Habit Tracking: Week 10 (March 07 - March 13)
Today was stupid. My whole day was set aside to train a new person... and she quit right before she was supposed to come in. She made it through onboarding and the state system training, and quit before lunch! Allegedly her reason was "I don't understand why I need to know all of this." So... glad she bailed before she wasted my time, lol. (Also she barged into my location's office, no mask on, didn't introduce herself, and just shoved her training binder at me telling me she was "returning this", before they'd even let me know she was quitting, so... extra glad she's not actually going to be here.)
But here's my habit tracker for last week!

And I gave myself a ~fancy~ spider sticker, because it was my birthday week, and I can.
(Also, this specific spider makes me think of A Guest For Mr. Spider from The Magnus Archives. Just me? Probably, but the creepy cartoony look seems fitting for a monstrous evil children's book. It even hasthe a web in the background.)
ANYWAY.
I was reasonably happy with the week. It included my birthday, but then also some very frustrating days, with the pre-blizzard and the issues at work regarding whether I was allowed to take time off.
For my extra goals:
- I did NOT edit chapter 6 of Steffi's book
- I finished my reread of All Strange Wonders
- I finished Taste of Marrow
- I cleaned the middle shelf on my white bookcase
- I didn't post about River of Teeth (still), but may combine the two books
For the actual habits:
- Work - 5/7
- Household Maintenance - 2/7, which is all right
- Physical Activity - 2/7, which is still better than I often do
- Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 0/7, but with 6 days of less than 500 words. My effort needed to be on rereading, so I wasn't expecting a high wordcount, and I'm just glad for the consistent progress.
- Meta Work - 6/7, which is great! (Again, the meta category was in part so that I wouldn't feel guilty for low wordcounts when working on other aspects of a fic, like research or planning. So I'm glad I get to use that category.)
- Personal Writing - 7/7, still!
- Other Creative Things - .5/7, really just doing the layout for my habit tracking, lol
- Reading - 7/7, both fic and physical book. Nice!
- Video Games - 0/7, what is time
- Social Interaction - 7/7, also good!
Total words of fiction written: 500 words on All Strange Wonders
500 in a week isn't 500/day, but again, this was a meta-heavy week rather than a writing week.
Also, hot damn, 10 weeks of habit tracking! An arbitrary round number, but that feels pretty good. :)
