Mid-Year Resolutions

Today, finally, I did my Barclaycard and personal expense reports. I had nowhere near the number of months piled up as the last time I got around to doing them (11 months), and like that time, I have received no notices telling me to hurry up and do them (which I am supposed to receive, and which, without, I can't be cautioned for not following rules), but I nonetheless feel like I want to get these kind of things under control. August is holiday month in the U.K., so half the office seems to be away. That, combined with the fact that our office flooded two weeks ago, and the part of our job has always been to support conferences and meetings, but that we no longer have any available meeting facilities (they were under about two feet of water for a couple of days, which ruined the floors and all of the network and electrical wiring under them). Actually, I will post some pictures, which is more informative.

Anyway, I got all my receipts in order, labeled the file folders, cleaned my desk, and...promptly dumped this on the desk of our team assistant, Anita, to deal with. Still, it is definitely dealt with.
I also signed up for a Pose Method workshop in September. I had been practising this method, and doing training sessions with a personal coach a few times. However, the gym was drowned, so I haven't had a place to do training for a bit. My tummy is expanding, and I need to get into shape, so I signed up for the London workshop. That is one thing: Pose is meant to help you run better, and injure yourself a lot less, but it is not easy to just pick up and do, and training is essential. Dr. Nicholas Romanov, the inventor, is doing the session, so it should be good.
I next need to clean my room (which resembles some of the pictures above), do something about our disgusting back garden, and figure out a holiday for my somewhat complaining wife. Complaining because we don't have a holiday planned for the summer. The HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, formerly known as the Inland Revenue) apparently believe that I owe them some money, as a result of incorrect PAYE codes being used by my employer. Until I am sure how much that is, and have it paid, I don't want to drop the minimum of £1,000 it seems to take whenever we go on holiday. Getting this taken care of, too, should be near the list of priorities...
Ah, the lazy days of summer...
