I’ve been doing this blog for five years now…plus a day. I missed the anniversary last night! 😂

In my defense…yesterday was a loooong day.

I wrote today. Not much, and not for long…it took me about an hour to write 500 words…but I did it. Tomorrow, I’m going to set out some hard guidelines and goals for the last two months of the year. I have *so* *much* to finish, and here’s the thing: I caaannn finish. I waaaant to finish. So…gonna do it. Or at least do my best to do it.

That’s the other thing: I’m happy to miss a deadline or a goal if I feel like I worked hard enough. If I did my best and it wasn’t quite enough, I’m good with that. I really am. It’s only when I know that I didn’t do everything I could to accomplish something that I beat myself up. Still don’t recommend the beating…but it is hard when I know I can do better.

Sometimes “better” just takes some time. I’ve definitely taken a whole lot of that “time” this past year and a half. It’s time to actually *do* better*.

I am resolved.

Wish me luck.

Ps- it was Wolfie’s birthday today. We went over and had dinner and cake with the Kings, and we brought the pups and Tilde pretended to cut my hair and Bellie played piano for me, and Wolf got these transformers that were impossible to change back and forth. It was a wonderful evening.

Good night.
