j7 - goal check in

It's been one week.  Let's see what progress I've made towards the goals....

Jan-May

1. Purge stuff before the move - (aka - look like I’m moving into a tiny house. 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, hall closet, pantry, outdoor closets - 8 “rooms” to clear) - finally dumped out the clothes basket of Nathan's 9th grade papers that have been sitting in the pantry for 6 months. (Bonus - found 2 gift cards to walmart!)
2. Digitize all photos
3. Streamline all on-line digital storage (google pictures, one drive, icloud, flickr, photobucket) - deleted old stuff from photobucket, downloaded everything from flickr.  Need to organize the photos on my laptop and external drive before going further
4. Doctor’s appointment - snoring, blood sugar, IUD removal
5. Eye exam (April?)
6. Vehicle inspection (due in Feb) - mailed off insurance and fee.  target date for oil change and inspection - Jan 13
7. Get rid of china Lenox - Margaret pattern

June -Dec 

1. Get a job quickly in Norman

• Update resume
• Update linkedin and other sites
• Get proof of Cherokee citizenship
• Finish CEs and renew certification - completed 1 CE

1. Find a church home in Norman
2. Combine Metlife and Merril Lynch accounts - reset Merril Lynch password.

All Year

1. Have either the car or student loans paid off by the end of the year (extra $475 a month on car, extra $767 a month on student loans PLUS regular automatic payment)
2. Lose 30 pounds - began the Whole30 challenge again.  Not going quite so hard core as the first time.  Allowing myself milk for the coffee.  Not quibbling about beans or rice.  Just hard line against alcohol, grains, sugar.  boy I really wanted chocolate yesterday....
3. Have Nathan finish his Eagle
4. Read through the bible in one year - every day so far
5. Yoga or tai chi (aka work on flexibility) - downloaded some free videos on amazon, tried it for 1 day.  Didn't like the production quality.  Will dig out the DVDs I own and start next week
6. curb my foul mouth (not sure I can curb my sarcastic ways, but at least I can avoid swearing).

So measurable goals for this week

1. complete 1 CE
2. get oil change and state inspection
3. take out china pattern and inventory what I have.  Submit bit to replacements.com
4. organize photos on laptop by year
5. mail off Eric's tag renewal

1st Book of 2018 - The Trouble with the Twelfth Grave by Darynda Jones

I also shoved most of my quilting supplies back in the closet.  While I have a couple of projects in mind and some quilts already cut out, I really want to focus January on purging and photos.  While I seem to have the notion that I can REALLY purge the quilt fabric by making a GAZILLON quilts in the next 5 months, I'm lying to myself and need to just enjoy a fairly clutter-free bedroom without all the sewing crap everywhere....
