Well we are now halfway through February so it's time for another goals update.

1) Post some Hugo recs
I have gotten started on this over the last week. I hope to post a few more categories before the end of the month.

2) Read or DNF all the 2019 short SFF I have bookmarked
I'm making progress on this! Despite having added a bunch more stories to the list, I think I now have fewer to-read 2019 stories that I did at the start of the month. I've also read a couple of the novellas I had on my ereader, though I have a acquired a few more. Plus I have two on hold at the library.

3) Write at least one sentence about nature or the built enviroment everyday
So far so good. I was secretly hoping that doing this would inspire me to want to write something longer on these topics and so far that hasn't happened. But its nice to write about this stuff without worrying about other people reading it. When I try to write something people will see I always get so tangled up in not knowing what is common knowledge and what I need to explain.

4) Finish the shirt I'm sewing and cut out another one
I have finished the shirt except for the buttons and button holes. I got some really cute rabbit shaped buttons but now I have to figure out what size to make the button holes and its a pain so I haven't sewn in a few days.

5)Finish School Enrollment Paperwork
I did this! It was epic. I need so many forms and profs of address. Then I had to go in person during business hours. A lawyer friend called the process "unreasonable and burdensome" when I told her about it. However its done now and I don't have to do anything until June.

6) Enjoy the long weekend where R will be at a con and my cousin and her family will be in town visiting
This is starting today. R is heading out for his con this afternoon and getting back Monday. My cousins will be showing up tomorrow. I am looking forwards to seeing them! I expect I'll need to go flop for a bit on Tuesday though.

7) Book flights to WisCon!
No progress on this one. But I still have two weeks so hopefully soon.

Well I feel pretty good about how I am doing with all of these goals. It's nice for me to have these check ins so I can see concretely that I am getting stuff done. Otherwise I just feel like I'm not doing anything with my time. (Of course theirs the other part of my brain that's like you can't post about how much you are getting done that would be boasting. Sometimes my brain is a jerk but I'm working on doing stuff anyways.)

How is your month going so far?
