Let me start of by saying - this year sucks. We'll be halfway through on Wednesday. It sucks to look back and think "cool. six months of the year are gone. two of them were fine. four of them sucked." What's even worse than that is knowing that the next six of this year are likely to continue to be pretty crappy.
Without further adu, let's see where we are on this goals list. BLAH.
1. Leave the country at least once. - THIS IS NOT LOOKING PROMISING. Dammit.
2. Run the Chicago Marathon and beat my time from 2009. Just waiting on them to cancel. I've already planning on not running because I don't want to do a watered down version of it.
3. Take Owen on another mother/son trip. This is still in the realm of possibility... we'll see.
4. Keep working on strength and yoga classes (goal is 4X of each per week) Strength A+++ I've done probably 200+ classes this year already. Yoga... abysmal fail.
5. Do at least one major house project to get it over with! Likely O's bathroom. We refinanced the house and for the same payment we were able to pull out about half of what we need. That plus some aggressive savings means that we're getting ready to gut the kitchen, laundry room, powder room, O's bathroom and do some of the not so glamorous stuff like re-piping the entire house and reinforcing our attic.
6. Date night once a month in Houston. I think we've actually been managing this???? YES.
7. Figure out better sleep habits with the Whoop. Sleep? HA. To be fair, I was doing really well with it before COVID so I'll give myself some grace on that one.
8. Get back to 2017 fighting weight and eating habits. EPIC EPIC EPIC FAIL. I've come real close to gaining the Covid 19.
9. Start budgeting every month with discipline. I didn't do well with this but I am ready for you July. We now have a car payment that I will attack with vigor.
10. Astros away game in Atlanta. WAHHHHH.
11. Go somewhere completely new. Fingers crossed we can go to Panama City Beach in September (rescheduled from May) so I can get this one.
12. Galleria staycation at Christmas and summer at the Marquis. Summer is not looking great at the moment... we. will. see.
13. Do something creative, even if it's just one of those drunk painting places. Yeah. They're all closed. Add to the list of I will do it if I can.
14. Take Owen to College Station. We were scheduled to go in April. Sad day. I might take him in the fall if the kids are back on campus.
15. Meet Pelo peeps at HRI and hopefully meet Jess Sims or Matt Wilpers! DOOOONNNNNNEEEEE CHECK CHECK AND CHECK! NAILED IT!
16. Continue to learn to be a better listener, you know, talk less, smile more. Nope.
17. Let's try this again. 3/4 fruits or veggies with every meal. So far so terrible.
18. Do something really fun for my birthday since it's A) on a Saturday and B) the big 3-9! All I want for my birthday, Christmas, all the everything is an effective vaccine!
19. Reorganize things I can change at work. I think this is going well ish.
20. Figure out my new retirement savings situation. Work in progress. On the positive side, Peloton stock tripled since we bought it. WOOT.
