Tea and Cakes

Blatantly stealing the idea from Elimare
There has been a big lack of posting recently for various reasons. This is what’s going on.

1. I’m working like a maniac. It will be worth it next year, but I’m not looking forward to the next few months, and I’m going to have to be very clear with the powers that be about how much of this I can keep on doing.

2. I have failed miserably to keep in touch with any of my friends. Sorry.

3. My neice’s birthday present is still at home, not in the post where it should be. Too late now, but I shall try to post it tomorrow.

4. I’m only at 8500 words on nano. About 20,000 behind target. I’m not giving in. I’m taking Monday off. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon too, but I tried that last Friday and worked 12 hours instead.

5. I haven’t been knitting nearly enough. Knitting makes me calm. I should knit more.

6. I have failed miserably at categorising my beverages this last while. I intend to rectify this. Just not yet.

7. I’m trying (and failing miserably at this too) to stop eating cake. Writing about the cake I’ve eaten would just make it real. If I don’t write about it, I didn’t really eat it. Then I can try and kid myself I ate something healthy instead. Like blueberries (muffin) and carrots (cake) yesterday, and healthy healthy, erm, chocolate (cake) today. No redeeming features there I’m afraid. I did have a proper dinner tonight though too. Mmmm, Tesco microwave meals. Euchk. I can still taste it.
