The reasons I've been so crap at keeping this blog up-to-date

2015 has proven to be an exceedingly difficult year to find motivation to continue with this blog. It's not that I don't want to have the blog, I love looking back through. I just don't want to do the work to keep it up.

Here's a couple of things that have been getting in the way of my motivation:

• I was successful at getting a one-year contract in another Faculty job-sharing in a Team Leader role. Learning a new set of courses, tasks and personalities; being responsible for a team of people; and taking on a year-long supervisor training course has been sapping much of my mental energy.
• I decided to do the 60-km Weekend to End Women's Cancer again in March. The fundraising and training required ate up a lot of my time. I'm proud to have done it again, but I ended up with a nasty sinus infection the week leading up to the walk and a killer cold the weekend of the walk which resulted in me feeling completely miserable and the weekend being much less memorable than last year's.
• I've taken on a new volunteer role at the boys' school: the Scholastic Book lady. I love it, but divvying out order forms, collecting money, placing orders, and delivering books takes up much more time than I imagined.
• I'm getting old and find that all the energy I can manage at the end of the day is to play a couple of pixel logic puzzles on the ipad before falling asleep on the couch.
