Goals 2020 -- July Recap

I had three goals for July; updates are below.

1. Polish silver jewelry.  Met and exceeded!  Not only did I polish my jewelry, but I also polished all my other silver as well.
2. Back up and clear out my phone.  Miserable fail.  S and I share a computer, and he has been busy using it for many of his own projects.  I will commandeer it at some point in August.
3. Make a budget. Mixed bag.  I have gotten as far as I can get based on the information that I have, and am awaiting some info from outside sources before continuing.

July was, overall, a fairly slow month for me.  I struggled to be productive at work, as you all can see I blogged basically not at all, and I have many projects around the house that are partially finished, movies half watched, and so on.  I'm unsure if this is due to the oppressive heat that we dealt with, or that I'm growing tired of quarantine, or a mental block that has developed for some other reason.

S, on the other hand, has been quite productive.  He has been working on the van, making phone calls and taking care of business, painted and reorganized the whole garage, and did some cleanup in the basement as well.

Happy 4th!

One of my favorite things to hear every year around this time is the reading of the Declaration of Independence by NPR's reporting staff.  Have a listen.

Goals 2020 -- July Edition

Well, we've started bringing some folks back to my office.  It's an alternating schedule, and I'm still in the group that gets to work from home if I want to. 

There is still so much that I had on my quarantine list which I haven't done yet!  Most of it is little stuff, but I think being able to cross them off will make me feel better.  So, here are the very judgable goals:
1. Polish silver jewelry.
2. Back up and clear out my phone.
3. Make a budget.

How do these fit in with my goal of Clearing My Mind, Simplifying My Life?  As long as I can get them done, then I just won't have to think about them anymore.  But that's a big "as long as...."
