Day 5 Make a list of things you enjoy doing. 

Used to have an active list of things I enjoyed doing but nowadays I rarely do them due to work pressures and writing my novel-in-progress. These things sound simple but not so much but I'l list ten things. 
  1. Eating desserts but I need to calm down due to my teeth. Mostly bakery products, ice cream and some sweets or candy. I've got a sweet tooth but I'm measured since my last extraction. 
  2. Going to the cinema - though I haven't done this in years
  3. Writing stories though I'm still on the same one
  4. Taking writing courses - not time since I'm focusing on the story
  5. Reading books - this has taken a hit
  6. I used to love baking but watching my weight and time pressures
  7. Beach holidays - unwind time. 
  8. Singing but rarely do that anymore
  9. Drawing but that has taken a hit with the writing so no time.
  10. Visiting family 
  11. Hanging out on Scribophile but I should probably do less of that since it take up a lot of time. It's wind down time.
  12. watching movies, and though I subscribe to a Video club I rarely take films. 
  13. Shopping for stationery - I like note pads and pens
  14. The Sales though I've not been for a long time.
  15. Visiting the galleries and museums 

Nothing more. Perhaps I should use this as a measure of things I do.

Had coffee with a fellow writer, went to an exhibition on West Africa: Word, Symbol, Song at the British Library.

There was a massive Disney Christmas tree at St Pancras Station.  I thought I'd start with that picture. Implemented Accounting Guru Genius (AGG)  method this morning. I mentioned yesterdays she showed me her way of planning. Well it's kinda like project management critical path and working back but in AGG's way.  Well the results where what I sort of knew but it's official. I do too much. I've got so much on that I have make very slow progress with anything then end up procrastinating. So I really need to learn and get this planning and time management method under my belt. The only reason is that it's kinda the only thing I actually got. When AGG first did it, I was amazed. It was so impressive. I kinda forgot about it but it's coming up to the end of the year, and I've made great progress with some goals and projects but others are still hanging. Anyway after putting in all my hours I realised I only had a certain amount of free time. Not a...

The Scale (Martha's Way 1) by Mika Jolie

  This is one of the of the best romances I've read in a LONG TIME. I loved it! It's brilliant and even writing a review will not give it justice, but I'll try. Just get it because it's that good, positive and uplifting with a good ending. It’s also funny at times. About the story Most women (or me) can all relate to Minka, the main female character, who like most of us, defines herself by her flaws/issues - a few pounds overweight, insecurity about her body, confidence issues (which thanks goodness doesn't stop her from jumping into bed with Jason) and loves her glass of wine with a nice dessert, and likes to feel sorry for herself at times. And she is supposedly in love with an old college crush - the one she thinks that got away (you’ll need to read the book for more details). So we can all relate to her in one way or another, including her stubbornness in clinging to those issues and using them as an excuse not to get on with her life or even make the way...

My Father's Tears and Other Stories by John Updike

Great stories and some really touching. Most were very real so it more a study of human nature and how people grew older. He probably wrote these towards the latter part of his life because the average age of the characters mostly male were about 60 odd years old.
