Tomorrow we are off to visit family for a few days so I am wrapping up my December goals progress today. They were ambitious and I think I did pretty well! I definitely get an A+ for connecting with people and Fails for Good Energy/Adventure and Taking a Risk, but I think that was a wise decision. Those two goal areas helped me clarify what I am and am not comfortable doing in the current pandemic situation.
Good Energy/Adventure
Nope - Drive around to see holiday lights (rain!!!)
- Go to Studio Channel Islands holiday fair, Go to Cancer Society thrift shop, & Go to farmer's market (I realized I don’t want to go places just to be out and about.)
Connect with People
YES - Attend club meeting and make cookies for sale at meeting
- Attend
Ventura Women's Club Tea
- Attend friend’s husband’s poetry
reading at library
- Attend book club Holiday brunch
- Send holiday cards/emails or make phone calls
Nope – Plan a fun time with Berkeley son and his family at end of month (Decided just to wing it. I do have Christmas presents to bring with us.)
Learn Something
YES - Learn at least 6 essential things on new phone
- Make something
different for Christmas Eve/Christmas dinner for us
Nope – Attend library origami ornaments workshop (Had a friend over for coffee instead)
Take a Risk
Nope - Take my long walking route at least once (I’m not physically ready)
- Go to the gym, Pilates class and/or get a massage (I did check that my HOA gym key still works & found places for the other two when I feel comfortable doing them)
Get Important Stuff Done
YES - Confirm that minimum distribution is scheduled correctly
- Transfer funds for major gifting
- Cleanup & back up important files – I actually did this for my document files!
- Book electrician to replace more ceiling lights
- Find a local place to buy and have installed a phone screen protector
Nope – Call to get replacement recycling bin (Waiting for it to break sufficiently)
- GO bags updated/reconsider content (Will be a January project)
- Turn in stucco repair request to HOA (Will do in early January)
BONUS POINTS
YES - Got QR Code from state health dept. to verify COVID vaccine status
