Brief Update

 Slowly but surely, I've been making progress on my 101 in 1,001.  Not a lot has been fully checked off but there's a lot that's in progress.


I started writing my 100 Things That Make Me Happy.    I'm putting it in my BuJo for a safe place to keep it.  I like the layout design that I'm making with it.  When I finish, I'll post it all here.  In the meantime, here's a couple of pictures of the BuJo pages so far.




I'm still keeping up with my cleaning schedule.  There are some false starts and changing things up every once in awhile, but it's been two weeks and I haven't stopped yet.  I'm keeping my motivation by posting to a Facebook group that I started and I have a friend that's encouraging me as I send him before and after pictures.

I've been working on my About Me book as well.  It's interesting to remember things that I'd forgotten thanks to the prompts in the book.  I'm hoping to get into a routine of doing a couple pages a night at the same time I do my Gratitude books.

The other day, I decided that I was going to work on putting my DVDs away.  I thought I'd gotten them all and then found another pile I'd missed.  I'm hoping to finish it one day this week, though I've got a fairly full week ahead.

Yesterday, I started watching Stranger Things.  I had it on while putting together my new desk and managed to get through the first season.  I'm enjoying it a lot and part of me wonders why I never watched it before.  Being a child of the 80s, it's nostalgia on high.  Generally, I'm not big on horror and horror adjacent.  But this isn't freaking me out as much as it would have 20 years ago.

I also wrote my letter to myself to be opened on at the end of the 1001 days.  Like my 100 Things that Make Me Happy, I put it in my BuJo so I know where it is.  Hopefully I'll remember it's there!

My self-care for the last two weeks has been giving myself permission to not do anything for a day.  It's not a huge deal but it's something I have trouble with.  I always feel guilty when I'm taking a day off, but I'm trying to get better about that so I'm considering this self-care.

This week I'm hoping to finish my happy list, work more on my About Me, watch more Stranger Things and write a letter to a friend.  I'm very pleased with my progress so far!

Welcome to my 101 in 1,001!

 Hello all!  Welcome to my journey for my 101 and 1,001.  I'm going to use this space to write about the various goals and how I reached them, adding the various lists that I want to make, and the pictures I hope to take.  It will probably be a slow start, but I hope you'll stick around for the journey and help encourage me along the way!

Goal Completed: Do a Try My Best at Sunday Assembly

 Sunday Assembly  had to be rescheduled from the 12th to the 19th thanks to the snow we'd gotten that weekend.  So I had to wait another week before I could put my worries of screwing up behind me.  It was a fairly big month for me.  Not only was I doing Trying My Best, but I was singing with the band.  Most of my singing was harmony for the songs others sang lead on ("Help", "Deeper Well", "Lovely Day", "Afterlife"), but I did get to sing lead on "Shake It Off".  I practiced quite a bit Sunday morning, hoping that I'd knock it out of the park.  I also made sure to practice my TMB as well. Set up and practice for Assembly started at 2:45.  It was the first time I'd helped with set up, but it wasn't too bad to go through.  I helped with a lot of the audio set up, then got a chance to practice with the band a couple of times.  I had to keep reminding myself that I don't need perfection, but to just try to do my best.  ...

Completed Task: Watch Stranger Things

 Why did I wait so long to watch this?! I'm an 80s kid through and through.  I wasn't as much of a geek in the 80s (it was tough being one in my small town, especially when no one was able to introduce me to things), but I'm definitely one now.  And between my nostalgia for the time period and my knowledge of things now, it hits my sweet spot.   As a general rule, I don't care for horror.  And this show definitely has it's share of horror.  But for all that the psychological and visual horror was there, it didn't bother me nearly as much as it usually did.  I think it's because I was able to focus on the nostalgia and the story rather than the horrific aspects.   And the story was incredibly engaging.  In season one, finding out what happened to Will and what we could find out about Eleven kept me continuing to go on to the next episode.  The relationship between the kids had me invested.  The familial relationships felt r...
