Sometimes things happen. Sometimes these things are planned.
My backlog goal for January 2023 was simple: finish the half-finished squad of 20 Necron warriors and Chronomancer that had sat, primed, on my hobby desk for almost 6 months. I already knew the paint scheme. I had all the paints, basing materials, and base magnets. All that was needed was time spent painting at the hobby desk.
I did it everyone. I painted a few models. In a month. Bare with me a minute while I pat myself on the back and try to avoid looking my shame pile in the eyes… not awkward…
May the Emperor forgive my idolence and sloth! I didn’t manage to achieve my goal for the month of January. Like going to the gym for a New Years resolution, I started out strong at the beginning of the month, and by the end was beginning to regret that paid-in-advance 6 month gym membership.
But is this truly a failure?
Major spoiler alert, I know. But, hey, you should always celebrate when you can. Come inside and celebrate this small success. First round is on me.
My Backlog project results did not meet my expectations. This was for various reasons. But that is not to say that I am unhappy with what I accomplished this January.
We’re well into January and I have made progress, but not as much as I might like and not on the stuff I planned to work on. But, progress nonetheless…
Progress has been made! Shock! Quelle surprise! I did end up getting sidetracked by a nasty cold, but otherwise, I think things are largely on track.
Just like Mike and Sully working on the scare floor, Roz has been silently watching me paint over the past couple of weeks painting away for the community challenge. It might not be much or make her happy but at least I’m submitting my first round of paperwork on time.
A couple weeks into January and I am making progress! Also, Let’s destroy my closet to see what’s hiding inside!
2022 threw a few expected wrenches in my hobby plans. If I wanted to compare 2021 and 2022 by the numbers, then 2022 indeed appears underwhelming. Let’s go over what I accomplished.
