... yeah that's pretty much it. Life (aka family and work) got in the way. And along the way my mojo went with it. Being in a funk and feeling blue is never easy. We all go through it. For me it happens rarely but last month it happened with a sudden jolt and I've been feeling my way out of it ever since.
The plans halted... though looking back it wasn't a complete disaster.
Out of the 12 books I read 9 plus a few others that weren't mention. The joy of having a holds list which sees books constantly coming across my desk. I also watched all of Season 2 of Bosch and it was good. Really good. Which of course means I am now hanging out for season 3. My other viewing (I'll See You In My Dreams) wasn't so good because instead of being quirky and funny like I thought it would be it was instead sad. So sad that I sat through it crying buckets. Which is probably not a good thing when you're feeling blue and yet kind of cathartic at the same time.
As for my last 3 goals... well I did manage to go for a walk 20 days out of 30 so I'm counting that as a win. As for the other 2 - write more and do some cross stitch - does taking out my cross stitch work bag from it's hiding place in the wardrobe count? Probably not. As for the writing, well we all know how disastrous that turned out.
So on the whole part success and part complete failure. Oh well maybe I'll have better luck with May's plans.
This month the reading is taking a bit of a dive. Sometimes I feel like I spend too much time reading and not enough time doing other things. And with the blue mood I've been in I've decided to pull back a little from trying to work through my To Be Read pile at lightening speed and concentrate on some other stuff.
1. Scarlet Widow by Graham Masterton
I must admit I don't read a lot of historical fiction. But every now and again something
will catch my eye and this is one of those books.
2. Nobody But You by Jill Shalvis
I've mentioned before how much I love Jill Shalvis's books so of course this had to go
on my To-Be-Read pile.
3. The Passenger by Lisa Lutz.
A thriller. Because you always have to have at least one in the pile
4. The Bookshop Book by Jen Campbell
A book about bookshops? You just knew I had to read this.
I know, right. It seems completely weird but there you go. Maybe having a tidy home
will help make my brain tidy.
6. Knitlandia: A Knitter Sees The World
I've been thinking of getting back into knitting after more than 10 years of doing
absolutely none. So this book and the next one are part of the outcome
7. 60 Quick Knits
Speaks for itself.
8. Agent Carter Season 2
Do I really need to explain this one? Probably not. Because Hayley Atwell is
awesome
9. Captain America: Civil War
Yet another superhero one. And one I'll actually go to the movies for
10. Tiny: A Story About Living Small
A documentary about tiny house living.
11. Doctor Who: Doom Coalition
I must confess that I currently have all of the 8th Doctor Who audio adventures. One
because of Paul McGann and two because they are so good.
12. Lose weight and get fit
Pretty much a permanent goal in my life right now.
13. Write more
After last month's no go I really would like to hit the magic number 13 in my blog posts
for the month. Any other writing will just be a bonus.
14. Cross stitching
Yeah it's still on the list. Hopefully this time I'll get further than just taking the bag out of
the wardrobe...
I'm also going to add...
15. Knit something
It's be so long since I've done any of this that I'm just going to start out slow and
small.... maybe some finger-less gloves or a scarf or two.
