Okay my tasks
New Job
Content
Thinking about it more, I am going to avoid “do major moving related things” on this thread. I mean, I’m not going to avoid DOING them, or at least making progress toward them. But I feel like tracking other little annoying tasks here:
Sigh. I posted this in the wrong area. Attempt 2.
Safe play area for baby achieved!
Next up is finishing gazebo curtains.
Ok this is going to be a fun one. I’m emergency searching for a new job to start immediately in 2022 so I can leave current job. I am GOING to get this sticker.
Hdu steal my real-life experiences as fodder for your emoji story! 
Goals for December:
I… maybe don’t got this? We’ll see
I was going to try and finish off some Bingo squares.
But now I think thats too hard, so I dont know what to do, but this is my list for now
Okay, I keep meaning to get back to this and either getting sidetracked or just falling asleep while catching up on other threads, but since it’s now Dec. 4 for me I’m both adding the list and updating it (the update part being currently uninspiring, but whatever).
Sometime this month:
Soon:
ETA: Accidentally posted while not quite finished and formatted weirdly, so fixing that
It’s not too late to join, right?! I want to finish my still-doable bingo goals…
I have collected all of the materials and equipment needed to do these next week.
Weekend update
Put out the items on the curb and they were GONE IN 30 MINUTES. I was in the backyard and didn’t hear one peep! Incredible. When I first moved I did a Big clean out of this house into a dumpster in the driveway, the next day any scrap metal in it was picked clean and I also didn’t hear a peep. Some sort of magical scavenger fairies…
Update one!
First, the ‘before’ photo.
This room currently contains our own two GPs, plus a pair of fosters. We almost always have a foster pair, our shortest turnaround was when one pair left at 2pm and the next pair arrived at 4:30 that evening.
All the children’s books are on the shelves in the closet, and both Kid1 and I use it as an office for evening zoom meetings (Scouts, Cadets, etc).
Wednesday I went to start purging and was quickly followed by Kid1. After booting him out many times (it’s not a big room, no one else was home and he just wanted to be where I was) I gave up and got the couch and background clean enough for his zoom cadet meeting. Thursday was a repeat of Wednesday. Friday, I had a day off and he did not so I was able to make progress and purge the extra GP gear. Because we take in fosters they often get surrendered with all their gear, so I have purged extra and broken water bottles, food dishes, etc.
Tidied the books on the shelf, but didn’t really sort or purge. Then the kids cleaned their rooms and re-stuffed the shelves with the extra books that were stashed in their rooms.
Didn’t have time to get into the second closet yet.
To break down the full list, rather than ‘clean GP room’
1st update 12/4
Cancelled subscriptions = +31.17/mo
Spotify, Hulu, and Prime cancelled or paused. $13.77 refund pending. The only thing I pay for is $1.99/mo for Google storage.
Rescheduled a haircut this month to February to put off the $50 expense.
Switched to save $100 on renter’s insurance in 2022.
Finally resolved a medical claim from last annual physical down to $0 from $144 after a few calls between the insurance and the doctor’s office.
Photos and shipping weights for 40 items I’m planning to sell (mostly media stuff). I still have more!
Listed all the sewing pattern collection and books on eBay.
Going across the city tonight and I’ll bike not bus.
Visiting another neighborhood tomorrow and again I’ll try to bike not bus.
I am removing “hang quilt” from my list, since I looked at the package again and it says to purchase drywall screws separately. We don’t have drywall screws and I don’t want to try to buy them. Maybe it will happen next year.
Updating since I actually got a few things done today–
This is done! Will take it to Best Buy this weekend.
Making some good progress here 
I was trying to figure out actual words to describe my December goals. I think “endure,” and “don’t kill yourself” really sums it up.
I don’t gotta do shit well. All I gotta do is show up, try, and not die.
Forgot to go back and update my goals for the month:
Finished my MFing god damn shitty final paper!
DONE. Called today as I discovered last week that online scheduling is broken. I couldn’t get in until mid-January!
