And here's the To-Do List for 2019. Major goal this year is to start making serious efforts to replace things that need replacing.
HOUSEHOLD MAINTENANCE
2) I need to fix the garage door. Which means I really need to get someone out to look at it, update the radio signal to a new code for a new set of garage door remotes, and to fix/ repair the track/ lever thing. Or replace the track and door.
3) I need to repair – or more likely, replace – the outside door to the kitchen.
4) I also need to replace the one window in my living room that’s cracked. It’s possible this will be part of a set replacement, but it completely depends on what I can do at the time.
5) I have a number of outside outlets, and outlets in the kitchen, that do not work. I need to get those fixed.
6) I need to get the door to my bedroom fixed. This *will* be a replacement, because although the door is new, it was hung in-correctly.
7) I need to repair the light above roomie’s vanity.
8) I need to fix the window casings where the prior owner’s dog chewed on them. This may end up being done in conjunction with an update on casements.
HOUSEHOLD UPDATES
1) Finish the office updates, which includes:
b) sand/ paint the shelving
c) determine what to do about old card catalog, and enter all books into the new incarnation.
3) I need to primer-paint the bathrooms.
5) I want to get window film for the windows, and also wood casing updates, and curtains. This is an expensive project that will probably be put off until most of the rest of the stuff is done.
5a. I keep forgetting, but this has to wait until I replace the windows. There's currently ugly lattice-work in the windows, which are double-hung jobs. My preference is for German-style windows: unmarred glass, single-hung windows that swing in or out. This will probably need new casements, too, but we'll see.
6) Yes, I’d like to update the kitchen, but that will probably have to wait a while. what's left: cabinets, new appliances, backsplash, new counter-top
7) It is more likely I will be able to paint the master bedroom walls, ceiling, and stencil lines.
8) I also want a wall-mural of Neuschwannstein in winter (which can be done via wallpaper).
GARDEN PLANS
1) Build another box. Should go quicker this time
2) Mulch and place and pavers
3) Fill the boxes with soil
6) Seed the boxes with seeds bought from organic farmers.
7) Need to acquire a lawn/leaf bag to catch grass clippings for the compost pile
9) mulch mulch mulch
10) moveable fencing around garden.
LANDSCAPING
1) Price how much it would cost to turn the front ditch into a River Runs Through It
2) Work with Landscaper to generate a plan for my yard
3) Goal: retaining wall done by end of year.
4) Price out concrete for extra parking space.
5) All I need to do on the furnace patch is the capstones on the 2-stone high wall.
6) Goal: clear and mulch 20ft along the back fence.
7) Mowing upkeep, which at this point includes cutting up the three downed limb-tree-things and burning.
8) Rock the parking area.
SCA SKILL SETS
a) Since I did, indeed, put in the archery *lane* last year, my goal for this year is to dig out the rope and stakes so I can secure the target butt I also bought. And then, I can start practicing!
b) Find the in-work stumpwork piece i was working on, finish it, and enter it into at least one A&S contest. And also:
c) Remember to photograph the garden and the stumpwork as it is being completed.
STITCHING GALLERY
I’m rolling several stitching things this year (as usual). (most of the comments still apply...)
3) Try to make Dorsett buttons this year.
4) Finish another Mag7 Doggie
5) See if I can make more progress on the Christmas cardinals.
6) Laney's sampler (and no, I *didn't* set a single stitch on this last year, why do you ask?)
7) I'm really thinking about doing a 'narrative embroidery' and donating it to the Navy SEAL museum. Right now my goal on this is to decide on a cohesive narrative and draw said narrative out. It's likely that if I get this far, this piece will take over my life for a bit.
8) Finish deck of 52 cards for SCA
9) Finish Fuck Cancer stitchies
FANNISH ENDEAVORS
1) I still... have those two essays on writing to finish!
2) Finish Seventh Gift
3) See if I can't make progress on the TS cross-over
4) Upload stories to Dreamwidth, and AO3
5) Start Projects on:
a) LB!JD is actually a girl
b) Alternate Ending to 'Something Wicked'
6) Contact Seremela and talk to her about permission to post LMG, since this story depends so heavily on hers.
7) Finish slice-of-life stories
8) Finish Highlander-AU first 3 stories
9) The Bitter Glass (Green Day 'verse story)
PERSONAL ADMINISTRATION
1) Organize household items, including
a) disaster kit
2) Continue going through electric files: pitch/ keep/ organize
3) Make the database for my library
4)Maintain bill filing system
5) Convert VHS and audio tapes to updated platforms. (Contingent on buying platform converters)
6) Make a list of cyclical maintenance duties and times due.
7) pay good chunk of personal CC
HEALTH MAINTENANCE
Deleting the Kinnect-X, because to get it, I need to do OTHER THINGS first... and also the cross-fit. Gonna concentrate on the Treadmill thing this year. Not making surviving cancer a goal, because I intend to beat cancer's ass so hard, it'll hurt cancer's mother.
1) Concentrate on making the Treadmill excursions a habit, at least 2-3x a week.
Notes: Ideal weight-loss should be 1-2 pounds a week.
FURNITURE PROJECTS
1) Finish that silly chair!
a) make two matching wood sides (this is a dremel-project, and includes finding my tools... somewhere in the garage...)
2) Portable Floor system for SCA GW camping
WISHING THESE WISHES WERE MINE
1) Acquire Garden Software to help Plan Garden and Gardening Stages.
3) Acquire a VHS to DVD converter
4) An audio-tape to CD converter,
5) Replace professionally-produced products with the newer professionally-produced versions.
6) Buy a new tv
7) Buy an XBOX 360
8) Kinnect X
9) Consider buying a household organization software
10) Patio/Deck Design Software
11) Household Design Software
12) Get a calligraphy desk and comfortable chair
13) Get a cabinet for use in that area
14) computer desk kit
15) lawn-leaf bag for mower
16) tow-behind cart for mower
17) Rocking Chair
18) Ashley furniture set
19) Running boards, tonneau cover, and bed extender for Zeke
20) headboard
21) windows x 3 (for the living room)
22) Treadmill
23) potentially a tablet or netbook
24) Filing cabinet that can handle plastic magazine files...
25) Single folding cot for SCA camping
So, we got some new stuff, and got rid of some old stuff, which is about the way it's supposed to be.
