Corner

Another review of the forecasting presentation first thing. Always helpful to get S’s input but not a lot is going to be changed at this point.  My weekly update was remarkably short because most of my energies have been put into herding people to get us to a point that we can deliver a coherent presentation.  I think the team has pulled together really well and, if nothing else, I think that’s worth celebrating. 

I didn’t leave the house today which may have contributed to the fact that only my stand goal was completed today, and my move and exercise goals were not. When I am trying to focus on a single piece of work, I like to do my thinking standing up - often walking around.  It would be beneficial to my day if I took some time in the working hours just to walk around outside. I process my thoughts and information while walking.  Instead, I am pacing the room or walking up and down the stairs to the kitchen making another tea or coffee that I won’t finish. 

At this time of year I am walking past a snowman. The snowman comes out every Christmas and sits on the a step on the stairs.  This year, he’s in the corner where the steps take a right turn to get to the landing. In case you are worried, this is a big wide step and he’s not really a trip hazard.  I can’t remember where he came from, nor when he arrived in our Christmas box, but I know he’s weighted and may be designed as a doorstop or similar. But every year, in this house, he has been on the stairs. He’s probably the easiest decoration to put up.
