I'm doing 28 things
Mostly, I’ve passed my phase in life of really wanting to do this. I’m okay with doing it, but I’m okay with not. Right now, I want to throw an air mattress in my backyard and gaze at stars—a step removed from camping. But, with my health (fibromyalgia), that kind of terrain would be tough for me. But happy camping for those of you that are left.

It made me
How I did it: Read my old blogs-- it details everythingI mostly selected a space at a time to focus on and I worked it until I was done. Sometimes, I set time limits (or goals) to work a given area. I like switching spots every 10 minutes and doing that for 30-60 minutes.Now for the text that is important to me (vs. this form the website makes you enter something in): My goal was to get rid of at least a car load of stuff before I moved again.

I sent in a $210 check to be applied to the principle of my loan. This is my first big extra of the year. Goal: make an extra payment each quarter.
An extra 19 minutes at the end of yesterday unpacking a suitcase last used 2 weeks ago. Found some items I’ve been needing.Had to pay for not using the nettie pot in all that time. ouch. Also cleaned my kitchen- still baffled at how that took 2 hours—and folded weeks upon weeks of laundry.
