Knitfisher, Happy Birthday!
I hope the later part of your day was more enjoyable even though you had work to do earlier.
Wishing you happiness in the coming year!
@ Findingaway @ Jalla
Oh thank you findingaway. Purple is my favourite colour.
I actually felt unwell the latter part of the day because of something I ate, (although I've eaten it many times before so not sure why) but I did watch my film, and we postponed our treat dinner to the weekend. We'll also be doing something nice on Sunday too.
I was just feeling upset because I find the work for this client really hard (it's in a mess, and it's taking time to get it up to scratch) and I felt like I'd let him down by leaving it to the last minute again. But I can do better, I know I can. I feel OK today, so looking forward to making some serious headway. Will be strict with myself with poms so I don't fall into a pit of "I'm not getting anyway but I'm still digging"
Thank you for the thoughts.

Sorry to hear you were ill on your birthday, but glad you will have a special dinner and something else nice on the weekend.
Solidarity with the work, hope it went well today.

Happy Birthday Knitfisher!
Happy Bithday Knitfisher! Hope you have a nice birthday evening and upcoming birthday weekend if you are that way inclined! (I think we should have birthday weekends if actual birthday in the week!!
)
@knitfisher/jalla
Oh dear - i'm so ahead here in Aus I often miss the check ins of others - and so your birthday, dear Kingfisher. And I would like to go further than jalla with the spreading of birthdays to the weekend- They should be at least a week long, probably two so that one can be serenaded by friends one by one - unless of course you enjoy big bash parties.
@ mole
I love the idea of being serenaded! I am hijacking a party on Friday to celebrate my birthday. I felt a bit rotten on the day anyway, so any excuse to string it out.

KF Birthday check in 3rd Dec 11:11
edit: 3.11pm
I always tell myself that it's just a day, but it's meant to be your day. Separate from your procrastination. I was going to do work in the morning, then relax. I've worked longer than I wanted, and I still don't feel like I've acheived anything. I should have organised something for my birthday. I could have asked DH to take the day off, I could have arranged to meet a friend. This work needs to be done, but it's all the worse for having wasted my day when I could have just been enjoying myself as I so rarely allow myself to do. I am so angry that this defect in me even prevents me from enjoying the one day a year set aside to be mine. (I know there's too much pressure on special days to be special, but I guess I'm just annoyed that mine isn't at all that special so far) I haven't had a birthday celebration for 2 or 3 years. Not a proper one. I hated organising them and so I stopped doing it. But I miss it. And now everyone thinks I don't want one, when actually I just put off organising them til it's too late. I don't mind getting older, I guess it's just the fact that you *should* do something, and if you don't do something you're a bit odd.
It's my birthday, and I am still late to work, (and I feel I must work) but not to be too sad. I will not be forcing myself to work all day, or feeling bad if I am not working. (I am a bit annoyed I didn't start earlier though. such is the way) Work first for a few hours, and then a few hours doing what I like doing without guilt.
Today I have some scary things to do. I have permission to do them in a non-scary way if that will get them done (and if the alternative is not doing them)
Today I will:
