Day 9

It's back to work for me today *sad face* (I had a few extra days off because of the heating debacle) so I'm testing out a scheduled post ... hopefully this will appear at 6am :).

So, first of all, I had a couple of you asking how I choose the word of the day. My original intention was to have a whole bunch of words in a jar, and pick one out at random each day. So it would be as much of a surprise to me as it was to you. But then I got involved with the photography challenge on UKScrappers, and I wanted those who wanted to follow both Snap: 2012 and 365+1 to be able to do so without much more effort. Snap: 2012 centres round a weekly theme, so the easiest way to merge the two was to have the daily word fit in with the theme. So I went into super-planning-overdrive and planned out 52 weeks worth of themes, with 7 words each week that fit that theme. Unfortunately this took out the spontaneity for myself - I know all the words in advance, but I'm still taking the photo on the day. It seems to be working well so far (I did swap out yesterday's word ...). I absolutely know that there will come a time when this becomes a drag and many of you will drop out for a while and I will WANT to give up, but I promise to keep posting at least the word every day :D

Anyway ... as I mentioned, today sees me returning to work after the Christmas break (I'm extremely lucky to work term-time only!), and also marks the beginning of the pre-holiday-in-the-sunshine healthy eating quest. One of the changes I'll be making is to drink more ...

water

Think literally or laterally, interpret as you wish or not at all ... my photo will be up when I get home from work (hopefully).

Here it is! How much water did I manage to drink today?
