Try, try, one day.....

So my challenge "Try, try, again" just never happened.

I literally did not even attempt it. Here is my excuse:

I began night shifts as soon as I started my job in Northern, B.C. Night shift was expected, but not the length of time. I have now been on night shifts for almost an entire month. Being a vampire has messed with my body schedule and any attempt at this challenge seemed like too much effort. I admit it... it was too much, particularly with so little proper rest.

One day I will once again attempt this challenge, but for now it will be left waiting.

Before I re-attempt this challenge I am going to drastically reduce the amount of tasks listed and review the entire challenge. I do not want to keep setting myself up for failure. Although, I do not feel that failure is necessarily a bad thing, this challenge has become my nemesis and I would love to conquer it. Proving to myself that I can do it has become the evolution of this challenge. Third time's the charm right?

Recently, I have been doing something rather interesting here in camp. I have started using my left hand to do more day-to-day tasks. It seems to help my brain stay more alert.

This is something I did years ago when I worked as a day-lodge cashier at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. I was utterly bored to pieces standing there ringing people through the register.... so I began to use my left hand to do all of the transactions. I did this experiment for about 2 months of the season. Ever since, I have noticed that I use my left hand much more often than before. It took a very short amount of time for my brain to build pathways for left hand usage.

I have decided that becoming ambidextrous will be my next challenge.
