Hi everyone, and happy December! What a damn year, huh? November ended up being a pretty good month for me with my goals, but I honestly didn’t set that many, so… that’s probably why? Anyway, here’s how I did last month, and what’s in store for December.
November 2020 Goals Recap
✅ Pay off final two medical bills: DONE. So, this is weird. I logged in to pay both of these and they were both gone. Why? I have no idea. I am counting it as done though since 1. I TRIED! and 2. they’re gone. They were just $20 co-pays anyway, so it wasn’t anything major.
✅ Hit 2000 SV for Pink Zebra: DONE! I almost hit 3,000, so it was a great month of business for me!
✅ Purchase six Christmas gifts: DONE! I think I bought over 10 gifts actually, and am almost done with Christmas shopping now. Yay!
✅ Watch eight Christmas movies: DONE! I watched exactly eight so far, and I reviewed them here just yesterday!
❌ Finish my November mystery book club in time for our meeting: FAIL. The book was Somewhere in the Dark by R.J. Jacobs, and I did finish it, it just wasn’t in time. It was great though!
❌ Read two Christmas books: FAIL. I started my Christmas reading, but it was a slow reading month and I haven’t finished any of my Christmas books yet.
❌ Clean our bedroom: FAIL. Our room is a hot mess. I need to do a lot of cleaning and organizing, and then I’d like to upgrade to some modern furniture. Hopefully I can tackle our bedroom project soon!
✅ Total Completed: 4 of 7. Not too bad.
December 2020 Goals
- Read four Christmas books: I need to step up my reading game. It’s been a slow reading year for me.
- Watch 12 Christmas movies: I may (or may not) have a Hallmark problem.
- Clean our bedroom: rollover goal!
- Clean out the kid’s rooms again: I JUST deep cleaned both of their rooms with my mom when I was on my staycation in October, but they made messes again, and I want them cleaned out, organized, and ready for their new Christmas gifts. This is a never-ending battle!
- Hit 1000 SV for my Pink Zebra business: good to set big goals!
- Complete my three “end of year” wrap up blog posts: my yearly tradition of writing a year in review of my personal life, my blog life, and my reading life.
- Make a gingerbread house with Jerry and the kids: a new tradition for us!
- Finish watching Holiday Baking Championship
- Finish watching Holiday Wars
- Make a pie for Christmas: I have leftover ingredients from my Thanksgiving Pecan Pie.
- Make at least two dips for Christmas: I want to make a cold dip and buffalo chicken dip. Maybe one for Christmas Eve and one for Christmas?
- Enjoy our strange new Christmas: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be small this year, and only spent with the immediate family who has been in our “COVID bubble,” and not our extended family like usual. We will basically only be seeing my parents and my brother’s family to celebrate this year, but that’s okay! It’ll be fun. Because of my introversion, smaller gatherings tend to be better for my anxiety anyway.
I can’t believe these are my final 2020 goals. Holy cow. What will 2021 look like? Scary? Hopeful? Good? Bad? I guess we'll find out soon enough!
One messy step at a time still moves you forward.
