December 7th:
My list:
Bathroom:
Clean stone tile and grout and reseal
Patch and repaint
Redo tub caulk
Then deep clean bathroom
Kitchen:
12/14 sometime last week I did a half assed version using a new flat mop.
Wash walls
Deep clean inside and outside of cabinets including the dreaded cabinet tops
Work:
12/21: I am on vacation (yay!) so I am refusing to let this stress me out. For some reason, I canāt get into the site on my phone. I need to reset the password and itās supposed to text me and itās just not doing it. I am not using the work computer because I am on vacation!
12/7 Made progress. Watching a session today while cooking. I have about 23 hours worth to go so will be at 22. Update: should be at 19 since I completed 4 hours! This is very motivating!
Finish cpe for PMP
Email:
12/21 I did some more purging and unsubscribing.

decide what Iām doing with the GIC that is ending in January (end of the month)DONE (transferring to self managed tfsa)
craft/art:

finalize and send out guild survey (this weekend)DONE- start sampling washed fleece
- pick a quilt pattern
*finish knitting āfancyā sweater to wear for family xmas dinner (Dec 12)DONE just needs blocking - maybe sew wool jersey dress, also for xmas dinner (Dec 15)
house stuff:

- Taking the laundry room refresh off the list because apparently Iām doing a hallway refresh (i need to replace a light fixture, so now Iām painting and getting new storage and changing closet doors, obviously)
pick a paint colour for laundry room
paint laundry room? (highly unlikely to happen this month but I can dream or at least start)
- change closet doors (Dec 8)
- paint hall (Dec 14)
- pick up storage unit from ikea (Dec 9)
go test mattresses and maybe buy a new mattress (this weekend, assuming everything is still on sale)NOPE, bought a toaster oven instead, this will happen sometime next year

edited to add challenges and victories - biggest challenge is going to be those emails for quotes on things. I know itās the responsible way to do things so I can budget for the costs, but my brain very much just goes "i want the thing done, iāll deal with the price laterā once I decide to do something.
victories - making a plan for the hallway refresh that doesnāt include paying for new closet doors! I think I can do it all for less than $500. and deciding what to do with that GIC, itās been bugging me all year.
