Goals?

Apparently, some parts of Lincoln have lost power. I haven't thus far. The roads are a mess. It looks like there's ice on my car.

I'm mulling over goals for the coming year, although I won't do serious planning until I get my planning books.

  1. Learn and grow in my new job. Of course.
  2. Save money for a move/emergency fund. I need to figure out how much I can sock away each month.
  3. Create a budget.
  4. Start learning Italian again with a new teacher.
  5. Exercise.
  6. Do I want to lose weight?
  7. Declutter and hire a cleaning service for every other week.
  8. Classes.

I'm wondering if I could squeeze in a trip to Oregon to see Eugene and Salem in the fall. I guess that it all hinges on the vaccination schedules. Airfares are pricey right now.

I installed TrueBill, and I'm going through and cancelling subscriptions. A good way to start the year.

The power just went out and turned back on. Yikes.

My stomach is upset, so I'm lying down. Mimi is taking shameless advantage of my proximity.

While lying in bed, I brought a refurbished cassette-CD boombox and some Nightingale-Conant programs on CD.

I ordered How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind and The Four Tendencies (how you react to expectations--I'm a rebel who resists both internal and external expectations). I also joined the Habit Share app, but I don't have anyone to share progress with.

I'm yawning, so I want to roll with it and go to sleep early. I'll have to get up early next week.

Seattle is still the cheapest trip that I could take.

Printed off a bunch of printables from my Cluttered Mess to Organized Success book. I'm going to do some goal setting tomorrow. It also had some editable labels for things that look really nice. I'll use them instead of the label maker in the kitchen. I'll use the label maker for smaller stuff like files.

Woke up at 9 AM. Decided that was too early to get up and went back to sleep. Woke up at 11:30.

Did some dishes that had been soaking from last night's dinner. Threw laundry in the dryer. (I don't want to put up the drying rack until after I clean the kitchen.)

Wrote up a to-do list.

Cut out the new labels and placed them in the kitchen. They look good. Put my hats, scarves, gloves, and umbrellas in the cubes. My black scarf is missing, but I'm sure that it'll turn up.

Tried napping, but couldn't fall asleep. Good.

Rebel rebel: I have a long to-do list, so I started organizing my pantry shelves, which wasn't on the list. It's helping me see what I've got, however.

Have the shakes, so it's lunchtime. Ate.

I want to work on the kitchen, but Zara's lying on my lap.

Operation Coatrack is complete. It looks good. I want to throw out the box that the coat rack came in, but there's some crinkly paper in it that Mimi likes.

I saw an ad on Facebook for an efficiency webinar based on Getting Things Done™. I watched part of it, although I was aware of the irony of not getting things done because I was watching a webinar about Getting Things Done™. It was worthwhile. I was looking for a way to make context-based to-do lists (Home, errands, phone calls, computer, to discuss) and someone recommended Trello.

Talked to Mom. She was feeling a bit cranky, but is doing okay. She's planning on going to Chicago soon, but is waiting for my aunt and uncle's bathroom to be redone. She suggested a different kitchen island/cart, so I'm going to go look at it. She thinks that I need a trip to the Italian Lake District somewhere along the line to decompress.

Hmm. I'm not feeling sleepy, but I'm not feeling like doing more cleaning and organizing. Maybe I should go to bed and get up early though.
