Re-learning Lessons; The Cone of Shame


I have failed my deadline; my head hangs in shame. While I still believe it was possible, I was expecting things open up perfectly for me. Holidays are often a crazy time for the family. We do a great deal of traveling and use up our time for things that we don't normally have time for; like doctors, dentists, etc. I completely overlooked this and was overzealous of what I would be able to accomplish during that time.

Additionally I failed to allow for unforeseen circumstances. My family is currently going through a cycle of a flu bug. Hopefully it won't make a full round as that risks another round through the family. I am now in better shape to function and try to finish this project.

I am moving my deadline forward due to these circumstances. Instinctively I want to move it forward a week, but I'm aware that this deadline isn't reasonable. Therefore I am moving it forward to February 7, one month more, than initially planned. I'm hoping that if I can remain focused and continue to get support I will make this new deadline.
