This was NOT a good week for progress
but this weekend is a long one, so I'm hoping to find some time to do "all the things".
Financially:
1. Pay off my credit cards (it's not a lot, but it's debt)
-Empty! Still not calling this "done" until winter is over, but then I might change this to say "keep the cards empty".
2. Figure out a way to put some sort of extra on the mortgage, even if it's the $100 minimum - DONE!
3. Get some things I NEED to have (rims/tires for the car, etc)
-Still no. I looked into winter boots (which I desperately need) but am having trouble finding anything. I might be stuck with the leaky ones for another year.
4. Get a savings plan going for the big stuff that comes due in one lump sum payment (insurance, property tax)
-Nothing actually completed with this, but I looked at the budget to see what kind of auto-payments I might be able to afford to set up.
General stuff:
1. Make a will. A marriage voids your existing will, a divorce does NOT. My Dad had a heart attack recently, so this is especially important to me now.
-No progress this week
2. Continue to clear out the crap. I need to go through my clothes and that sort of thing. I got a pile done in 2022, but it really wasn't enough.
-4 items gone this week.
3. Look for a new job. The reason nothing has been getting done is because I'm burned out from my existing job and I'm being severely underpaid for the work I do.
-Tried to get some gig work, but that fell through
4. Get my passport.-DONE!
5. Knock some half-finished projects off the list. Everything from making a scarf to some jewelry. Lots of stuff has been started, but not finished. Enough already!
-Worked on a project, nothing completed
6. Get into better shape. I'd like to say 'lose weight', but I'd be happy to be able to run up my own steps without getting winded. The weight loss may or may not come, but it's not as important.
-Did 1 workout. It was a stretch even to get one done.
7. Spend more time with loved ones. I don't see friends/family much. I guess I really need to do #3 in order to facilitate this one.
-Spent some time with friends once
8. Organize my stuff!
-Opened a closet, looked at it, and closed it again. I just couldn't do it this week.
