Jan. 15th, 2021 10:44 amWell, we are have way through January 2021 so it time for a goals check in.
1) Write my 2020 in review posts
I'm making good progress on these so far I've posted about Non-fiction writing, fanfic writing, Outdoor finds, and reading. I've got one more about sewing coming some time next week.
2) Write two posts talking about what I've been observing in the built and natural environment around me
I'm counting "2020 in Review: Best Outdoor Finds" as the first of these
3) Read Five Online SFF shorts (Stretch goal: read or DNF all bookmarked stories form 2020, and finish Silk and Steel)
I've read two, and one story in Silk and Steel.
4)Sew two shirts for the kid
I've sewn most of one shirt so far. It's going a bit slower than I hoped but I have plenty of buffer built in
5) Sew Stripey baby quilt top
Done!
6)Write something fun!
No progress on this yet, maybe once I finish up the 2020 in review posts?
7) Take the cats to the vet
I have an appointment for them next Tuesday.
8)School Choice Form
This turned out to be more work then I thought. We have to resister entirely! It was so much work last year, but R very kindly volunteered to be point person for this. On the other hand ranking schools turned out to be easier that I thought? There where fewer schools to in our area than I thought, and R and I had a ten minute chat and agreed on our preferred order.
Well, this month has been a lot so far. In addition to national events we are still in a pretty high level of lockdown, and I've been feeling overwhelmed and out of focus. I'm doing surprisingly well at my goals though, managing to do a little bit every day at least. I hope you all are hanging in there!
