Honestly, if you were any slower, you’d be going backward.

I was out of town this weekend and happened into three different post ideas, none of which I have the brain capacity to do now that I’m back home. Tragic, that. Particularly when one is very tied to the week. Oh, well, I play with the cards I’m dealt.
Anyway, if it isn’t clear from the hour this is being posted, I’m exhausted. I just got back from an absolutely phenomenal weekend out with the family. One that’s been a long time coming. I’d been a little tentative about it just because of the cost of things lately, but sometimes you just have to accept things as they are and go ahead with the plans. Glad I did. I wouldn’t have traded this for the world. The time with the family, yes, but also a particular event that I’ll cover either next week or the week after, depending.
In the meantime, a brief update on goals. I was almost there, Dwellers. Sixty-six goals in October and I finished sixty-five. My final woodworking goal was just not going to cut (ba-dum-tss) it on Halloween night. Could I have tried to play off sawing things while kids were out Trick-Or-Treating? Probably. Was I going to? Definitely not. So, it got pushed into November.
Speaking of November, I sat down with the full recognition that this month is going to be miserable for time. Every weekend is occupied with one thing or another, be that going out of town (twice), having people come into town, or having my anniversary. Not to mention all the things going on during the weeks in general. So, naturally, less time means less time to finish goals. Coming hot off the heals of a great month, I figured I should keep that streak of success going and lower the number of goals on the list. Smart.
This, of course, led to me having more. Seventy-one at the moment, and that’s not counting the ones that will show up over time regarding work. Absolutely nailed it. Definitely pulled a me. Whatever. I’m in it to win it. The year’s drawing to a close and I’ve got a lot to get done. Not like this is all going to complete itself, right?
Again, sorry to keep dropping these marginal, rambly nothing burgers of posts, but I am just dead tonight. Next week, I’ll have some substance. Promise. Now, pardon me while I go pass out.
