May Goals Check In
May. 17th, 2022 10:13 amHello! It's time to check in with my goals for the month, see how things are going and maybe reevaluate some things.
1) Write fic on 20 days
So far I have written on 10 days! (Most of those I've written the bare minimum of three sentences which my jerk brain does not thinking is really enough, but I'm trying to ignore my jerk brain). Also I manged to finish and post a fic for the first time this year. I'm thinking of starting another short fic to take breaks form the slow going longer project because I enjoyed working on this one.
2)Finish the improv rainbow quilt Finish the blue section of the improv rainbow quilt
I've made good progress on the quilt but I've been slowed down by my wrist. So since I don't want to push my wrist too hard I've scaled this goal down.
3) Figure out what's next in Classical Chinese
I did this! I have decided to get another text book (An Introduction to Literary Chinese by Michael A. Fuller) and work through the introductory section of that. I just need a bit more exposure to the basics before I continue on with harder stuff.
4) Family Trip to Santa Cruz
This was last weekend! (and is the reason this update is few days late) It was good trip, I didn't get heatstroke, I did get in the water, and go on a ride, and see some redwood trees. And most importantly the kid loved it.
5) Wiscon
I have not yet cancelled my plane tickets and hotel room for this, but I continue to be unsure if I'm actually going! I will be on two online panels though. And the price of an online membership just dropped to $25! There's going to be a lot of great content online, so consider attending!
6) Take better care of my wrist
I'm working on it. I'm trying to spend lots of time resting, and I bought a new brace for sleeping and I think its helping. (I should maybe check in with my PT but I haven't yet)
How is your month going?
