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 Best" and then it's just putting together the program and hoping for the best.

The next big thing on my list/off my 101 will be getting my teeth.  There's a company a little southeast of me that should be able to get me my dentures without it costing an arm and a leg.  I'm hoping that I can have them by my birthday.  We'll just have to wait and see what comes of it.  

I also, hopefully, will be getting a new car in the next month or so.  It will allow me to get back to deliveries and give me less worry about driving around places.  And, since I'm looking at hybrids, better gas mileage.  I have a few things that I want in the car - Android Auto, lane correction, back up camera, things like that.  But the important thing will be getting a car that actually works.

It hasn't been only sunshine and roses.  We've had a few problems with the youngest child and school.  But those are things we're working on working out as well.  It all feels like I'm making the right steps in the right directions.

Progress.

In Progress: One Month and One Year Challenges

 Happy New Year! For all that I didn't start my 101 journey at the start of the new year, I did decide to start some of the challenges I'd set myself on January 1st.  It's easier to keep track of a month or a year of something when you have an easy to remember start date.  Granted, this is only day two, and I'm probably only going to update this weekly rather than daily.  (How often would you want to read "I read today, I logged it today, I wrote, I didn't eat fast food?  Seriously?)   To start, here's a list of the challenges that I'm going to be working on daily for the next month or next year. Read for at least 20 minutes a day Complete a reading challenge Log my reading for one year Write something every day for a year No fast food for one month Take a picture every day for a year The reading, so far, hasn't been too tough to do.  Between audio books, physical books and digital books, there's rarely an excuse for me to not read.  So far, ...

In Progress: Daily and Monthly Challenges, Week 5

 Another week, more progress made.  It's actually been a fairly good week for many of my goals.  I've been keeping up the reading train and am, so far, at 21 books read this year.  I'm still relistening to the Guild Codex  series for bedtime, but since I'm not counting those... I did, however, finish listening to Whispers Underground  and  Broken Homes.   Now I'm waiting for Foxglove Summer  to come in so I can listen to that next.  I also read and listened to Every Heart a Doorway  by Seanan McGuire.  It was also one of my Friend Recommendation reads, so I'm making my way through that goal as well.  I finished all of the trade paperbacks of Undiscovered Country  (which is through volume 5), and I've started on a series that's intrigued me for awhile, Locke & Key  by Joe Hill.  I've finished the first three books and will probably dive into the fourth tonight.  The good thing with graphic novels is ...

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...
