Good Tuesday all,
So as I write this I am currently squeezed between a commuter and an Olympic staff member... It's fun living down the road from the Olympic housing.
Well I mentioned yesterday about my mocks I was taking last night, yeah, not such a great idea. I took a look at the paper and my mind went BLANK! Back to the books for me, but that's ok, between this week and next I can re-read the book in question, and retake the mocks again.
I'm unsure if the same will apply to the other modules, I'll have to see. It's been many months since I've touched them as I've been focussing on getting my head around Basic Accounting 1 (BA1).
I did however have a bit of soul searching yesterday:
It was the Moo's daily bath time, something she loves, being able to play in the water and splash Daddy.
I started doubting if continuing my time as a Henchman was such a great idea. I was playing with my daughter as she would pass me her favourite toy, and I'd pass it back to her, before she'd throw it in the water and then repeat the process with another toy, and it entered my head; I haven't spent a Saturday with my girl in 2 weeks, and I won't be this Saturday because of work.
And let's be honest, who lay on their death bed and said "my only regret is not playing more Wargames"?
But I gave it some thought, like I said, I've had 2 Saturdays in a row and will be working next Saturday.
I should wait until my schedule is back to normal before making such a big decision.
I do love henching, and my next MaliDAZE shouldn't be until early September and then I should have nothing until October.
Oh look the train stop is here..

Right then, sorry about that.
So anyway, I am thinking that I should hold fire on any rash decisions for now. I've currently got a lot on my plate and giving up something I love doing is not the best of plans, and once I've had a few weeks with the little one I'll feel better.

Surely the henchman requirement isn't that you do things most Saturdays, if you're playing malifaux once a mont down club or shop then you're advertising the game and doing your bit. Don't forget just being seen playing is advertising the game.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I'm just mind splurging at the moment, and because my last two weekends have been spent henching, I guess I'm feeling guilty about not spending it with my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI know it will pass, I just need to wait until I get some quality time with her.
My requirement is a minimum of 1 event a month, and that's what I am doing, it's just July's and August's ended up back to back.
Like I said in the post, being rational, this month is a-typical but i just found it interesting that I would be willing to give up something I love this much for her.
It's a new concept for me.
