Usually when I set my mind to a goal, there’s no stopping me. However, with the daily blogging goal, it’s been a struggle.
Every day it’s on my to do list and it just gets pushed off until later. And I’m in no mood to publish a blog post after dinner.
The first five days of the challenge were easy. I was on the road traveling and I got up earlier than the rest of my team and was able to write a post before heading out for the day.
Last Saturday was when the wheels fell off.
I discovered around 10am that our sump pump in our house wasn’t working and the backup had kicked on. It had rained most of Friday and Saturday morning and our sump croc fills up with water quickly.
I dropped all plans for the day and ran out to Lowe’s to buy this stuff to start the process of replacing the broken pump.
I worked for a couple of hours and after another trip to Lowe’s, finally was able to get the new one installed temporarily to start pumping the water out of our house.
We had family Christmas pictures schedule so I had to leave before the job was fully completely. Luckily my mom was in town, so we left to get the pictures taken and she baby sat the sump pump.
I wasn’t able to install the float, so I needed her to unplug the pump if the croc ever completely emptied.
When we returned from pictures, my dad had arrived and we spent until 6:30pm getting the new pump completely installed.
So, finally, at 7pm, I was ready to start my day.
I decided to spend time with my family and not blog and that’s when the daily posts stopped.
Now that I’m caught up from the weekend’s adventures and my traveling from last week, I’m all set to tackle the daily mission of blogging again.
