Thinking about next year and what I would like to focus on.

2019 was a year full of larps - returning to old games, trying a new one, and continuing things I had been doing. But I am not sure how much I want to continue doing that many games, especially if they come back to back to each other or next to holidays as it got way too much this year and the build up of wibble exploded my brain.

I am not planning too much holiday-wise next year, have 1, possibly 2 UK trips but that is it, so that side of things is easier, but I think I need to make sure I don't do more than one game a month. Tricky in June as it's both Faerie Tales and Empire, and those are next to each other (there are 2 months where Legion of Dreams and Empire are next to each other as well), but then there are some months with no games so maybe one of these back to backs might be ok, giving priority to June as I've booked those games already.

I think the main things I want to do more of are gardening and running, now the vegetable beds, growhouse, potting shed etc. are built I can start at the beginning of the growing season unlike last year, and I have lots of things I want to try to grow. This is not very compatible with being away multiple weekends, another reason to stay at home.

Also discovered park runs last month which are both good fitness and free, plus because you can be back home again by 10am on Saturday morning, are fabulously compatible with gardening. I booked 3 actual races locally too so I have some goals to work towards, including a 10 mile one in March which could be interesting!

There are a few DIY projects ongoing, the winter one (sorting the trees of doom) might end up being more than I can do by myself eventually, but will see how far I can get with that. The others, mainly painting/retouching ceilings and walls, are quite easy. I have ideas forming to rejuvenate the kitchen but that's something that will have to wait until 2021 I think because of money and plotting and researching specifics.
