I really have the need to cook this week, So I’m aiming to get my Kombucha fermenting, some pickled peppers and asparagus going, some soaked grain bread made (for home and for me to take).

I’m also leaving for a 6 week field school in about a week and a half so I need to get all my gear sorted and ready to go. Also need to shop for food, I may do that when I get there.

I also want to start learning ArcGIS and how to use Microsoft Excel for Stats this month, and as always I have school…always school.

Anyway, I’m going to try and do a weekly check in this month, hopefully to keep myself on track.

And this all fits the Monthly Topic because they are all learning experiences! So I’m growing! 1 month ago

Is there a May topic yet? I’m really enjoying these and I don’t want to miss out! 1 month ago

I stuck with it for about a week. Not great. 1 month ago

So, I got a whole new spring/summer wardrobe, pretty pleased with it. $47 at Goodwill and I almost replaced every article of clothing I own.

Got my grad school straightened out. Now to double down on my lit review.

I have hopes of a field school in May, but that will depend on the financial aid coming through.

What else?

Not so pleased with my workouts, but when am I ever? I think I may begin to hate myself with running…cause why not? I don’t really want to, it looks awful, and the runners I see look miserable, but I need the endurance training.

So that’ll be my goal for next month. Yoga and Running. 1 month ago

So far this month I read:

American Gods by Neil Gaiman, ok I re-read it, but it counts. 1 month ago

I want Muffins! and I’ve got some killer recipes for Japanese Lunches. 2 months ago

I am going to count unabridged Audio-books.

So in March I read:

Double Dexter
The Subtle Knife : Book 3 of His Dark Materials 2 months ago

So we’ve had two meetings now with the Family group at CFI. It’s a great place to start and everyone seems excited about it. So far we’re stuck on membership dues and vaccination. I guess those are the best places to have a fight if you’re going to. Either way, this is going swimmingly, everyone is excited, now to find out if the kids are going to like it. 2 months ago

So not doing well with this. 2 months ago

So, as for the garden, the seeds we started outside will propbalby need to be resown, since March can’t decide if it’s part of Spring or Winter…

As for my loose goals, My midterm was a huge flop, but I was able to get a little more guidance since my professors now know where my weaknesses are. So that’s a good/bad.

Also we’re going to see a TedX Talk which is hugely amazing. Also we had a monthly relationship discussion and we worked out some boundaries that will hopefully work for us both, and a cleaning schedule that we can hopefully stick too. That’s a win.

Overall the month has been good, I’m working on trying to find out what’s wrong with my thyroid, and taking supplements till I can figure it out. I’m tracking my sleep and working on de-stressing and refocusing my stress. It might work.

Anyway, not a huge loss, and mostly moving forward. 2 months ago

So that is one of the goals anyway, also I have my midterm to finish, my project to work on, and a documentary to help out with. I’m sure there are other things I’m missing, but I’ll write them down as I remember. 3 months ago

I’m approaching my wall, I need to be careful to vear. I am going a little too full steam ahead perhaps. I am working on a sleep ritual, so that I can get to sleep. That might help some.

Really other then that I am way far behind on my school work, and I need to start catching up. 4 months ago
