List Changes

I'm going through a new life plan right now and that means some things need to be changed on the old list. This also means that the list will be out of order now as I add the deleted numbers into places where they fit better.

OLD 31. Open a new location - deleted
NEW 31. Get a full time job.

OLD 32. Update business blog bi-weekly.
NEW 32. Update business blog monthly.

OLD 45. Complete Small Business Administration Course - deleted
new 45. Get a pedicure at least once a year (0/2)
old 46. Complete another course related to running the business
New 46. Save at least $50 each month.

List Update

I was just looking over my list and was pretty impressed with how many things I've done.

My list stats:

22 completed items
33 other items that have in some way been worked on

That means that there are only 46 items that I've done nothing with and I still have quite a good amount of time left to do them.

COMPLETED - 3. Finalize divorce

I'm not really going to say much about this one, but since it was on my list of 101 things to do I know I needed to mention that as of yesterday this one is completed.

One Completed - 59. Get regular hair cuts every 2 months

Ok, so it was 4 months this time, but I at least got a hair cut.

Before:
After:

ONE COMPLETED - 91. Donate at least one bag of clothes twice a year.

Last night I dropped off 3 bags of clothes to the local clothing bins. It felt good to be back in the habit of donating clothes and also to get some things out of my closet.

COMPLETED - #23 Open a Personal Savings Account

After I received my first paycheck last week, I had a few things I wanted to do with it. One was take G out to dinner for our six month-aversary and as a thank you for everything he's done for me since we met. Sadly, that didn't happen since he has an injury so it will be put off until next week. Another was get my hair cut. Again, that didn't happen yet and is scheduled for next week (so another item checked off the list then). I also did a little much needed shopping to supplement the wardrobe for work and therefore now have 3 bags of clothes to be donated sitting in the back of the truck. The most important task I had though was to open a savings account. I've had them in the past, but never actually managed to keep money in them. I think I've learned a lot though from my self-imposed poverty this last year and want to try again. So I did it, I opened a personal savings account with a starting balance of $35. It isn't much, but I'm at least hoping to have a few hundred by Christmas.

COMPLETED - 68. Try at least one new food

Tonight G made me eat Chinese food. I had fried rice, sweet & sour chicken sans sweet & sour sauce, some beef and snow peas, and something with egg and beef. The only thing that was relatively passable as food was the chicken and that was only after I dunked it in BBQ sauce. I did eat the rice, but didn't really like it.

At least I tried and now G will never make me eat it again.
