June Check In

 When I started this blog, my goal was to post here twice a week. I kept that up for a few years, but then fell back to once a week. Slowly, that target plummeted to once a month. Then I quit altogether for a while. Recently, though, with retirement pending, I got fired back up to commit to this writing blog, but have still been stumbling around with it.

I’m not going to beat myself up over it. I must have written that twenty times here over the years. Oh, well. It’s all I can do.

Here are my goals and accomplishments for the month of May:

1. Write two chapters in “Rewrite the Now”. Nope, still haven’t touched it. 

2. Clean as many closets in the house as I can. A dumb and nonspecific goal. Umm, I maybe cleaned one.

3. Have a rummage sale. Yes, finally! Got rid of some stuff. 

4. Spring clean the camper and go camping one weekend! Yes. Thanks to the stupid snow we had all April, we didn’t bring the camper home until the first of May and went camping the very next weekend, but I got it cleaned and ready in time.

5. Clean up and organize the pictures on my computer. Shoot, I totally forgot about this.

6. Finish my sewing project. Yes, and I love how the little bags turned out which I made for my co-workers.

The June calendar, unfortunately, is just about full. I work (so much for retirement) four days this month, am going “cabining” with my sister for three days, attended a funeral yesterday, and hope to get together with a long-lost cousin the end of the month. I am starting to get settled into a schedule of sorts though, learning how to pace myself and making lists of things to do for each day.

My June goals:

1. Reread my work in progress, “Rewrite the Now”, again.

2. Write two chapters in “RTN”.

3. Clean the guest room closet and my linen closet. (Need to be specific.)  

4. Organize my pile of USB drives and start saving stuff on them. 

5. Clean up and organize the pictures on my computer, which is part of #4.

6. Start a new sewing project. (I have so many in my head!)

Well, that’s about it for now. We’ll see how it goes. Have a good month and God bless, Chris
