OK, I did one big part of finishing the will, which is asking my grown niece if she wants to be the backup guardian for “child C.” She agreed.

If you have a Staples, at least here, it’s about .99 a pound to shred things there.

12/18 check in:
1 hour weeknight doordash deliveries = $11.50
150 pages of notebooks scanned and then trashed.
Continuing to make a decent volume of eBay sales but there are a few things I still have to list that seem likely to sell. So far $130. None of this stuff is stuff that is precious or special to me so it feels great to get it out of my apartment.
Today I meal prepped a lot including some creative stuff with the discount near expired produce deal I get from a local vendor. I got all of it prepped except for the radishes, which might be beyond hope but I’ll take a look at tomorrow.

Yes. We have a good cross cut shredder I can use.

No change since last week. I have not made good progress on Psychic Witch since I got to a part that apparently requires concentration.

pull up corner of kitchen floor and level correctly this time
touch up backsplash grout
laundry room—>kitchen floor transition install
sell/curb furniture items I don’t need in shed
cancel platinum card before I start getting charged the fee now
email back wedding planner about florists
schedule meet ups while in town with photographer/DJ/
venue/baker
book flights for friend’s bachelorette party
Done! Don’t think we will be able to meet up with DJ/photographer this trip which is turning out fine. Those vendors really want to meet in person, I’m assuming to read the vibes of us as a couple, but after I hit them up and we couldn’t make scheduling work they were more chill and said it could be a couple days before the wedding even. Phew!
We will get a venue visit which was the main priority, so our moms can be involved and also meet each other since that hasn’t happened yet. Success.

All right, I am officially bad at Saturday updates. However, as a Sunday update I’m checking off what I can and splitting this into two remaining lists, one for what I can do while visiting and one for what’s left for before I leave/when I get back (some of which will almost certainly bleed into next year).
While visiting:
- Replace screen on tablet
- Fix relative’s computer (no idea what’s wrong with it, but that’s nothing new, and at least I’ll be in-person)
- Plan rough budget for 2022
- Review all subscriptions and renew/cancel as appropriate
At home:
- Finish painting that damn green room
- Hang new shelves in bathroom
- Get final layer of stain on cabinet doors
- Finish remaining shelves for bookshelf
- Fix coffee table
- Switch phone companies (possible to do while visiting, but given how tied into travel phones are now I’m not sure I want to risk it)
Done:
Put together new shoe rack for back door
Add more insulation to top of door in from garage
Hang new(ish) art
Un-
kitchen so I can process the last of the stuff in the fridge before I leave
Un- living area since it’s currently been taken over by in-progress staining projects and a broken coffee table
Confirm all presents for relatives I’m visiting at Christmas will fit in suitcase or get them shipped (must happen this week)
Wrap and drop off gifts for nursing home through work program
Figure out where they hid the not-actually-Angel Trees this year and pick 2-3 ornaments
Decide if dishwasher offered by friend 1) fits and 2) is something I actually want (ETA: Nope)
Drop off not-actually-angel tree gifts when last piece arrives

I thought I’d update at the end of the month but everyone is doing check ins so:
Started balcony tidy up, just need to move a few plants around and move water play table up from garage to be considered finished.
Not started wardrobe declutter, that is for the holidays when I’ve got time.
Read two more books. 5 to go, unlikely to get the stretch goal.

Actually I just realized that I have read another book by a BIPOC author—Courtney Milan. So that’s another goal completed! Just one witchy book and one completed knitting project to go.

This is done! Yippee.
Also, I confirmed that buying something via AA shopping portal pushed out the miles expiration to June 2023.

I made the baby’s stocking before Christmas!
I’ve un-picked the other stocking for fixing but haven’t sewn it up yet. I also have 3 buttonholes to do on the final curtain for the gazebo! I know it’s January but I’m very nearly done, and these have been weighing on me for a while

Ok so we’re into January but I’ve only got one left to do - fix a stocking.
