November Goals Review and December Goals

Can I say - just survive the holidays?

You see, I need my routine. And all these days off and 'changes' really bother me in the back of my wee brain. I feel like I can't get in step with what I need to do. But...

• Finalizing and setting concrete steps for 2017 plans and projects - sort of/kind of...still working on it
• Successfully complete NaNoWriMo this year made my 50,000 words despite computer issues!
• Hosting several write-ins at the library not as successful as I would have liked, but decent
• Submitting my proposed programs to the programing staff for consideration at the library. Did and got a list of workshops I am doing for 2017. Excited and can't wait!  
• Decluttering my sewing area - this ties in with my 2017 plans for what I want to do - almost done, still need to get some things downstairs
• Buying one towel, one plant and one set of sheets 
• Plan Thanksgiving dinner 
• Work on the TMNT afghan and get at least 4 more strips done - NOPE!
• Finish up the little "Nemo" hat I picked up for Lady K Done and she wears it all the time
• Finish up the Bee Hive blocks for October and November and get them in the mail Done and they have been received
• Find a top to go with the leggings I received - Not yet, haven't been shopping for me.
• Shopping trip to Missoula with Savvy and Texter Shopping trip was just Texter and I, Savvy had to work after all.
• Letters written (which includes a now belated birthday card!) - NOPE!

So this is my current 'habit' I am trying to develop. Water. After my last doctor's visit, my blood pressure and blood sugar are up and I need to bring them down. So water. I figure if I put it on my desk where I am most of the day when at home, or at least near it, then it will prompt me to drink more water! And I wanted it pretty, to further inspire me.

After looking at my November goals, I realized I had actually done more than I felt like I had. So I am very pleased. December, in a way, will be a bit more relaxed. I have a week of vacation before Christmas, Lady K will be at daycare during the day, and I plan to 'veg out' and crochet and knit and read and write and nap and...

• Get those damn letters written!
• Buy towel and plant - actually the plant already purchased. An amaryllis for Christmas and Texter got me a little pink Christmas cactus
• Finish getting stuff downstairs
• Do December Bee Hive block
• Get vision board for 2017 Word of the Year done
• Finalize plans for "Results Not Resolutions" workshop on January 7. I need a power point and some examples made up.
• Start working on plans for other workshops I'm leading
• Exercise! Get a plan in place and put it on my schedule
• Decide exactly what planners and notebooks I'm using in 2017
• Write up project sheets for things I want to get done in 2017
• Work on TMNT afghan
• Enjoy Christmas vacation!

I think I am ready for December and 2017!
