It's the start of May! The second day even. Generally I try to set out my goals for the month here on the first of the month, but yesterday I spent all day helping my mom. So I'm getting to my goals a day late.
Starting off as always but looking back at my goals for the month before:
1) Write fic on 20 days
Completed! I count a day as writing day if I write at least three sentences. So I didn't write a huge number of words, but I made slow progress. I even finished a draft of something for the first time this year. I'm planning to post it latter this week!
2) Sew two pairs of shorts for the kid
Technically I finished the second pair of shorts on May 1, but I'm counting this as win anyways.

3) Do lesson 10 and the lesson 6-10 review in A New Practical Primer of Literary Chinese by Paul Router. Stretch goal: Also do lesson 11.
Not quite finished. I did lesson 10, and a fair bit of the review, but got slowed down but the last section of the review where I have to translate form English to classical Chinese, and I have been having trouble with it. It doesn't help that my wrist has been hurting and slowing me down with writing tasks.
4) Spring Break
This was a success. I talked a bit more about this at the mid month check in post
5) Passover
My seder went very well! I had a pretty easy time not eating bread, ect for a week this year. Also I made so much mazto brei!
Here are my new goals for May:
1) Write fic on 20 days
This has been working well for me so I'm going keep it as goal for another month
2) Finish the improv rainbow quilt
I've been working on this on and off for a while now, so I have the red, orange, yellow and green stripes complete. So I just have to sew the blue and purple parts and put everything together.
3) Figure out what's next in Classical Chinese
Since I'm almost at the end of the 1st unit of A New Practical Primer of Literary Chinese by Paul Router, I've deiced to take a break from that for a bit. I need to think about how to deal with the massive amount of vocabulary needed.
4) Family Trip to Santa Cruz
The kid has long weekend coming up, an we have plans to go stay in Santa Cruz!
5) Wiscon
I keep waffling about going in person, but I have committed to taking part in two online panels, so even if I don't physically go I'll be doing online con things.
6) Take better care of my wrist
I have tendentious in my right wrist that's been ongoing for months. Given how my wrist has been interfering with all the things I want to do recently I wanted to acknowledge at least to myself how much time and energy this taking.
I hope you all have great month of May!
