I did nothing related to cleaning and organizing this week because I was barely home. I knew that in advance about the end of the month but obviously it didnāt sink in!

This is messy, but Iāll practice formatting next time Iām in a challenge.
:ballot_box_with_check:1. * Get all clothes moved out of storage RV
Iāve made a lot of progress. I may not get all of them out by the end of the month but Iāll have most of them.
Brought more back, and actually looked at what is left. This is gonna get done, but next month
:ballot_box_with_check:2. * Sort out all of the obvious ones to donate/trash
I have a couple of bags of stuff to take to donation tomorrow. Iāll be getting rid of most of the things that are left in the storage RV.
Took donations, and brought some more back. Maybe today Iāll sort donations again, but the rest will get done in January.
:white_check_mark:3. * Decide if Iām hanging on to the summer donate to give the homeless outreach when they need them
I put the summer tops I know Iām getting rid of in the top of the summer duffle to get rid of when Iām unpacking it next spring.
:white_check_mark:4. * Pack out of season clothes into the three duffles.
Just need to put the last one in my storage unit out of the storage RV
:white_check_mark:5. * What doesnāt fit into them goes away. Except my hand knit sweaters
Ongoing, but is happening.
:white_check_mark:6. * Bring all the consumables (2 householdās worth of pandemic hoarding) to this RV
I have pretty much all of them, as in all I have seen so far, moved here. Finding room and/or tossing is ongoing.
Did some digging when I went back, and Momās old spices are still there. Those will be trashed.
.
7. * Find room
Ongoing.
:ballot_box_with_check:8. * Clear out outside bins on current RV to make room
Ongoing. Waiting for warmer weather, maybe next week (I live in Phoenix Metro)
:white_check_mark:9. * Sort clothes currently in this RV and find a storage solution different that piles next to the bed.
Itās working. Not pretty, but clothes are sorted into containers.

* Bleach tea cups and cutting boards
-
start weight workout program (besides my classes) I have been meaning to do this for a while and havenāt gotten to it
- get started and maybe finish painting the kitchen/family room like I have been talking/thinking about since spring
-
get back to using my treadmill consistently
-
clean up and organize all my vacation pics from this year that I keep not doing!!
- seriously pick out bathroom Reno items - tile, tub, vanity
Doing my final check in.
Things I didnāt get done -
I didnāt start any painting projects. Thatās is ok! It can be a January task to keep busy, especially Monday when I have nothing really planned.
Bathroom stuff- technically does get a check mark because I started by going to look at tile, and SO created a 3D diagram of the bathroom. But I am starting to look at things more seriously, and that was the kick I needed to get going.
Start work out.program - I picked up the workout plan, just not started. But thatās still a start in the right direction. Itās not like I havenāt done any workouts because I did teach a lot this month.
I have been using my treadmill for the last 2 days.
Iām happy with my success this month. I had a lot going on and was able to get items tackled from the list. And realistically the list never really ends, itās always something else to do or think about.

I feel like this was a success even though there a couplemore things to get done this week (which kinda still feels like December as I took an extra week off work). Made some good progress in the garage of chaos and crossed a few things of my to-do list from the very start of 2022. Thanks Get it Done December!

Hey, look who wrote the rest of the new course* so she wouldnāt have to report a failure! And itās going to make the next few weeks so much better.
*The overall plan, the calendar, the syllabus, the assignments. Not the tests.

Mostly successful on these tasks. I completely forgot about Hometown Friend (sorry, Hometown Friend!) and now my phone service is acting up so I actually canāt call anyone.
Iāll count retirement account info as a win - I still canāt access the website (they make you receive a code through snail mail to set up an account) but I have requested the code.

final update:
got the data off my work computer
Snagged and completed a proofreading assignment (one not two, but Iām still counting it as a win).
reimbursement documentation done & sent
CareFriendās taxes are filed, plus I had a really helpful conversation with the accountant so I understand stuff which is super satisfying
the roof and chimney are done and paid for, but Iām getting leakage where the chimney flashing maybe wasnāt done right, so sadly this done isnāt actually done
Dadās laptop, CareFriendās Will, and the Box Oā Receipts are still haunting me, but the first two are slated for this week. Canāt find the courage to actually pitch the receipts, though I didnāt get anything additional into the spreadsheet. 
For now I am going to try to do well at expense tracking in the new year and maybe that will convince me to let go of the old. We shall see. Maybe Iāll start a post just for accountability/ positive vibes on expense tracking
