August Goals

So for the last two months I've done monthly projects. And they've been really fun. So I was thinking about doing another one for August, but after thinking about it I decide I don't want to. I've been trying a bunch of new stuff lately: Fanfic, and music, and Chinese drama! Plus I've been getting back into manga after a long break. And I want to keep up a bit better with short SFF. So I think maybe its time to work on consolidating rather than starting more new stuff. However I liked posting goals here it made me feel more accountable to state things publicly. So here are some of my goals for the month.

1)Finish listening the to all the songs recommended to me for my June music project

2)Read at least 5 online pieces of short SFF and get started on one of the anthologies or collections I have sitting in my TBR. (Current list of physical books: Invisible Planets, A Thousand Beginnings and Endings, Hexarchate Stores, Falling in Love with Hominds, Dangerous Space, The Sea is Ours: Tales of Steampunk Southeast Asia. Plus I know I have a few more in ebook.)

3)Finish my Guardian food project. I only have the last five episodes to go but I'm getting slowed down by two things. First that I've gotten distracted and being using my limited TV watching time on other things and second these last episodes are full of angst and I am having trouble motivating my self to watch them. I don't want the bad things to happen!

4)Maybe finish my the quilt. I'm about 3/4s done with the quilting now so I need to finish that, trim it, then do the binding. Anwyas I defiantly want to finish the quilting.

R left for GenCon on Wednesday. I'm not solo parenting because E, R's mom who we live with, is still around. But I am doing more childcare especially over the weekend so I'm trying to tell myself its ok to get less done. Later this month N is going to have a two week break for preschool so that will probably mean I get less done too. Anyways I'm feeling a little bit stressed about it but I'm sure it will be fine.
