I am so behind on my list I haven’t made the badges yet for week 3

[PinkTutu]

Getting there…

• Up to page 225/403 in “The Alden Amos Big Book of Handspinning”.

• Finished watching up to lecture 13/24 of “How to Look at & Understand Great Art”.

Distracted by texting and company.

I’ll try to get one tomorrow!

@LadyElizabeth

• Finish knitting Christmas sweater for the Christmas lunch at work (dec 24th)
• Clean Fridge
• Clean oven
• Declutter and clean nightstand
• Call superintendent for broken pantry door and the other thing
• Call internet company to see if I can change my plan
• Survive the end of the fall semester at Uni!

The sweater is almost done! I am at the ribbing of the second sleeve. Tomorrow morning it should be done! I will also attempt to attack the nightstand, the other stuff will be after Christmas

Well I have made no more progress this week on my list. Done some rearranging of stuff in the garage to fit my ebike but nothing has left the garage yet so cant give it a tick yet…

[PinkTutu]

I’m on page 225/403 in “The Alden Amos Big Book of Handspinning”.

I started going through my music on my old MacBook Pro, deleting duplicate music. I’m up to “I” in the artist names. Seems the only music that was duplicated was my classical music. But I’ll have to scroll through the entire music library to make sure.

That’s it for my “Get It Done December” list today.

[regular_things]

here it is! It’s the cumulus sweater by Petite Knit

[PinkTutu]

On page 263/403 of “The Alden Amos Big Book of Handspinning”. Honestly, at this point I’m skipping all the math that doesn’t pertain to me.

I watched two lectures of “How to Look at & Understand Great Art”. I’m on lecture 16/24 now. Should easily finish by the end of the year.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. Take care out there!

[PinkTutu]

Argh! I double checked the Great Course, “How to Look at & Understand Great Art”, and it has 36 lectures! Not 24! I will not finish by Dec. 31st. I’m on lecture 20. At 2/day that’s another 8 days! I must admit, though, there’s a lot of stuff I already know in these lectures. I’m speeding them up to 1.25x speed. Each lecture is roughly half an hour long at normal speed. Hmmm…we have 6 days left in December . Three per day would do it! I’ll try and see how it goes.

I started recording entries in my business books today. I’m about 1/3 done I figure. But my right shoulder was getting sore from a bad seating position, so I quit and went for a walk.

I read more of my book on handspinning.

I deleted a bunch of duplicate music files from my MacBook Pro.

Progress as of 12/26: here’s what remains…

@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 ) <–Minor miracle, my husband put in some hours on the garage the other day. He removed the sunflowers (long story) and created a discard pile. I have also set up a pickup for the bed frame.
• submission spree (submit to 4 more journals) <–still not started
• get a will written even if it’s DIY <–mostly done; need to finish
• 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) <–started Tranquility By Tuesday

Because I’m ambitious, I’m adding one goal: do a toy rotation. Toddler got some fresh presents and we don’t have room for all those plus her old stuff. I’ll rotate out the stuff she doesn’t play with as much.

Early update…

• go through MacBook Pro and delete duplicate photos. - Not started.
• Transfer old photos to iCloud (right now it isn’t synced to iCloud, to prevent duplication of photos and music there). started going through music and stalled. I think I have deleted all the duplicates, but want to double check.
• sort through all my old user IDs and passwords. Figure out what’s good and what isn’t. Close all accounts I’m no longer using…if possible. - I finished the password booklets. Currently working through my password app. I finished the “A’s”. Only 450 more to check out!
• watch the courses I’ve downloaded in the past. Great Courses. - Finished watching “Celtic World”. On lecture 25/36 of “How to Look at & Understand Great Art”. Hoping to finish it by December 31st.
• write blog posts for my Ko-fi site. Done!
• finish reading “The Alden Amos Big Book of Handspinning”! It truly is a big book! Done!
• enjoy Christmas! Done!

I’ve been majorly sidetracked yesterday and today by the need to update my business books before the end of the year. Will try to get back to this list soon.

@Candygirl

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. 75% Done - need to do mileage calculations and then submit, but the worst part of updating the log is DONE. I almost want to cry but I swore it would get completed by Dec 31st.
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. DONE

Number 1 - 75% which is the worst part.

Edit it is DONE and submitted. So painful but glad it is sent.

@rural

• Finish book chapter that’s due January 15th so I have time to actually edit that fucker DONE! now to edit …
• Finish poster presentation for conference January 9th DONE and printed!
• Prep either three or four classes, depending on whether that one class makes or not - STARTED- It’s officially four completely different classes. So far I’ve made a good start on two of them.
• Go make cookies with my mom one day since her family Christmas isn’t going to happen this year DONE
• Help young friend go do name change paperwork before the new regime sets in - OFFICIALLY POSTPONED by young friend.

So there are two more days in December. I won’t finish prepping the classes, never figured I’d get them completely done before january. But I’ll either get more done on them, editing on the article, or write up an abstract for a presentation at my institution that I’m planning to do. Probably a little of all three over the next couple of days.

Almost-last post (will have one day left after traveling back from family visit so will probably have one more post):

@kenner

• Re-do freezer inventory

• Figure out New Years plans

• Gifts for sibling’s family shipped
• Gifts for parent packed or shipped
• Check local rescue for what cat supplies they can use (food, litter, possibly unused toys/scratchers?) and do drop off
• Clean up cat stuff around house: Will push into next year
• Check on pool closure plans, if none get year pass otherwise do math: Will push into next year (won’t open again until after first of year)
• Go through packing list for next trip, confirm have everything or check sales (post-Christmas, so stretch): Will push into next year

• Start next batch of vanilla: Want to do, have all supplies, fingers crossed for the 31st
• Start batch of limoncello: Same as above
• Figure out what I’m doing for Snacktuary

So hopefully three things to finish when I get home, and three things that push into next year.

There is no way I’m going to finish my list by Dec. 31st! But it has pointed me towards getting other things done and preparing for next year. I’ve created a 2025 goals list 2 1/2 pages long! Plus I am taking part in the 2025 BINGO challenge here on OMD. It’s going to be a year of finishing things…I hope!

Ok thank you to this thread - I have childcare on 12/31 but have the day off. I was going to tell my nanny we didn’t need her OR give her a half day so I could go watch a movie in the theater by myself, but I will work on name change stuff instead (nanny has more PTO + days off than I do so I promise I am a reasonable employer). I joined the walking pneumonia club so I’ve been in survival mode but am better now and WILL persevere.

[Star]

hm, no more progress.

I should swap out the hall outlet today after work. I think it’s the last one in ‘public’ spaces.

Was planning to do a bunch yesterday but then was hit with vertigo so was a lump instead.

My biggest challenge with swapping the outlets is that I don’t want to flip breakers during work hours and accidentally turn off either the modem or computer, and after work it gets dark pretty quick.

Edit: I managed to start and enter all of the 2023 Income Tax data, except the rentals data which is info I will need form Prosp. He is out right now, but maybe, maybe? We can file tonight.

• Write wedding script for friend
• Apply for short term disability for January

Apparently the chickadee’s birth should have been covered by my insurance, but they rejected it, so this is actually going to be much more complex than “submit bills” - joy oh joy!!!
