Appar­ently it’s already May! What happened? Where have the first four months of the year gone? I mean, I don’t really keep track of the pas­sage of time much, but I kinda divide the year into before my birth­day and after my birth­day. Well it’s my birth­day this month which means that the first ‘half’ has already gone.
What have I done? What have I achieved? Which of my plans have come to fruition? Did I make any plans?
Tread­ing water is a phrase that comes to mind.
Actu­ally I didn’t make any plans, I never do. I never have done. I often feel that I am sup­posed to, or even pre­tend that I have, but a plan you have no belief in or no inten­tion of car­ry­ing through doesn’t count, does it?
Actu­ally I make it up as I go along. All of it. Everything. Work, fam­ily, everything. Hmmm… That should be work, fam­ily, full stop. There is noth­ing else. And when I say work, I mean com­putery stuff, which I ‘do’ most of the time, some of which I get paid for, which is good, but not enough, which is another story. And when I say fam­ily, I mean Jan and Jamie, and occa­sion­ally some of the oth­ers, but that’s a lot less than it was, which is yet another story.
I’m ram­bling now, as I some­times do, but not usu­ally here. And I’ve got a dozen things to do, and a 90-page doc­u­ment to read for a meet­ing first thing tomor­row. So I’d bet­ter go and read it…
Right… I’m going… Now.
