I filled in a few squares, and made progress on some. But I am feeling very behind, and will need to do a do-over because I am staring a new job next week and my leave balance will go down to zero, so no holiday to Christmas Island :frowning: But I will review later in the year.

Bingo Update:

And technically someone (if you combine me, the neighbor who cat-sat for me while I was out of town, and the squirrel on the TC complaints thread) has hit the 6 edible things threshold from my garden as well, but I’m holding out until I’ve hit 6 items myself.

I was a fool to put four pull-ups on here— but I’ve technically finished the EarthSea books! I just have the short stories to go, and I’m waiting to finish them before I mark the box.

I struggle so hard with posting the bingo card. Slash I’m lazy.

BUT:
I’m at 20 of my 25 book goal.
My grandma died a couple days ago, and I didn’t do the phone calls cuz she was totally deaf shortly after the new year, but I did have one call and see her in person twice so I’ll count it.
I did go back to the RE
I am at more than 350 foods tried by latte (100 additional ones, done)
Passed 400 hours outside. Won’t hit the full 1000, but 500 was my realistic goal so we should hit that one easily.

  • got covid vaccine (in…March? I think? what is time)
  • cook 40 new recipes
  • read a book in French
  • read 11 books (but yeahhhhh I’m way behind on this goal lol)

Getting close to a few BINGOs but wow I need to set some more low-hanging fruit ones for next year :sweat_smile:

Maybe I don’t understand your coloring system but it looks to me like you have a BINGO along the diagonal. What am I missing?

Realized that I hit bingo and registered for sticker and never actually posted it.


Still want to try to close out some/most of the other square by the end of the year, but at least some progress is happening.

There’s a 2020 sticker, if you didn’t get one and you did a 2020 challenge, let me know on the form and I’ll mail you a 2020 sticker!

Yeah, I saw that once I went into the form, I ticked the box :slight_smile: thank you!

So a few weeks ago I was hanging out with a friend and she says, “Look! There’s a snake over there!”
And I said, “Huh? I don’t see it.”
She pointed, I went and looked, and sure enough, it was a snake.
Something similar happened a few days later and she insisted it was past time to get my eyes checked.
So I went, and that completed a Bingo for me.
And I love my new glasses.
And I know I’ll love the sticker.

I made a bingo card. Here:https://bingobaker.com/#5d0e4b6a664771c6

We’ll see if I can get even 5 of these done before 12/31/21! *I did! 12/5/21 But it’s not BINGO, alas. :cry: *

I hope I did this right, so it saves it? If not, my goals are:

Catch up biz finances (tracking) Has to happen before I can pay the consigners
Pay consigners (final) First one done. More to do!
Close storage. I have to consolidate the keeps, send books to auction, ✓sell books to the dealer, ✓donate books, before this will happen.
Consolidate “keeps”
Send books to auction
✓Donate books
✓Donate housewares
No boxes in LR
No boxes in Kitchen
✓ 12/3/21Filing cabinet swap This has to happen before I can fill the new cabinet.
New filing cabinet filled
✓Sell book dealer books 10/15
Figure out sewing machine (has to happen before I can make the sheet)
Make new sheet
Start baking bread
Buy balm supplies I bought the calendula I need. I think I have enough of everything else?
Make balm Obviously, I need the supplies first.
Make waxed food wrap (✓Have the supplies/instructions, just need the round tuit.)
Find and/or buy Brodarts
Use Brodarts
Clean office counter. (has to happen before I can make the sheet)
Clean rest of officeI have to clean enough of the office first to get the old filing cabinet out and the new one in. My office was cleaned to the walls earlier this year because we changed some things with the electricity, Then it was kept tidy, for a while. Then it became the place where all the unfinished house project materials are stored. It’s a disaster!
Put clothes away
Cull excess clothes

I edited this because a lot of what’s here are steps I have to take. This has to happen before that goal can be reached sort of things. When I did this, I put the original goal (as it is on the card) in bold.

What’s not here I just realized? Sell the rest of the books… That has to happen as well before I’ll be able to close the storage, have no boxes in the living room, etc.

Also, what’s not here? ✓Empty the old filing cabinet. ✓Old cabinet is out of my office.

Also: return merchandise to the consigners as I find them.
