It is finished

March has come and gone. So here is the update on my March resolutions:
1. While last week I did not post 3 times, I did notch up 17 posts for the month of March. That averages more than 3 posts a week across the whole month, so I think I'll give myself a pass on that one.
2. 9 gym visits. Well, two of those visits (the last two) were more a swipe card and leave experience, but it's Discovery's scoreboard that counts, and according to their records, I have pulled off my nine visits. Yay! I vow never again to leave things like this to the last minute. Last week was busy enough as it was without having to show my face at gym 5 times!

With the passing of March do you realise we are now a quarter of the way through 2007? Time sure flies, but I'm not complaining. I'm holding out for 2008. Big changes planned for 2008, but nothing I dare reveal just yet.

I have a small printed calendar of the present month and the forthcoming month taped to my PC at work. I started this as a countdown to a holiday I took in 2004. I crossed off the days past en-route to the much anticipated vacation. When we got back from holiday, I just kept going with it. It's like I need to mark the passing of time, especially on bad days, to ensure myself that I'm not just reliving the same crappy day over and over again. It's a comfort then. It's a little more sad when anticipated days, vacations and events are crossed off. It makes it more final that yes, my birthday / anniversary / Christmas is gone for another year.

Either way, it's a comforting ritual for me when I get to work in the morning and I cross of the previous day. Mondays are a double bonus, if a little sad, as I get to cross off Friday, Saturday & Sunday in one go.

Ah well, no-one can accuse me of not noticing time passing. I think it's gonna be a blue Monday folks, but at least it's a 4 day work week - Enjoy!
