    Scale progress & goals

    November: 183.6
    December: 176.6
    January: 174.6
    February: 173.6
    March: 179.6

    April 3: 181.2 - Tomorrow is another day.

    Woo, that's gonna be a lot of grading today. Let's see how it goes. I've still got that folder, plus I think there's some in the yellow folder, and then there's the big manila one that has all the late work.

    I think I want to try to get to the tiny Greek restaurant that's only open for lunch on weekdays, and stop by the liquor store that's nearby on the way either to or from it. Went to the one near the library yesterday but there were three things on our list and they didn't have ANY of them. And I'm picky. But like... booze is expensive. I'm not going to get something other than what I really want. :P Also, I've decided that I prefer Topo Chico to San Pellegrino; it's bubblier.

    If I can get the green folder done today, tomorrow will be a good day to go suit shopping. And I've now got four books out from the library that are due in two weeks. I think I'm going to try to get the two digital ones finished first, because I can't renew them; they just get marked 'expired' and then if someone else has them checked out I'm out of luck. But then that means that I have GOT to remember to renew the others... because that's how I end up with whopping big fines and feeling guilty for not being responsible!

    And I still haven't gone outside for my run/walk combo. It's COLD :P

    - Leave work by 5.30 :neutral: 5.45. I did actually turn my laptop off at 5.30, apparently it takes 15 mins of faffing before I actually leave...

    - Leave work by 5.30

    I'm curious, what do you work at that you have to work so hard to leave on time?

    This is my problem with the library too, I always miss the return date :( Good Luck with all of you goals.

    Make sure that you're getting enough water - a headache is often an early symptom of dehydration. Feel better!

    Thank you! The thing is that it's relatively easy to return them when I can make time to read. But I'll go for several cycles and then something comes up and I forget and I've got a whole bunch of books out and then WHAMMO! Two days overdue and I'm $5 in fines. Grrh!

    Fortunately with just two physical copies it shouldn't be TOO bad if I miss the deadline.

    March goals
    Under 167 :) Made it but bounced back a titch this week.
    Medication on track. I tend to forget a dose when unscheduled things pop up and then don't feel well. :|
    Studio twice+ /week :D
    Work on pink/blue quilt, hopefully borders finished quilting. Actually hopefully complete and on my bed! :) Not on my bed but the borders are done and the binding is machined on and mostly hand sewn!
    Declutter entry :) I took 4 boxes to the thrift store.
    Accountability :) Thanks all

    Work on pink/blue quilt to be completed and on my bed! So close!
    A couple other small projects.
    Declutter entry further. It’s not actually an entry, per se. It’s a multipurpose room that we enter the house through. Laundry, storage, recycling, coats and shoes. I want it less junky and I want less stuff in my space at any rate so I need to put more effort into this.
    Accountability

    At our libraries you can renew online so you basically extend your lending time and don't get the fine!
    But that's the UK.. so don't know if that's something yours does

    i think it's the weather here. the wind yesterday was gusting to 60mph, so allergies are nuts.
