February Blogging

canyonwalkerIt's time for my monthly check-in about blogging. ...Yes, I check every month. I don't post about it every month, but I always do check it. I'm posting about it this month because I fell short of 2/3 of my goals.
For starters, I missed my baseline goal of writing every day. This breaks my 10+ month streak of blogging every day. I dropped one day this month, Feb 12. One day. I was busy with all-day SKO meetings and evening events. By the time I got back to my room it was already almost midnight, and I considered what to do with my limited energies. I favored taking a shower and going straight to bed— as I had two more full days of meetings with early starts ahead— over writing a journal.
Also this month I came up short of meeting my stretch goal averaging at least 2 posts/day. I did come in just over 1.5, which at least satisfies my middle goal. But I feel I could have reached my stretch goal of 2/day if I hadn't run out of gas this month. Twice.
I was low on gas for blogging in the first half of the month because, frankly, I was depressed. I was bummed about the bad-news developments at my job. My spirits picked up around mid-month with (partial) improvements at work. Plus, I had a fun weekend trip to write about. But then I started feeling dispirited again and didn't have the fucks to give to blog more than once a day for several days. I finish the month with a few journal entries about that trip still in my backlog.
