What about you? What are you hoping to accomplish in March?
No swearing in text messages?!!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at that one. Sorry.
I hope you meet all of your goals and even more.
I know, I'm terrible with the text message abbreviations, like W*F, but with the regular letter there. ;-) And, others that are similar. I'm a work in progress.
DeleteMy big goal is to do something with the blog-either revamp the existing, or start one just for cooking, kitchen, baking. I feel like I am so deep in work that to do a big house project is just not doable, but some "good enough" revamps are needed. Hopefully I will get back in the office by summer, and we will have an idea of cash flow, and bit the bullet on both the patio and the bathroom that are in my 2021 goals. Good luck with your goals.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the work. I'm hopeful the next few weeks will lighten up! A patio upgrade sounds fabulous.
DeleteLooks good. Didn't you close on your refi last month?
ReplyDeleteWe did, copy & paste error. I'm happy to check it off the list!
DeleteAs ever you are so productive. I would love to lose some weight, but I want to eat sweets all the time. dang!
ReplyDeleteIt's a conundrum I face as well! :-)
DeleteExcellent goals! I was in a horrible rut last year but have pulled myself out this year by doing a new challenge each month. January was back to healthy eating and exercise, I've lost 9 1/2 pounds so far. In February I deep cleaned and decluttered my home. This moth is projects that I kicked off with making lists and setting up a routine. I'm loving your blog, you are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your weight loss! That's awesome progress. You sound like me with the monthly challenges - we are well aligned. I'm very motivated with things like that.
DeleteI wrote about my new list/routine back in January, and it's made a huge difference! https://thehawaiiplan.blogspot.com/2021/01/checklists-templates-getting-more.html
