ROW80 – 2024 – Round 1 – Check-in 8 (March, 3rd 2024)
Hi everyone!
Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year and beyond. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan.
My word for the week is IMPROVEMENT.
As my health got better, so did my mood and the rest just followed. I still think my treatment is messing up my body, since I’ve had a couple of tendinites, but given how bad I felt after missing a few meds, that’s a minor setback.
It does mean I could not move around normally so I have to be realistic about sanding the wooden floor: it won’t happen this month.
By the end of January

Round Goals
The sleeping bags are about halfway and it was actually quite nice teaching the girls how to sew by hand (next step is a handheld sewing machine I’ve just ordered and which I’ll also need to learn how to use ^^; ).
The shape is a bit strange because, as it turns out, fleece moves quite a lot while you sew. But I’m sure Barbie won’t mind. XD

Yearly goals
The girls are on a break so the focus is on crafting and sorting.
I’ve also rearranged a few things and added a new improvement to come at home: a mezzanine bed for the girls. For a moment, I hesitated between your basic Ikea solution (cheap but with a ladder) and an actual industrial mezzanine with stairs (quite pricy, so that meant waiting for at least a year to save up and clarify the property’s status with my ex), but then I found a perfect in-between mezzanine bed. Of course it’s more expensive than the Ikea version but it’s sturdy metal and it has stairs, yet it’s more affordable than building an actual mezzanine in the room.
It’s a two-people job so I’ll have to see when my dad’s available to help. I figured autumn would work best for him, so for now, it’s on my yearly goals for November, probably after the girls and I come back from our little trip (I’m waiting for their IDs and then I’ll make the reservations ^^).
