Mile Long To Do List - January Update

The list I posted in early January was a list of projects to be worked on in 2019, with one or two new items added (schedule donations pick up, for one).  I wasn't planning to do it all in January.  In fact, I wrote (at the time) that I didn't expect it to be done anytime soon!  The important thing was to get started on the list.  However, I stated that I would like to see at least 15 items crossed off the list, by the end of January.  I am happy to say that I managed to cross off 16 items from the list and at least started on another couple!  Yay!

  1. Great job! You had major successes in decluttering AND taking steps to getting it out of the house. You also did well outside with looking after the pine tree, planting some winter veggies, and planting a fruit tree and already getting blossoms on it. Another great accomplishment was having the car serviced and shortly afterwards having to nurse Dancer back to good health. It was a great chunk of money having to be spent early in the month, but it is all behind you now.
