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!

Writing: Self-Discovery Deck Prompt #2

What do you know you'll regret if you don't make it happen in your life? I try really hard to live life without regrets. Everything that does or doesn't happen makes me the person that I am. That said, there's one thing that I'd really like to happen before I leave this world. I want to travel outside the US. In my 50 years, I've never been outside of the United States. Until I was 29, I hadn't been out of the Eastern Time Zone. I'd been up and down the east coast - living in a small town in New York, visit family in Florida, visiting Washington DC, moving to Florida, moving to New York City, moving to Philly... and I loved every minute of these trips and moves. But I wanted to see more of the country. At 29, I went to visit a friend/partner in Montana. I was so excited to see a different landscape. And it was. The mountains were far different than the ones on the east coast. The air felt different. The peopl...

In Progress: Daily and Monthly Challenges, Week 8

Yes, I'm running a day later than usual. I sat in front of the computer to type up my blog post and just... couldn't do it. There are a lot of things on my mind regarding the state of the country and I just needed distraction rather than focus. Today, while still worried, I feel better able to handle to frustrations and still be productive. My reading has been... I've been reading every day but I can't remember much of what I have read. As per usual, I'm in the middle of about 5 books and I bounce between them. My sleep-reading has continued the Guild Codex series. I finished Slaying Monsters for the Feeble (the 2nd book in the Demonized sub-series) and started Druid Vices and a Vodka last night. These I don't count in my over all titles for reading because I'm asleep for a lot of it. I finished The Radical King and, once I've got the money to do so, am planning on buying a paperback copy of it that I can high...

Other Updates - Dad's House, Decluttering and Letters

Today, I had the closing on Dad's house. It was far quicker than I expected, and much easier. It was also a bit bittersweet because all I can think of are the things I left behind. I know that I don't want or need them, but there's that bit of regret that always seems to happen with things like this. But at least this part has finished. I just need to wait for another couple months to get the remainder of the money after debts are paid. There shouldn't be a lot of them so I should still get a good amount. That, combined with what I'm getting back from my taxes... I should have a bit of a hefty padding to keep us afloat if things go bad. I spent time this past week decluttering my closet. I got rid of a lot of crap that was just taking up space, reorganized my clothes in the closet, and put several things in a bag for Goodwill. I was pretty pleased with how it all came out, and I'm no longer afraid of opening my closet to get so...
