Day 254: Update on... Stuff

I was away this week, and so was not able to post my update (and didn't have time to compose it before I went). So, here it is...

The last few weeks have been much more normal than the rest of the year, which is good. Though, oddly, they have also featured the disruption of two lots of packing for holidays, and also a bout of illness for Funsize and then Surprise!. Fortunately, it was just a cold, though still fairly horrible for them. Funsize is now fully recovered, thankfully, with Surprise! now very much on the mend.

• Books: By Day 254 I should expect to have completed 41.753 books. I've finished 40 and am halfway through one other, so I'm fairly far behind. I'm now doubting whether I'll hit the planned 60 for the year, though I do expect to complete the 12 from The List. So not all bad.
• Weight: This is in a pretty bad way - the two holidays have caused me to gain weight, and so there's a definite need for a pretty serious bout of dieting. Watch this space.
• Blogging: By this point I would have hoped to have posted around 83 times here and 42 or so over on the Imaginarium. I'm way behind on both blogs, and unlikely to hit my targets on either. A shame.
• Redecorating the Spare Room: Done.
• Tadpole #2: Done.

And that's that. Two complete, two behind and unlikely to complete, and one going in the wrong direction. It's lucky I didn't set any formal goals for the year, because this is a pretty poor showing.

#38: "Warlord", by Bernard Cornwell (a great end to a great series)
#39: "The Notebook", by Nicholas Sparks (a book from The List - ten to go)
#40: "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes", by Suzanne Collins
