At the beginning of the year I thought that the middle row would be the hardest to complete as I have been putting those jobs off for ages, but the pandemic kinda helped me with those.
The pandemic will probably stop me doing some things, such as
Making progress! May need to redo some goals later in the year, but haven’t changed anything so far. Since my last update I’ve memorized Howie’s phone number and took a walk in the neighborhood woods. There are some that I could technically cross off but they don’t FEEL done, so I’m not crossing them off yet (like I tried a minor, easy new recipe or did something small that was nice).
Ummm I would love one of the hand bound journals from @CalBal but I suspect being in moving mode will impede that and I will choose something else if needed.
@Greyweld if you are willing to wait like a month I would be happy to!!! All my supplies are in a U-Box somewhere in the middle of the country right now. Also, hooray!
I finished Puglet’s blanket lest night. He seems to like it
I’ve got crow pose up to 40 seconds
Half marthon was cancelled but hoping to sign up and be able to run one in September.
On the look out for a bike trailer for puglet and then we can take him on a nice bike ride on the minuteman trail since the weather is starting to get nice.

Here’s my updated card. I’ve made progress on a lot of the items but I’m not sure how to quantify it all so I’m just waiting until I have them finished to mark them off. And I guess I have created a filing system, but I still have plenty of filing to do, so I’m not counting it yet.
And uh… hopefully it’s OK that I refilled my emergency fund, and then promptly (within a couple of months) had to use it again. Technically I did refill it, it’s just not full anymore!
End of month checkin, although not too interesting…I replaced one of my not-likely-to-happen-given-covid items with something I started working on when stay-at-home started (working through Great Courses series since my library has a large number available) but haven’t figured out the second one or finished anything new although a few new things are in progress:
Hiiiiiiiiii I’m coming to crash the party, after realizing from yesterday’s livestream that it’s not too late to join! Some concrete tasks to focus anxiety about everything I think would be helpful. Also, um, my stash of OMD cat stickers is getting low, so…
A few notes:
-Read 75 books: I’m at 24/75, with 3 in progress.
-Yes I am not great at calling people I care about (E is a dear friend who lives across the country from me)
-Finish editing 1 book: this is finishing editing part of a Latin text for web publication for a previous employer. Um let’s hope I haven’t forgotten everything…
I think I’ve got a decent spread of longer-term and one-off easy items? We’ll find out woooooo
