Post to the blog at least twice a week
—>After a bit of a break to get used to the baby, I think this has been going well. This is all due to husband-enforced coffee shop time. About which I will say more at a later time.
More music: listen to more music generally, try out at least one new artist every month
—>Listening to music has taken a bit of a backseat as I struggle to get into a routine.
Knit more, at least 20 minutes a week
—>Does knitting once for maybe five minutes count?
Bake more, at least twice a month
—>Back to making zucchini muffins. Nothing else, really.
Exercise every day, at least a little
—>This is on something of a pause while I wait the doctor mandated six weeks to heal. I’ve been doing half sun salutations and some low impact abdominal exercises semi-regularly in the meantime. And working in a walk here and there, as weather permits.
Take better care of my skin: take off makeup regularly; mask at least once a week
—>This is a bit of a mess. I’m mostly just a huge slob these days. Living life in 1-3 hour chunks makes personal grooming a bit challenging, but I’ve managed to be ok at taking off my makeup and have even squeezed in a mask or two.
Take better care of my body: drink more water and eat more produce
—>I’m doing ok with this. Thanks to my mom being around to handle the grocery shopping and cooking. It will be a huge bummer when she goes and I’m left to my own resources again.
Keep in better contact with people, regular emails and phone calls sort of thing
—>Being home with the baby most of the time, I’m going a bit stir crazy. Which means that I’m making more of an effort to invite people over and keep up communications. Sort of. It’s also just as easy (maybe easier) to find reaching out daunting and put it off as a result.
Read more, at least two books a month
—>
Books read:
Keep home tidy every day
—>Not even going to dignify this with a response.
More reflection/journalling
—>It probably won’t come as a surprise that living life between feedings doesn’t allow for a lot of reflection.
Get and stay organized
—>Pfft
Set schedules/routines and stick to them
—>This is a huge joke at this point. I have a baby. He sets the schedule. And is still on the fickle side at this point. As much as I’d love a routine, I know that I have to wait.
