Healthy Pony the New Year

[Dreamer]

For some positivity here, I've been struggling with starting my paper lately but I think I eventually found a good work flow. I'll get a good chunk done by the start of February if I keep up like this! Also, I finished that lineart but I'm letting it sit because well, I'm still not very good at it and I would like to check for issues first. And finally, I passed all my subjects except one (and because we've got an awful teacher there  )

I noticed I don't usually bite my nails, but only do so when I'm very anxious, stressed or bored. I own a lil' fidget cube to keep my hands busy when the biting bug arises but I would like to learn more alternatives.

I had great intentions to get more organized....and realized my knitting bag is so big, not really good to take to places like work. Sigh I just use plastic bags. Need something like that, but bags get holes due to needles. Sigh, my needkes are broken and my go to sight is not responding to order...i fear they might be going out of business:(

Glitterball: I'm going to try to catch up after my shift today. Classes that I have tomorrow are priority, and then I can catch up on English and such Monday night. I just need to stop being so lazyy
Dreamer: Congrats on your workflow! It's nice to get somethin' going. Have you tried spinners? They do more for me than cubes did. There are also spinning rings you can wear or necklaces with small fidgets that may suit you more than a cube.
Crowning Glory: Hopefully they're just swamped with orders, or busy? Hopefully they respond soon.

Ok, just freaking myself out. I agreed to be in a play, and did not read the script, and just discovered I will be in a swimsuit....well poo big diet time!!! And work out. Play is in April.

Oh wow, Crowning_Glory! BUT it gives you a 2-month goal to work towards!  You can do this!! To tone up faster, do some simple lifts with small weights (even cans of food will do!) as it really helps tone up any wobbly bits that won't go by dieting alone!

tailrustedtealeaf - hope you caught up! 

Dreamer - well done for passing nearly all of your subjects! I hope the stress goes soon 

Today - we have a gas supply to our old house - yay! Then my husband told me we have a gas man to come and service our own home boiler on Weds - so I drove home and scrubbed my kitchen  need to shift lots of laundry tomorrow too, so looks like I am on a marathon clean-up at home tomorrow until I take milady to her swimming lesson after school

Well, I calmed down a bit over the weekend, did some research and narrowed down some violins that seem reliable and have a nice tone, as well as finding a place to try some out. It'll mean travelling to Blackburn (three trains!) but it'll be worth it to have a decent choice and people with experience who can help me make the right decision. Not sure when I'm going to attend to that, in the meantime I'll just attempt to muster a slightly more tolerant attitude towards my electric violin...
Also applied for a job at a flower shop and got a call-back with an interview for tomorrow morning! Quite looking forward to it; I've always fancied working as a florist.
My sleeping patterns are still a bit all over the place, most likely from stress and possibly also trying to cram too much into my day. I'm going to have a trial run on getting up an hour earlier, take that time to relax and prepare myself, and see if that makes any difference.
Other than that, I made a start on a new issue of my comic, which has been on the back burner for a while. Might've gone a bit overboard with the easter eggs but it's good fun to do...

I've been drawing, crafting, and doing things for pictures. I've been slacking off on Gaelic because of massive amounts of homework though I'm really trying. Hopefully I can squeeze it in today.

[Crowning_Glory13]

I worked out...and then I ate out...haha not sure if that is a good balance. One can only giggle:)

[Dreamer]

So, what are your goals for this incoming month? I've got several fun events, but I haven't thought of any goals so far.

[Shatyr]

My next month goals are very similar to my last month goals, due to not completely meeting them this month. I'll likely post them tomorrow, using the last night of January to make as much progress as I can.

Crowning Glory you go girl!

[Crowning_Glory13]

Yup...not met my goals this month, but tiny steps closer....I am so happy with this project...it’s not 100% finished, but’s it My in between projects break!

On a good not my supplier of needles was out of the country, so they are back and want to give me free stuff!!!!

On a good note i gained 15 points on Wednesday. I was very productive, but no work out. I started to feel icky and skipped it, but sadly I still feel kinky. Sigh, but who knows what my day is going to be. I am however going to make my goal double points. Last average was about 2 points a week. I might make to 4. I get another 35th for reaching a 20 point goal. But now I am dangling the carrot and have to get double point average, or the rest of the week has a work out:)

I like to reward myself, but I really make myself work for it.

I haven't posted much at all this month. I've been reading but haven't felt like posting much (or had anything to post).

I did have my 1 custom sale this month, which I finished on the weekend. The customer loved it from the pictures, just waiting now to make sure it arrives safely and she's happy with it in person. Then I'll post some pics.

Otherwise haven't really done anything. The custom order took up the whole month, so no prep for the craftshow or anything else for my store. And my storage room still feels like a disaster. But hoping I can catch up in February and maybe have some more motivation (I really don't like Winter and January, so that might've been some of it.)

Crowning Glory, that outfit it really beautiful!

Just my luck, the work trial at the flower shop fell through, so it's back to square one on the jobhunting front. Still keeping busy, my housemate and I had a massive clear-out all around the house yesterday, which was a fracas but it's done now and we had a good laugh while we were at it.
Haven't gotten much done on my music goals due to being too busy, but I put a fresh set of strings on my favourite guitar and noodled a bit to help them settle in more quickly.
Also made the most of the sunshine today and went for a little walk through the semi-countryside areas around the outskirts of town; there were plenty of sheep and some horses out in the fields!
For the weekend, I'm probably just going to relax and take the time to cook something nice. There are some spicy falafels and whole lot of vegetables with my name on them!
