Results - November goals

 🎂🧣🍎🧘🏼🎨🎼🍁💻🐶☔️🍗

Well once again my list was too long and also was impacted by being sick for 10 days plus pup keeping us up at night with tummy troubles.

Still, important things were accomplished. I’m going to say that self care happened but is was in the form of naps and sitting around reading while I was sick!

BONUS: What wasn’t on the list but got done is that I bought a Mac laptop at Black Friday’s very discounted prices based on my son’s recommendations. Learning how to use it will be a project for 2025. My desktop is so old that it can’t upgrade Windows and it is quite slow. Time for it to go.

CELEBRATE

*  Done: Enjoy celebrating our Granddaughter’s 8th birthday and the accompanying visit by our older son and DIL. 11/17 & 18

* Postponed due to weather and holiday: He wants to go out to lunch by the water so we will - Celebrate Hubby’s 72nd birthday however he wants on 11/21

* Done: Send cards, emails or make calls for my cousin’s birthday and brother and SIL’s anniversary.

* Done: He had to head back early for business reasons but we saw him 3 times - Enjoy visits with my nephew who is in town for most of the month but lives in Taiwan.

* Done: sent, instead of taking, a charcuterie board for appetizer - Thanksgiving with DIL’s family

LEARN & DO STUFF

* Completed first of 3 steps and got directions for other 2 - Sign up to change secondary health insurance to Kaiser for 2025 and beyond.

PREP FOR RAIN & COLD

* Done - Buy a better raincoat for the pup. His current one blows up in the wind and he gets wet as well as annoyed. This week I was able to buy myself rain pants so once he gets a better coat we are set.

* Partially - Ready the house and yard.

* Done - wash patio furniture and store much of it in garage

Delayed until Spring - touch up paint on metal patio furniture that stays outside

* 1/2 Done -  Handyman was a no show but Hubby got one thing done - fixed attic door so it closes tight - Still to do: shop for matching weatherstripping and replace on one side of the front door
