Yeah, I missed another day of writing. However, this is the end of my first set of 21 days. That didn’t seem so bad.
This afternoon, Josh and I confirmed out next little “business venture,” and I got paid. At 4:45, Steve and I left for Garden City, KS, hoping we could get there before Staples closed. Why? They are the only store in a rather wide radius that carried the camera I wanted. And they only had one in stock. And it just went on sale today. And closing time’s six o’clock.
Sure, the roads are kind of bad in-town, because of all the snow, but the highways are clear. Fifteen minutes to get to Liberal, and through it, then an hour to get to Garden and into Staples’ doors. Perfect timing, a little minor speeding, and some very kind Staples employees means that I have a new camera.
It’s only a point-and-shoot, but it’s far, far better than my old Kodak, and I am happy.
The three:
- Writing. Yesterday, no check. Today, check. *
- Caffeine. Check, both days.
- Secret. Check, both days.
Overall results of the first 21 days:
- Writing. It was difficult, but I did manage to write most days. Some days were written in a notebook and published later, but they were written.
- Caffeine. Again, difficult, and not quite as successful. However, I did notice that on the days I drank more than one, I actually stopped to think about it before choosing to have a second. That’s progress.
- Secret. Successful.
I’ll spend the next week deciding on the next few habits for February’s experiment, and not reporting my progress on the first three, to see if accountability influences the results.
