Get it Done December

[Greyweld]

It wasn’t on the LIST though!

[Oro]

Any ones? Like insurance or food or meds? If so, we can badger you about those. But you get a pass on the bullshit of life my dude.

[Rhubarbsoda]

Then put it on the list!

I need this.

I will clear out lingering clutter:

Boxes from the last time I moved
Household hazardous waste
E waste
List the things in garage
Thrift store drop off

Probably can get 2 and 5 done this weekend, maybe also 3.

4 will be targeted for the following two weeks, and 5 1 for the final week.

Nothing more (from this list) done, but I’m going to post the other 5 things right now!!!

I accomplished posting 2nd of 5, but took some pictures and did research for all the rest.

doors - posted last week
storage bench - posted today
fleece - some pictures
flannel - some research
patterns - some research
games - 3 sold at video game store, 20+ to go (low priority)

Contemplating not selling: 4 (or 5?) pairs of pants, 3 pairs of shorts, 1 pair shoes all in very good condition. Punting the decision until after the above items are at least listed.

Also dismantled the dodgy pop up plug in the bath and ordered a new click clack bolt (thank you youtube for showing me how to take it to pieces and what the part was called!)

[meerkat]

[cadence]

@cadence

• big data backup (cloud + phone + external drives)
  • still working on this one.
• server maintenance (Nextcloud upgrade, research doing proper backups)
  • I did the upgrades I had been procrastinating on forever, the rest of the stuff I want to do falls under the first task so I’m considering this done!
• add beneficiaries to 401k account
  • haven’t started yet, I need to figure out how much of a hassle this is going to be. last time I tried to do this it looked like a phone call was the only option, which seems strange.
• finish reading one more book
• pass certification exam (scheduled for the 16th)

I made some progress this week! I left all the difficult tasks for the end of course haha

@LadyDuck

• Sort the kids wardrobe
• Organise the pantry => moved to January
• Pull out our wall art and make a plan for getting it framed/ hung in January NOPE
• Pull out my scrapbooking tools etc and review what should stay or go
• Put up Christmas decorations
• Clean the window I drew Christmas designs on LAST Christmas with Posca markers.
• Finish the irrigation
• Mulch the garden
• Do some sewing or crochet.
• Cancel as many recurring payments for home and business as I can. (2 done)

Turns out December is really busy. I’ve done heaps but not on this list!

New list:

• Whatever’s crossed off already
• Survive Christmas
• Rearrange craft stuff so fabric is accessible for me to do more sewing in January

Not a very fruitful week on these tasks; getting ready for the holiday took precedence. I did take pictures of the pants, in case I decide to list.

At a family members for the weekend, so next week I want to jump back on and at least list the fleece.

• pack for my trip on Tuesday
• sell or give away more stuff-- currently still have a pair of backup slippers, a scarf, two pairs of boots, several new merino base layers that are too big, a sleeping bag, and a phone that should be sold but I have a suspicion that the guy isn’t going to pay-- some items may not be gone by the end of the month if I’m holding out on a higher price but a lot of it should go!
• transfer money to my nieces’ college savings accounts
• schedule gutter cleaning (the company I was planning to use has not responded to an email or a follow-up voicemail)
• write cards and prepare gifts for my chiropractor and massage therapist

Turns out I’m not seeing my chiropractor and massage therapist until 2024, so I may give myself a pass on that. I will do it before I see them, though!

I purged both my closet and Marmalade’s. The phone was relisted and the auction ends tomorrow, so it should be sold, and I disabled the international shipping option this time. I am still trying to sell a few things (one dress that I was initially going to keep but then came to terms with the fact that I dislike the color) but most of it is gone. I am hoping some BN folks take Marmalade’s clothes

[Ms_Terror]

I think I missed a check in? I took some photos as a mid way point, and it’s not looking too bad. I might move another couple of boxes into the store room then need to break down a wardrobe we’d been using for storage and it should be good.

[anomalily]
