Last week’s goals with progress indicated:

• Knit 1 or more wedge of Aranami.
  Nope. I didn’t pick it up at all.
• Do the math to figure out the stitch count for the fronts & back of Aspen since I’m doing a shorter version. I have the vague idea that the cabling should start around where the belt loops (which I’m not doing according to pattern) go.
  Done, reluctantly and finally yesterday.
• Go to TKD twice.
  Done! Testing for my yellow and orange belts this week like a superstar. Just need to learn how to count to 30 in Korean.
• Add more pictures to Society 6 and let my FB people know.
  Done, except for the self-promotion; I hate tooting my own horn this way.
• Decide yes/no on NaPoWriMo and yes/no on 100 day project (likely writing) since April is Saturday, the start day for both.
  Yes. But I didn’t start Saturday, or even Sunday, I’m starting today. And also, I’m making my own personal rules for NaPoWriMo; I get to edit and revise if I choose rather than writing a new poem each day while still keeping it interesting for readers (assuming I have some), which means not working on the same piece 983498372 days in a row.
• Come up with a good (not completely awful and humiliating) April Fool’s joke to play on Ky & the boys. Or, alternately, rise above it/go into full denial and just call it April 1.
  I didn’t come up with a big benign prank and none were played on me if I only count people I know IRL. April Fools is my least favorite holiday.
• Start a cat cave for Jeff (and later, one for Eevee) since he likes his improvised one so much:
  Done – the scant details are on Ravelry. They both like the cat cave and have attacked each other in it. Gotta make one for Eevee or make a proper mat/blanket for the cat tree Ky made.

Next week:

• Knit 1 or more wedge of Aranami.
• Cast on the fronts of Aspen.
• Go to TKD twice – once for practice, once for testing.
• Learn to count in Korean from 11-30 (I already know 1-10).
• Add more pictures to Society 6 and let my FB people know.
• Replace the blog link in Instagram with a link to Socitey 6. And since I’m on the subject, replace etsy shop link in @madgeface twitter account with link to this.
• Write or work on a poem a day. I’m going to be doing separate posts for this; my apologies if poetry isn’t your thing. I have no expectation that anyone will read the poems but rather am posting for personal accountability.

 

Last week’s goals with progress indicated:

• Knit 3 or more wedges of Aranami.
  Not done – I got caught up in cables and finishing the Aspen sleeves, so I only managed 1 last night.
• Start sleeve cap shaping on Aspen sleeves.
  Done. Started and finished – the sleeves are done. See?

• Go to TKD twice.
  Done – I went thrice.
• Add more pictures to Society 6 and let my FB people know.
  Done. Maybe I should replace the blog link in Instagram with a link to S6? And since I’m on the subject, maybe replace etsy shop link in @madgeface twitter account with link to this.

I also started an exercise challenge, egged on by my old roller derby buddies and an article in Runner’s World: 30 burpees (full burpees, with pushups) for 15 days. Today will be day 7 since we started last Tuesday. I pulled or strained something in my shoulder so it aches at rest and hurts when I turn my neck. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep going or not – is the pain just my body getting used to doing pushups again or did I really pull something? (Can you tell I’m putting off today’s 30 burpees by writing about them instead?)
