Accountability Post

Happy Solstice for everyone! Longest or shortest day, it is clear today that the wheel turns. I have paperwork time this morning, and then I will be seeing a few people before heading home early for a four day weekend. I will probably get some creative work done this weekend, but money stuff is right out.

Other goals for the weekend: Bake enough to have yummy treats for the nieces and nephew that will be at the family Xmas. Finally put up the tree. Work on next year's modified Bullet Journal. (I'm using a three-ring binder and card stock printed in dot grid vs a traditional one. It allows me to organize things more flexibly than in a notebook with the pages permanently fixed). Also, I want to get some knitting time in and *maybe* finish the danged sweater I had almost finished before I realized I messed it up and frogged it to the beginning.

Gratitudes: I am grateful for a good night's sleep. I am grateful for the banana bread I ate for breakfast even though I'm allergic and now my feet and hands itch. I am grateful for friends all over the world.

Planning for the next planning period (which is not a year)

I typically look at my life plan every three or four months. Some current goals for the next few months:

1. Finish the bankruptcy and start repairing my credit.

2. Get rid of the fifty pounds of "stress baby" that is sitting in my abdomen (this is more specific than "lose weight". I want to divest of the specific kind of fat that has formed around my abdomen).

3. Have a dependable second line of income and/or increase my primary income

4. Develop a regular writing habit that fits in my schedule and pick 2-3 projects to work on.

5. Make my home office into a space I like being in.

6. *Use* my bullet journal at least 3-4 days each week.
