neadodsTHIS WEEK
-- I'm not even pretending to add counting points on top all the balls I'm juggling up in the air. Weight reflects that.
By the way, Doug still needs help dealing with David's expenses; every little bit helps. It's $5000 just to bury his brother.
Adding to my stress, the company that was so good about painting my house two years ago flaked repeatedly on even getting me an estimate on painting the garage to match. So I need to research more companies and make more appointments, because that's an aggravation I wanted.
ACCOMPLISHED:
Went to PA last 3 Sundays to helploot clear out David's apartment.
HEALTH:
Walked: 0 miles. BUT David's apartment was a 3rd floor walkup, so I've gone up and down a lot of stairs while carrying weights. That's gotta count.
Flexibility: stretch 3x a day at work. Signed up for February's yoga classes. (Also? I can touch my toes now. That was not true 3 weeks ago.)
Strength: 0
Weight: 241
Other Health:
OUTSIDE WORK NEEDED
-- garage fix (non-negotiable even with England)
-- -- fix door
-- -- repaint: trying to get an estimate
-- -- regutter
-- pave side of porch (desired, will take 2nd place to England if necessary)
CHRISTMAS WISHES/CRAFT PROJECTS:
-- Have ability to hold 6-person dinner party in library
-- Make "experiences gallery" of photos and badges from events
-- Make collage of poppy installation photos
-- Make Holmesian Lanyard & nametag for events that don't have permanent tags
-- Make Holmesian and Austenite bangle bracelets
-- Schedule regular structured "adult days" to focus on paperwork, mending, etc.
-- 2 full sets garb & accessories for Kitchen Guild (under reconsideration, England)
-- collect and keep ready 3 days emergency blackout supplies
-- Organize Christmas materials (lists, decorations, etc)
-- Clear bedroom
-- run at least 3 5K fun runs by fall (Dead Man's Run, Gobble Wobble, Ugly Christmas Sweater run)
-- make shadow box with Salk vaccine (David's apartment had a lot of shadow boxes and frames, some of them brand new. Why keep something as topical and rare as the signed polio vax in a box in the basement when I can display it in the living room?)
OTHER:
I'm the new Gasogene of Watson's Tin Box, first meeting at the end of the month.
LEARNED THIS YEAR:
- purl through back loop
SELF CARE/PLEASURE:
- riiiiiiiiiiiiight. I did see Baskerville last week, though.
READING:
Fanfic
The Montague Street Doctor (longfic combining BAMF!John while Sherlock is "dead" & The Empty House)
Print
-- Deadly Choices
-- The Panic Virus (what can I say, I've got vaccines on the mind.)
Audiobooks
-- The Silkworm, G.M. Malliet
-- Big Finish: The Rani Elite
-- Big Finish: The Avengers Lost Episodes, Volume 2
Plans for today: update/make all the meeting announcements for Tin Box, try to fit what I took from David's into my place. Over on Facebook, I'm putting up photos of teddy bears trying to figure out which will become a John Bear. This house desperately needs to be cleaned, but I have 0 energy.
