One more week and we are heading west! The house is looking very packed up, and it looks like everything has fallen into place and the closing will occur as planned. If you read yesterday’s post you know that we were dealing with radon in our water. The issue has been dealt with.
1. Find a new hosting site for my blog and make it secure. Done! This was the first goal accomplished this year and I am so happy to have a secure website.
2. Monetize my blog. I have set up two affiliate accounts. You may be noticing links to my favorite items on Amazon. I’ve also teamed up with an amazing heirloom seed company, Mary’s Heirloom Seeds. Really don’t want to clutter my blog up with too many ads, however I sure appreciate any support in running this blog!
3. Create a cookbook. This is definitely getting put on hold. Hopefully I’ll have more time once we are relocated, this may be postponed until the new year!
4. Be diligent about getting 10K steps in 5 out of 7 days a week. I’ve decided to change this goal to 3 out of 7 days a week! I may not be getting outside to get my steps in but with all the running around packing and going upstairs and downstairs I am managing to get my steps in! Just so you know I count my week Tuesday to Tuesday since that is the day I post my goals! This past weekend we visited family on the Cape, my cousin is also into counting her steps and we enjoyed two very nice walks while we were there. I love being able to walk to the beach!
5. As we continue to prepare for our house sale, continue to de-clutter. DONE!!
6. Read 25 books this year! Done! This week I finished reading The Storyteller’s Secret by Sejal Badani. Such a wonderful story, the main character is Jaya, a New York journalist, who travels to India to uncover her family’s past. I just loved this book. Such a good story with a few tears, but so many good lessons. Now to put a few books on my Kindle for the trip west.
8. Finish 4 knitting projects. Completed! Made two hats and two scarves. Since this goal is completed I am going to put the baby sweater I was working on aside. I have a hard time knitting when the weather is warm so I will finish this sweater, but probably not until the fall! Maybe I’ll do some knitting on the drive west? I am planning to take my knitting bag in the car.
9. Clean out our freezer. Almost done! We have two frozen dinners, a little ice cream and some ice packs and that’s about it in the freezer! Pretty sure the ice cream will be gone before we leave!
10. Take a few road trips and visit family and friends on the east coast that we will not see as often once we move to the west coast. Enjoyed a lovely weekend on the Cape visiting my aunt and my husband’s aunt. Good visits all around and a wonderful time just taking a break from all those boxes! One more overnight to visit my mother-in-law and the next trip will be heading west!
A goal is a dream with a deadline.
