After I complete a goal, I usually find I try to read through all the entries under that goal to get the full scope of it and remember too where I came through that goal. so.

I remembered more things I fixed!!! because when I looked back I realized that now in all this time, I fix stuff that seems like no big deal and originally it would have. so.

I fixed the new shower issues again for now. (rough situation)
One repair I’d been waiting for months for the landlord to fix, I finally found myself doing. long story. but now, I can have my home much more how I would want it because of that. :) and I did it by myself and tested it myself too to know I 100% can expect guests to not have an issue with it too.

:D glad it’s different now, and hope it stays that way.
okay, off to bed before I’m crying tomorrow. – efg :D 5 months ago

I know I’ve fixed 5 more things….. what could they be?

5.) I mmmmmm….. fixed the problem of what to give my neighbors when the one gift did not work out. I thought I was behind on giving someone a gift, but God just worked it out so tada – I had a gift to give the more important people. That sounds awful to say. It’s not that others weren’t important, it’s that these people had meant more and I wanted to do more for them than nothing! so.

4.) fixed – last scary health problem. It does not solve everything, but I worked so hard, freaked out so much, and finally just begged God to show me what to do. And while I still am not always sure it’s God leading me, this I’m pretty sure was. Soon after that time, while still taking strict attention to changing my lifestyle and diet etc., I felt peace like it wasn’t all that big of a deal to worry about this. I don’t know how this plays out in the future, and truth, I’m so worn from the last week that I can’t really tell how I’m reacting to this but this is there. For now – what was alarming before is now hardly a flag at all. that’s a miracle. and for now. it’s fixed.

3.) M’s eyebrows. lol brief but I did it.

2.) things in my life I don’t even know…. just by leaving and God getting me out of where I was living. it’s still a long road, but I honestly know I cannot fathom how many things were saved in me by leaving when I did.

1.) need to think this one through and then tick the list complete. there really isn’t all that much to repair anymore. That’s rather nice! :) Because the reason I started this goal was because I had the one about not living in situations that other people would come in and say, “how on earth does anyone LIVE in that!?” I know it’s not about other people completely, but this place is different I think. It’s still a mess at times, but it’s not falling apart. and if I take care of it, it should be okay.

YAY!!! I remember something and checked, I haven’t written it down. :) so I will get to end this goal with a real fix-it like I wanted. :) I ahem, fixed the paint chips on the walls. I used pen correction fluid LOL! because it was the same shade and all that I had on hand. and it worked! It looks sparkling pristine new. nary a chip to be seen around here. ;)

so. tada. zee goal iz kum-pleeete. and new space is created more new living. that is what I want right now. ♥ 5 months ago

fixed a music device converter thingamabob. (wow! that did not come up under spell check. seriously!) Anyway, I was finagling with it when of all the things the prongs came out of the device with the wires attached?! So, lots of tape and troubleshooting later – I am proud to say it works, and I haven’t been electrocuted. yet. 5 months ago

only six left to go!!! :) 5 months ago

I took a break from here and went over my ledgers. I tell you, for hating math, I can crunch numbers quite well – when I’m having to find out where a money error occurred!!! I (gulp) found not 1, not 2, but 3. 3?!!
so….
9.)
8.) and
7.)

are each individual mathematical errors I had to track down, recalculate and just sort the whole mess out of. I hadn’t even known there was such a mess, so I’m glad I found it. Glad I could fix it, and oodle-lolly! glad to see that it could have been dangerous, and I need to consistently recheck those calculations. Just check in every couple of weeks and make sure everything is as it should be. mathematically correct and financially as sound as possible!!
eek, but better to see it now then later.

I “fixed” several things and am counting them. For this entry I’m using the word “fixed” to mean the American South version of fixin’ a meal. So. ahem.
I fixed the following lately (and yes they count!)
14.) eggs
13.) brownie mush lol
12.) frozen yogurt
11.) my favorite meal
10.) cereal that brought back a memory

these were all big deals for me. so they count. I know I’ve fixed as in repaired other things I can’t remember, so there it is.

9 more to go and I can be finished with this goal! I’m sure another will replace it in the future once I’m moved in fully and properly. Then, yes, then I’ll be wanting to maintain the upkeep of my home, and also upgrade it as well. Then such goals will rise again reworded and refashioned, but still helping me steer my life as I hope to go.

man, I know there was something! ah. will have to sleep on it and see if I remember when I awaken. you know. it only just dawned on me after aaaalll these years that the reason you’re supposed to use “awaken” instead of “wake up” might be the whole don’t end a sentence with a preposition. If that’s true, I suppose those kind of gems of knowledge are best bestowed to those who actually respect grammar’s wishes all the time. okay. to nap now. will wax eloquent…. talking in my sleep. :) 6 months ago

strap on case. glued it. hope it stays. 6 months ago

I know I fixed some and forgot to write it down, and I’d love to see some goals completed and not just progress. so let’s see if I can try to finagle something here.

17.)not sure if I added this, but my eyebrows. lol sounds vain but that was one thing I did when I first moved. I did them myself and made them what I wanted. for the most. and I think they’ve stayed that way for the most too. so it’s counting.

16.) I keep wanting to write things for this list. Like fixed the chair, fixed the water problem, fixed the vehicle, etc. but all that comes to mind is that I’m smiling more now. I think it’s clearly God that changed a lot of that and not me alone. but…. yes, I smile more now than I did 5 months ago. definitely. and alllll that was fixed besides that or given the chance to be fixed eventually…. just makes me take a deep breathe indeed. finally free TO breathe. and I need to remember like the line Kate posted long ago from a song, “keep your head above water, but don’t forget to breathe.” I can now, and I need, really really really need to embrace viciously almost all the freedoms I do have now because I know with all my heart what it cost… more than anyone else can know. I choose beauty, and I need to pursue beauty and creating it. or something like that. I choose laughter freely able. I choose quiet and no one yelling at me. I choose color. :) instead of grey. I choose spiritual freedom instead of oppression. I choose…. because I was given a choice, and God gave me that second chance and life. this is it here and now… and like another song says, this is my life, and in more ways than before I am who I want to be. :)

wanting deeply to embrace and drench fully in that,
- embracing freedom unabandonly. that’s what I need and what I want. and I can still choose :) 6 months ago

well I’m sure I’ve probably near finished this goal only I haven’t written down things. I was too busy getting through life to document that much in detail about it I guess. :)

so. randomly whatever I can remember.

21.-19.) 3 health-related things I think. IF the reports came back accurately 3 different things are better after continued self-treatment like my doctor had shown me. It’s baffling so still waiting to hear the full analysis. One new thing is wrong, and I’m not sure if it’s a bigger deal or not. but those 3 count as being fixed for now I’ll say!

18.) curtains – didn’t have a way to put them up. do for now. both of them.

oh I’m sure there are so many more with surviving the old world and moving to the new. (hmmm and Jasmine’s voice just came to mind with a whole new world. sometimes I think it should be concerning how much Disney interweaves with my reality.) lol

oh well. will add when I remember i guess. 8 months ago

fixed the problem of people getting on my computer without my permission at that time. I don’t mind them using it. I’ve said so, but I do appreciate being asked each time it’s used. At least informed?!

_{no respect, I tell ya!}

so. voila, a new password has been initiated. they will have to ask permission each time now I believe. and why we play these childish games, is beyond me. 10 months ago

(and yes I’m counting 24 as the pot of tea. it’s my list, thank you. lol and we are moving this goal forward no matter how creatively we decide!)

23.) I fixed a chip in the polish on a nail. :) and now all 10 toes are wiggling back equally swathed in happy lively color…. no chips here. no siree. :) 10 months ago

the wisest thing to fix is a pot of tea…. and sometimes,... it fixes a lot more than any other efforts could.

((((cf))))
~ a loving steaming cup of :) 10 months ago

recently I’d have forgotten all together. These months nothing has seemed to be fixed and rather everything seems to have tried to come undone, including me.
however…. looking back over this time, this is what I can come up with:

26.) due to injuries had to reconfigure accessibility
25.) my spirits dived lower than a spirit can survive, and sure I didn’t do this alone. God must have helped. But I did make significant changes to protect my ripped up shredded spirits ferociously. and it helped. I’m still here to say so.

Somehow this goal seems to trivial in light of all that’s happened this year. In light of all that has been repaired or restored or at least protected from being further destroyed. The biggest thing that was fixed was that allll the demons of life raining down at once no longer have the same power. Somehow when you hit rock bottom and start digging lower, when you start to climb out of the pit, you just feel like nothing that was as scary going in, is quite as scary going out. You’ve seen that nasty thing before, and while it’s still nasty, it doesn’t have to cling to you as you brush by.

not sure I’m wording it right, and sure I’m scared that with future changes all tenuous equilibrium could go ker-splat…. but we’re not there yet. we don’t know what will happen. and we don’t know that the same mistakes will be made or the same out-of-the-blue horrors could enter the picture.

sometimes, just sometimes, there is freedom in not knowing. who’d have thought huh :) 11 months ago

and if I don’t keep track of it when I do, I’ll finish this goal and not even know it.

28.) patched up a toy for a little child
27.) repaired a clothing item – required different threading and needles than I’d used before. 16 months ago

29.) fixed the clasp on my pocket-sized travel Bible…. all by myself. lol it’s the little things. ;)

_{now let’s hope it doesn’t fall off this week!!! haha}18 months ago

repaired another clothing item. simple really, but I never used to do stuff like that. I’m finding three things 1.) that sewing is oddly soothing for your mind, you just do it, feel productive but still domestic, and dream away. 2.) I’m not that good at sewing anything that can be seen. lol 3.) they lie. nobody needs only one thimble. 19 months ago

fixed rip in the outfit I got on a super bargain last year because of said rip. We’ll see if it falls apart when I try it on. lol hopefully not! 20 months ago

that if I could just self-heal like in a video game, I would have this goal finished in a second. lol 21 months ago

repaired a clothing item – who knew needle and thread could be so handy. :P

32.) repainted phone cover: it didn’t turn out perfectly, but it should serve the purpose anyway. 22 months ago

36. and yes this is counts.
I sewed a hole in an outfit, therefore I “fixed” it.

lol :)

Edit:

35.) Sewed the patch in the cushion that has become so familiar I think of it as “oh the cushion with the stuffing peeking out.” lol no more… he is now whole. :)

34.) hemmed! no more safety pins keeping things at non-tripping lengths. :) lol 23 months ago

40.) one chair
39.) another chair
38.) yet another
37.) yes another chair

cheap to count them separately. I know. but as long as they don’t break, I’m totally counting each one for this goal, or I’ll never make it to completion.

I’m not Rosie the Riveter!

yet anyway. ;)
~ cf 23 months ago

41.) “fixed” window problem (okay so it wasn’t a repair as such, but it was still a problem that I fixed, right????)
