Goals for ROW80 2021 Round 3


Three months worth of goals are below.

Bathroom (1-5 in early July)

Yes, the bathroom will still be a thing in my life for awhile longer, but I'm close to finishing the bulk of it. Those items that are making the rest of my home a mess. Well, not all of them. The tub surround for Phase two is hanging out in my living room behind my couch and it's quite an annoying thing to have this large cardboard box there, but it is less in the way than it was in my entrance way, so I'm calling it a temporary win and maybe I'll cover it with a blanket to pretend it's not a giant box behind my couch.

1. Finish plank wall
2. Install trim
3. Get and install corner shelves
4. Move furniture in
5. Celebrate the completion of Phase 1
6. Phase 2? (Depends on plumber)


Education

I'm currently enrolled in a course to help improve my ability to research as an author as I feel like this is one of my weaker skills at this moment in my writing career. I want to learn the methods that help me get what I need for my stories.

1. Complete Understanding Research Methods course.


Financial

My main goal right now is to get rid of debt. I'm not doing terrible here, but I do have room to improve.

1. Pay off my student loan.
2. Get back to saving with my advisor. 

Gaming

I intend to get streaming more on my Twitch channel. My short term goal is to get Affiliate status. I need a few more followers and more hours online to make that happen.

1. Pick 1 game to play on my Twitch stream that has an ending
2. Get all my systems hooked up
3. Test streaming from Xbox One

Guitar

I want to be able to play songs in my vocal range. I also want to be able to play songs I enjoy and learn cool tricks like the one I learned the other day for D/DSUS4. It was such a small thing, but powerful.

1. Learn the chords for my band's first song
2. Complete Rock Levels 2 and 3 on Fender Play
3. Continue improving with Rocksmith 2014
4. Investigate vocal lesson.

Kitchen

I need to get some bigger maintenance items done in this room that have taken a backseat to the bathroom.

1. Install trim
2. Clean oven
3. Clean fridge

Living Room

It's time to get back to my general declutter efforts. My paper mess has to be gone through and purged. I also want to make my place nice so I can stream games on Twitch from my Xbox One.

1. Paper Declutter (10 sheets per day)
2. Clean streaming area
3. Finish the chaise.

Reading

Toward the end of Round 2, I was able to finally start reading more books and I'm loving it! I missed reading so much. As my home gets cleaner, I find I can relax more with books, TV, and games. I want to continue on this path as I feel it helps me reduce my stress levels.

1. 1 audible book each week (12 books total)
2. 1 other book every two weeks (6 books total)

Skating/Fitness

My ultimate goal for skating this summer is to be able to do my first grind. 

1. 30 minutes a day (If raining, do Ring Fit or other indoor fitness)
2. Lose at least 5 lbs more (Target is 131 lbs for this round and 120 lbs overall)
3. Perform a Soul Grind.

Writing

With regard to Sparks, I'm hoping to get more done than this target, but I think this is an achievable goal to set without stressing myself too much.

1. Sparks: Edit 1 chapter each week minimum (12 chapters)
2. Blog: Once per week minimum (12 blog posts)

The Gauntlet That Was October

I had a lot of things happen in October. I watched Frankenstein in the cemetery with friends. I had tea with a friend. I started a new sport: curling. This is really fun and I'm enjoying the level of activity it provides and all the strategic elements. I'll do a separate post on it soon. Unfortunately, soon after my first game, I came down with Covid and so did the friend who I had tea with, so I think we both caught it at the place we went to. That wasn't fun. I already posted about that. I was fortunate to be free of it in time to attend Can-Con where I took in lots of panels, saw some of the wonderful writer community, bought many new books, and volunteered to help out in the rooms. The following weekend, I went to the livestream for Danielle Allard's new album release, followed by the in person release. As part of this, she has a 6 video series that releases every Sunday on her YouTube at 1:15 PM EDT. Video number 2, Falling Into Place, is one that I feel fortunate

2023 - Week 40

I felt a touch rough on Monday. After exchanging some shoes, I needed electrolytes. The heat with the egg thing made me a bit nauseus. I had lots of fluids before having noodles for dinner. That made me feel better. When Tuesday came about, I was looking forward to what I might be learning at GSL curling in the evening. I was also excited to being on the ice as a break from the unseasonal heat. It's spooky season! It's supposed to be a cool and cuddly time. We should be wearing hoodies (or bunny hugs if you prefer). Instead, I was sweating in jeans as I simply walked from my condo building to my car. Wednesday's plan was streaming, but I also hoped to fit an exchange at Home Depot in as I got the wrong shelf size for a project. Really, my original plan for something didn't work, so I was choosing to go a different way. I did stream, but I didn't get to Home Depot. Thursday featured work followed by packing for my spooky weekend away with friends. I got my oil and my

The PWHL

I've gotten my season tickets for the inaugural season of the Professional Women's Hockey League. I had put my deposit down as soon as it was open. Am I a hockey superfan? No. I enjoy hockey. I started watching it quite a lot during my divorce. I also used to practice my slapshot against the foundation of our house when I was an angst-filled teen. I care about women in sport having amazing opportunities like this. Anyway, some people in the comments section on the posts are truly something. The league posted the schedule, which was more of a calendar without time blocks listed. They happened to post that on the day that priority purchasing was opened for the season tickets.  So then there are a bunch of people who didn't put deposits down that were complaining they can't buy tickets yet. Makes total sense 😒 And then there were a bunch of other people complaining that nothing has been announced on the streaming and televisation of the games. Some were even suggesting th
