ok, here is my list:

• Do 2023 taxes
• Swap all of the almond outlets & Light switches on the main floor to white

Stretch goal:

• ‘finish’ J2’s room (he needs something figured out for his closet, and a way to display his legos, and a clothes bar installed)

2023 Taxes - haven’t even started. However, did do Chuck’s 2022 and 2023 taxes?

Outlets - completed the last two GFCIs which are the hardest. Just completed all of the outlets in J2s room

J2s room - This morning we all had a conference in J2s room, and decided what was going to happen with it.

We then installed a shelf for his Lego, and a clothing bar, and got his clothes out of the broom closet where they have been hung since last May.

He then puttered about and hung up all his art etc.

Declaring his room Done!

Edit - turned on the breaker and - no power. Now to troubleshoot

Second edit: kid doesn’t need power, right?

listed & either sold or donated if they don’t sell.

• Box1 of patterns
• Box2 of patterns
• Fabric
• Patio item: table, storage box, chairs
• Surplus knee scooter

We are supposed to check in each week? OOOOPS!

Well, week 1 was no direct progress, so no harm not foul, I guess.

Week 2: Cleaned photos out of phone to make room for new photos of the listing. Today is rainy & gross outside, so good day for photo taking.

More to be added but wanted to start my list.

1. Complete edit of audit mileage logs and submit all the paper work again to the CRA.
2. Clean up/edit passwords and pw manager
3. Get rid of some unwanted freezer items and return containers to their owner. DONE
4. Take items to donation centre.

A few more things to be added when I get back to my moms and deal with some stuff there.

One thing off the list!

Today I loaded up the donation stuff in the car to be dropped off tomorrow on my big errand day. It took 2 minutes because it was sitting in the garage. Isn’t that always the case and why we do this challenge? I also loaded up bottles to be returned.

In! We legally changed our names and I am handling the 800 million bank account updates, etc. I would love to have all of those at least submitted by the end of the year.

Making progress! We were out of town the first week of December, but this week we went to the DMV and I updated my Costco card. We also met with a potential estate attorney, which is another item to get done.

@a_hardie

• make progress in garage: clear a substantial amount of floor space (sub-goals: get rid of bed frame, take load of stuff to dump, clear out sunflowers, move rugs/large cloth items on treadmill, take cans to bottle drop, take out glass recycling )
• submission spree (submit to 4 more journals)
• get a will written even if it’s DIY
• finish reading at least one more book (my goal was 20 for the year; I think I’m at 14 or 15 so I’m not making that)
• call internet service provider and ask why our bill is higher/ask for lower rate again <–no luck on that; they said we are already paying the cheapest possible
• resolve 2022 tax problem YAY
• clear out email inbox <–WIP; I have been deleting things but then new crap keeps coming in. Need to sit down for an hour and be merciless.

I have not actually made much progress on any of these things! I also have one to add: locate and eliminate the source of the stench coming from the fridge. I have thrown out old food a bunch of times and still it remains. God help me.

Didn’t finish as much as last week, but still put in some good work digging up rocks and landscape fabric. Cumulative totals below - removing one item and adding more, lol.
