I don’t have j represented on my main list as of right now. I don’t know if I’ll put a different j on my list. I think I’ll just see how it feels for awhile.

I moved my original u to the done side, but I still have a u remaining on the main list.

D, m, and s are quite popular for me…but none of those can be moved to “done” or “give up”!
