I'm not getting any better at this.

I'm right into the symbolism thing, of making a big blog post on New Years' Day to set up the tenor and timbre and tone of the coming year, snapshot of where I am now, resolutions and goals and what have you. What I'm not into, it would appear, is the execution. Here I am posting an excuse for not making the post I was all cool about making (and it's half past midnight, not even NYD anymore) and about to go to bed. And my big New Year post for last January was about how I couldn't get my new shelves assembled.

I think the thing to do is to write off NYD as a Big Symbolic Day. I'm always tired and distracted and my home is always a bomb site because I've only just come back from my big Christmas visit, before which I was too caught up to do any cleaning. Fuck it. I'll deploy my sense of humour instead of my sense of occasion.

(One thing that this NYD has in common with the last one: shelves! A local bookshop shut down and sold off all their fittings as well as their books, so I bought a shitload of bookshelves. Maybe I'll actually win some floor space back now.)
