afterallthistimeRather belated outline of my week, made more for me than you guys, honestly. It's nice to look back and see if I've finished what I set out to do, or to know that perhaps I need an extra kick in the pants for next week.
♥ GYM. Gym, gym, gym. I gained 2.5 lbs. back, and while I'm trying not to be obsessive and weird about my weight, I'm irritated, not because my weight fluctuated, but because I know it's a direct result of my choices - i.e., ice cream, junky between-meal snacks, Chinese take-out (twice), and no gym this whole past week. I indulged, and I'm not going to beat myself up over it retro-actively, but I do have to take responsibility and get back on track. My new goal is 150, and I'm determined to reach it, if nothing else, by year's end.
♥ Take a break from A Song of Ice and Fire and read something slightly less dense - finished A Game of Thrones, finally, after forever (because I was only reading it during downtime at work), and really enjoyed it, but I think I want a breather before I jump back in. I'm going to raid my mom's bookshelf this week and pick out one or two light reads to keep me in the "reading mood" while still giving me some respite.
♥ Finish pricing out Christmas gifts. As I said, early start, but I'm handmaking this year, and I have some wonderful ideas that should be both inexpensive and really, really enjoyable for both myself and the recipents. Tangentially related, I need to find a pattern for a nice crocheted men's hat and/or unisex fingerless gloves (if anyone knows of any, awesome; also, please note I can crochet with fair proficiency, but I can't knit to save my life).
♥ DMV on Wednesday to renew my permit. I don't do much driving, in part because I hate this stupid car, but now that we're actively saving for a new one, I'd like to be able to legally drive it. I'd like to take the road test around Thanksgiving, if possible.
♥ Start watching Supernatural, another one of those shows that I am saturated with on Tumblr, and was bombarded by at MJ, but never really watched. Everyone seems to be enamoured with it, though, so I feel like I'm completely out of the loop having never seen it. Is it on Netflix Instant, or will I have to stream it form somewhere, ahem, slightly less legal? I also want to watch Firefly, but my husand owns the entirety of that on DVD, so that's not a problem.
♥ Clean out my computer - the Downloads folder and My Documents are just crammed full of random crap - .rar files of full albums where I only wanted one or two songs, Tumblr .gifs, text documents full of old song lyrics and scraps of poetry, webapges I downloaded for various classes, half finished batches of icons, etc. I need to slavage what can be salavaged, finsih what needs to be finished, and discard the rest. Hopefully free up sme space on my computer and let it run a little smoother in addition to just being more organized.
♥ Give the house a good cleaning. House is picked up, I mean really scrub it down. I'll probably aim to do thise in stages after work this week. Bathroom takes priority today, since I also need to contact landlords about the fact that the faucet in the tub has decided to simply not completely shut off anymore. I don't want them coming in to work in a dirty bathroom.
♥ Figure out ditribution for the last $45ish of the monthly "household goods" budget. There are somethings I want that will come out of pocket, and some that I'll take directly out of that budget (i.e., a new broom will come out of household goods; storage baskets for the bathroom will likely come out of my money).
♥ Price out my own monthly budget. I want Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets, number one. What else I want to do I've yet to determine.
♥ Long weekend up in Derry, doing engagement photos for my sister and her fiance. Which reminds me, I still need details as to the when, where, and what else we'll be doing, since this will also be a social visit.
Wow, that's... overwhelmingly long. But, at least it's there. And I can consult it. And hopefully do it, before next Sunday.
