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 highlight and refer to. I haven't touched That Librarian in the last week.  Picking up physical books has been a bit more difficult.  I'm hoping to change that soon though. I am in the process of listening to the full cast recording of Good Omens and Down Among the Sticks and Bones, the next book in Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series.  I'm still making progress through The Hanging Tree.  I'm just having a harder time reading than I am listening.

My writing has been slight of late.  Mostly it's been small posts on Facebook.  I'm working toward making that happen more regularly though.  Yesterday, I pulled out my self-discovery deck.  I'm going to try to answer one prompt a day for it for the next 50 days.  Interspersed with that, I'll work on the Story of My Life.  Both, I think, will be good for me.

And, as should surprise no one, my pictures have been kept up with.  Some days it's still the last thing before I fall asleep, but I haven't missed a day yet!  I'm really hoping that this, at least, I'll be able to hit 100%.

Another late night

Big blue eyes

Sometimes I make silly faces

I like the way my necklace lays at 
the base of my throat

I seem to be glassesless a lot

I think I was trying for pensive.

And here I was trying for
mischievous 

I finally remembered my glasses!

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...
