Checking on my goals from the start of the year (post directly below this one):
Level up career-wise… well, I interviewed somewhere that would have been a BIG level up, back in January, but didn’t get it. (Mostly because a friend told me she thought I could do the job, which was a huge boost. Not because I want to leave where I am - I don’t.) I’ve been mulling other things in the meantime. Like, how much do I want to focus even MORE of my time on career, and how much do I actually want to focus SOME time on being a writer, like finally?!? Also, this job I’m in right now is so perfectly suited for me and my personality and my experience that it’s kind of funny. I love it so damn much, more each month. I’m looking into some Professional Development that would help me level up, in this same job. So that’s exciting!
Do two surf lessons. I bought a surfboard, so there’s that. Lessons at Point Michaud don’t open up til July. Stay tuned.
Do a box jump at the gym. I care less about this now than I did in January. Also because of getting braces (which I will be soon) I won’t be able to afford going to the gym as much, so this one’s status is a “we’ll see”.
Write the first draft of my novel. This is the one - this is the one. That I want to clear other things away for.
Pay down debt. I mean, I’m trying. It’s not going great, but I’m trying. I can’t help that I’m a Taurus and I like to indulge in fine food and wine! And that it’s late-stage capitalism and I’m a single mom!
Lastly I want to build an arch in my garden to grow beans on! Got the mesh delivered today (pictured above) … will get my mom to help me transform this into an arch, soon. Also weeded both raised beds over the last week, and got the apple trees - just need to dig the holes.
