Had a lovely day off yesterday and went to a great gig in the evening - traditional Egyptian music with a modern twist.
Anyway, today I realised like a smack in the head that over the past few days I have got completely muddled over something on this challenge. I sat down to figure out my day - recall it's supposed to be 8 hours of accountability - and I have been finding it hard the past few days!! Well I reviewed my list and it was about 12 hours. So I went back to the initial principles and realised that stuff I was supposed to be counting as 'other' I was adding ONTOP of other! So I have been overworking
It also means that my stated aims for 'work' for the coming week are grossly over planned - the 'work' time is supposed to include swimming, various big weekly housework chores, and other things, which for the past few days I've been trying to do extra to the time. Doh.
That gives me great relief, I couldn't understand why things had started going pearshaped. EG my swim takes out around 2 hours of 'other' (extra walking, plus just over an hour swimming time plus changing etc) which I had started putting outside Other!
Anyway, I am going to take stock in a short while and see what else is left to do to make this a A day
DAY 16 - A
I swam today, walked an extra mile (so I walked 6.5km today), did my arabic (reviewing what I learnt from the 'advanced' course and what the 'vocabulary' course contains coming up), piano practice (I can stumble through 2 pages of 'the piece' now
), drafted a blog post about the gig last night, though I want to add some photos and I took them on one of my camera-phones which doesn't connect to computers (don't ask - blame a MAN - I let a man help me choose this one - bad mistake - trying to 'show him he his necessary in your life' kind of fem thing - didn't work anyway - I believe he's married to someone else now
) so am downloading software that I'm hoping will let the cable I bought let phone and computer talk to each other.
Haven't done the moisturizing thing yet and didn't wear earrings.
I also managed to see a friend I haven't met up with for a few days so basically a good day.
