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!

In Progress: Daily and Monthly Challenges, Weeks 6 & 7

 Yes, I missed updating last week.  It was a very busy week where I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted to. But I was able to keep up with several things that I had on my list.  Here's the usual rundown. I read a lot of graphic novels over the last couple of weeks.  I'm up to 37 books so far.  I finished Locke & Key , books 4 ( Keys to the Kingdom), 5 (Clockworks)  and 6 ( Alpha and Omega ), along with the side books Heaven and Earth, Small World, and Open the Moon .  I also read some individual issues.  For one of my graphic novel book clubs, I had to read Destroyer by Victor LaVelle.  The problem was that my library didn't have the trade paperback for it.  So instead, I read each one individually.  It was an excellent series, and I think I'm going to have to check out more of his writing.  I also finished At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender: Life Lessons from a 50-Year-Old After Two Decades of Self-Discovery . I am c...

It's Becoming Real

2025 is turning out to be an interesting year for me so far.  Things with the sale of the house are going along nicely.  We should still be on track for having the closing on the 30th (I hope).  I'm becoming more and more ok with the thought of letting the house and everything in it go, which is what's telling me that this is the right call.  I just have to let other members of the family know that this is happening. I'm also making Sunday Assembly progress.  I'm (mostly) ready for this month's assembly.  We had to move it from last Sunday to this upcoming Sunday because of the bad weather we had.  It's given me a little more time to practice my vocal parts and do at least one read through of my "Trying My Best".  Next month, I'll be hosting and I'm making progress there too.  I've got the theme, Rich will be doing the talk, and I've picked out the reading.  I just need to find someone to do the reading and someone for "Trying My B...

Writing: Self-Discovery Deck, Prompt #3

  To what extent are you able to be vulnerable with your emotions? For anyone that knows me, this prompt is almost laughable.  Not because I'm not ever vulnerable with my emotions but because I'm always  vulnerable with my emotions. I wear my heart on my sleeve. When I'm upset, it's easy to see (even if I'm trying to hide it).  When I'm happy, I spread joy around.  When I care for someone, I am very physical with my love. When I'm hurt, I try to let the one who hurt me know and know why. Sometimes, this backfires on me.  I've been told by many, many people over the years that I'm just too much.  That they need to step back from me because my emotions are so intense.  So I try to moderate my emotions.  Not having them, because they are just as valid as anyone else's.  But in how I display them.  Especially when it comes to being upset or hurt, I try to take time to think myself through them to see if I have a reason to be upset or if...
