I don’t usually do seasonal goals and I wasn’t planning to now either, but this year has gone so fast that I feel like I need to have some specific things to tick off for the rest of it to avoid feeling like I’ve done absolutely nothing for the entire year. Also, these are technically “rest of 2019” goals since winter won’t end until the end of March and I don’t feel like planning my life out that far in advance. But autumn/winter goals sounded better. I’m rambling… I’ll just get on with it shall I?
- Finish making Halloween cards for Post Pals – I have 10 so far, I need 40.
- Make autumn cards for Post Pals families that prefer not to receive Halloween cards. I need 3 this year.
- Get at least three quarters of my family/friends Christmas cards made before December (instead of staying up late rushing to finish them in the last few weeks before Christmas!)
- Send Christmas cards to all Post Pals families.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer re-watch! (We’ve already started.)
- Read It by Stephen King
- Spookathon in October and Believathon in November.
- Make crumble again (I made one last weekend and it was delicious. And it’s so easy – I don’t know why I don’t make it more often)
- Bake muffins
- Bake some kind of Christmas biscuit
- Sort out the spare room (which currently looks more like a storage room!)
- Sort out the shelving things in the dining area. Basically we currently have the shelf things below. We want to take the left-hand part to the cellar and keep just the right-hand part for now (which will be moved more into the corner). That means I need to get everything off the part on the left. Eventually the plan is to replace the whole thing with a nicer cabinet/unit but that won’t be happening this year.
- Get the huge bag of books that are waiting to go to free public bookshelves empty.
- Sort out craft stuff and clear the desk that is currently covered in half my supplies.
- Show my cousin and her boyfriend round Basel (they are visiting in November).
- Day trip with my cousin and her boyfriend – decide where to go.
- Take a day trip by myself while I’m off work in October/November.
- Go to at least one Christmas market.
- Take my annual autumn photos by the stream on 31st October.
- Go to the pub quiz at least once more this year.
- Respond to all pen pal letters I’ve received up to today. (I’m making no guarantees about ones that arrive throughout the next few months though…)
That’s all I can think of for now. And this actually already seems like a lot, so let’s hope I manage to achieve them all! What are your plans for the rest of the year?
