Merry Monday - Too Much

[caption id="attachment_4711" align="alignleft" width="300"]merry_monday Image created using Bit Strips.[/caption]

Hey there readers. Just dropping in to say hi. I'm feeling like I've got too much for a human to get done. Hoping I'll get my head above water soon. Here's the to-do list:

  • Bring guitar in for service. It's free in the first year. The first year runs out this week.

  • Play guitar/piano a little every day.

  • Get sewing area set up. It's a mess.

  • Make things in said sewing area. (Aiming for June)

  • Etsy site for sewn goods. (Aiming for end of summer) Already have Facebook and website for this venture.

  • 30-Day script challenge. Writing my first movie script. Don't really know what I'm doing, but the challenge is set up like a course, so I'm learning as I go.

  • Reading a book. It's taking a long time.

  • 365 Tao - read one a day and think about its message. Today's was about how life is rarely balanced and if it is you aren't growing. Upheaval and chaos mean growth and there will always be a period of healing after a time of pain or suffering.

  • Iaido - Doing a demonstration this week at the Japanese Embassy. It's Saturday at 2PM for anyone who wants to see me swing my sword about.

  • Newsletter - I meant to get it out this month...

  • Editing - Short story needs to be edited.

  • Jodo - Apparently I'm trying to grade for ikkyu level next month...

  • Dating - I'm enjoying spending time with someone when we both have time to spend together. At least we're both equally busy?

  • Walking/Yoga/Dancing/Karate - Trying to be healthier and trying to get my skill back.

  • Cleaning the house - I'd like to have a couple of people over at some point.

  • Kitchen - Repairing my drawers.

  • Writing - Trying to meet daily word goals, but it hasn't been happening with everything else.

  • Film Study - Trying to read and watch movies to learn things about writing scripts.

  • Videogames - Play to relax because it really reduces my stress levels.

  • Food - Eat better.


Yeah, I have a lot going on. No, I don't see it letting up anytime soon. I'm making progress on about 70% of my goals most days. My bullet journal is helping. I didn't get much done today though. I was too exhausted from yesterday to get up at a proper time. Tomorrow is a new day though.

Eeek! Must put outside the house clothes on and get to a workshop I signed up for because it was free and given by someone cool.

Salut,
R~

2024 - Week 5

It was still January for most of this week, a.k.a. The Neverending Month. Then it became February!  Each month, I do pull a card from my Music Oracles deck. Last month was Bob Marley. February's card is Nina Simone. A piano playing rebel & multiple genre legend will hopefully make for a phenomenal month ahead. I still haven't done a goals post for 2024. January was a lot. My goals for this year are: - Complete Sparker  and query agents. - Complete The Curse of...  and submit it to a screenplay contest. - Complete the declutter of Tiny Condo. - Blog at least once per week. - Cross train for curling and softball. - Learn piano. - Self-care with crafts, reading, gaming, and sports. I've tweaked my schedule to make this happen. I'd also like a partner, but I feel weird about setting it as a goal.

2024 - Week 43

Arts & Crafts  I started a summer quilt. I got the fabric a long time ago and it was a straightforward quilt as I just had to join the 20 fat quarters together. I'll need a backing fabric and a border to complete it, but I figured it's worth doing while the weather continues to be summery. I'm thinking a white backing and pink for the border. I've made progress on my Fairy Cross-Stitch, but there is a lot to go yet.  Decluttering & Minimalism I started the week by working on the space to sand my shelf. I didn't get through it all on Monday with work and everything else that day, but it was closer than it was before. Tuesday was curling, so I couldn't the shelf done then. I was really tired on Wednesday because I'm not used to curling being so late yet. Thursday was the last day of softball. It was Friday before I could really work on the shelf, though I kept working on the workspace. The packed weekend left me no time to do this, but I realistically ...

ROW80 2020 R4 - GOALS

I've gotten zero writing done recently, however, I had other pressing things.  HOME As my new bed frame was due for arrival last Friday (more on this later), I hauled ass and purged a bunch more stuff from my home. I brought a full carload to donation and started loading up again. I also dealt with my old mattress, which I'm repurposing for a couch. Now, I didn't fully complete it as I haven't figured out all the pieces, but I did get it cut up appropriately and moved out of my bedroom. I'm currently sewing it back together. As for my bedroom, I was able to do a major declutter and access areas I haven't been able to in months. But that area now has bathroom stuff in it. There is more to do, but I'm really happy with my progress of late. I've cut myself numerous times on the couch project including my heel finding a tiny piece of glass, my palm finding a wayward staple, my knuckle finding who knows what, my one thumb having a run in with a box cutter, an...
