Bec<p>This time of year is always a bit chaotic but this year seems worse than usual. I know why, but knowing why does not stop the Too Much To Do. </p><p>To that end, I've enlisted my diary as it's somehow easier to remember things when I have them written on paper than when I have them in my phone calendar. The downside is I can now see very clearly what I've got on. Bah. </p><p>I've given notice to my only freelance job, which is comforting, even though the notice is from the end of the year so that's not helping me now. </p><p>The thing that is helping is thinking about what I will do with the more time I have next year:</p><p>- make some pottery (on a wheel)<br>- continue killing the lawn and converting it to ground cover and wildflowers<br>- hike and bike, bake and cook<br>- put effort into working out how to crochet<br>- have a go at whittling spoons</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/craft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craft</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TooBusy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TooBusy</span></a> #2025 <a href="https://aus.social/tags/plans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plans</span></a></p>
