State of the challenge

My scheduling/planning abilities have improved to the point where... I can tell you today at which point I will start missing updates. Yeah. The predicted date is October 28 with some possibility of missing October 24 as well. It turns out that no amount of planning, time management or discipline can make up for me having all my weekday time eaten up by the day job and spending 3 out of the last five weekends being sick for at least one day (as well as spending an afternoon at a running event on one of the other weekends, but that was included in my original planning). 

In my original description of the update challenge, I mentioned a forfeit that I'd make myself pay if I lost. I've decided to waive that, because there were two things I didn't anticipate: one, that I'd get sick so often during the challenge, and two, that there were so many double updates among the pages that I'd be redrawing. Instead of 19 pages, the full scope of the update is 24 or 25. So a bigger workload and less capacity for a reason I cannot do anything about. Since I don't want the challenge to be another source of stress in an already high-stress life, I've decided that dumping more work on myself as a forfeit for failing this challenge under these conditions would be a step too far. Drawing a line right there so things stay enjoyable for me. I'm unlikely to allow myself to buy a new guitar though.
