November

It's almost November and I am woefully unprepared. So many things to do, so very little time to do them in.

I wanted to plan out every little thing for the month but this is made difficult by the fact that I absolutely hate planning. I can see its benefits but plans have a tendency to not follow through. And I tend to tear out what little hair I have left when things don't go according to plan. I have found that my scalp is quite grateful when I take things as they come, fly by the seat of my pants and play it by ear. It is easier to shrug off things that are unplanned.

In addition to daily work, I am taking part in a 14k fun run, trying to write a 50,000 word novel as part of the National Novel Writing Month, preparing for a test that would determine a big part of the rest of my life and that one other thing that is going to happen in December.

This will be fun.
