Hello :o)
Today I am feeling motivated to really start working on the rest of my 101 - although maybe nothing to stressful today as I'm recovering from a dental op on Thursday which has stopped me sleeping too well, so I'm feeling pretty tired.
As I said I would do in my last post, I have reviewed the outstanding tasks in my 101 list to see what things are still relevant/wanted - there is no point in keeping tasks on the list if I don't want to do them anymore.
I am also adding a few household type bigger chores to the list as recently I have been easily distracted (and not particularly motivated), so if they are on here I am hoping it will encourage me to do them :o)
Firstly though, what tasks can I now cross off?
Drinking Rooibos daily for 2 weeks, the plan was to have this while I was doing my journalling, but I did it alone as I'm not ready to start the journalling yet. Thankfully I like my Rooibos with honey after it has cooled significantly (often it's completely cold by the time I drink it) as after my op on Thursday I was told not to eat or drink anything hot, so it didn't interfere with my challenge.
As part of my review I spotted some challenges still on my list that actually I have already completed:
- camping. Yes, I have finally decided that the stay at Europaparc does count as camping.
- concerts. I went and watched two of the Rock Highway competition rounds for 2012 (finals and
semi-finals), and despite saying that they counted I hadn't crossed the task off.
- Bake cupcakes - yes, I'll admit they weren't super fancy, and weren't quite what I visualised when I
set this challenge but they were cupcakes, they tasted good, and they were decorated.
So, let's see what's outstanding...
4. Play keyboards 10 times This is to be removed...

25. Take the boys to 3 shows - 1 down, 2 to go (to be identified)... to be changed to 1 show, they

priority at the moment.
43. Be as comfortable as Christopher is on roller-blades (as he is now at 6, not as he is by June

80. Set up a recipe binder
85. Blog re the 101 in 1001 project - started, clearly :-)
88. Manage bank accounts properly, update Excel weekly (not monthly/quarterly)
So I have a few tasks to change, and eight to be removed. Obviously this means that I need to add eight in, so here we have the new arrivals:
- Sort through the boys clothes (Marcus seems to have a ridiculous number of clothes now, they
can't all still fit him, and I'm sure that some of the boys clothes have been killed in the way that
only small children can kill clothes). Time to sort, throw and list anything that we need to get
(probably nothing).
- Make a crafting picture in one of my IKEA picture frames.
- Sort stationery supplies/stickers and post out some RAK packages.
- Sort through the hallway cupboards (these end up storing junk and need a bit of work).
- Package up the big boxes in the hallway and office for recycling (can't sort the cupboards without
doing this... oops!!!
- Sort through the boxes upstairs that have still not been unpacked... do we really need to keep this
stuff? If so, sort it properly into labelled boxes for storing, complete with an inventory of what's in
there...
- Take fish oils daily for 3 months
- Take iron supplements twice daily for 3 months
Time to go and update the main list and get started :o)
Have a great week,
LJx
