Looking Ahead to 2022 - Day 19

[Granny_Weatherwax]

Things I Will Begin in 2022

[Eos]

My last year of homeschooling.  

College search and apps with my youngest.

 

[Ditto]

Gosh this one is hard for me.

Things I will begin:

My last full calendar year of homeschooling (teen graduates in 2023).  

Maintenance once I hit my goal weight (which is a moving target right now so I am not sure exactly how much more I plan to lose before declaring goal).

Hopefully a very part time job.

Ideally a regular exercise routine.

My last year of homeschooling, though Dd will be largely outsourced.

College application process 

Hopefully, a full time job, to help pay for college.

[marbel]

A reread of Dante's Divine Comedy, along with related books to help me better understand/appreciate it.

A wild meadow garden in part of our backyard - really part of an ongoing process to have a more wildlife/pollinator-friendly yard instead of useless lawn. 

A decent herb garden and not just a few random pots of mint and basil. 

A new job search. In 2018 I had to return to work after 20+ years at home, and got a job in a customer service call center. I got complacent with thinking it was temporary, and then working from home due to Covid which is convenient. But at this point I've about had it and even though I would like to retire, I will start searching for something less stressful.

Kitchen renovation that's been postponed for almost 2 yrs due to covid

A vegetable garden

A serious exercise routine

A serious purge of the garage

[lewelma]

A Masters in Environmental Science. 

Māori classes (I've been self studying all year but only written. These classes will focus on oral language skills.)

[mom31257]

Bullet journaling (I might need some good tips/advice, @Granny_Weatherwax.)

Hopefully, a new full-time or really good paying part-time job to help pay for college 

Healthier eating 

Regular exercise

[dirty ethel rackham]

New job.

Kitchen renovation (before all of our appliances break, I hope!)

Declutter my living room and family room - getting rid of some kids toys that were overlooked in the last purge and some books and papers from school.  

Better sleep habits.  I struggle with insomnia if I have an early start.  With my new job, I may have to pick up an evening shift getting home at midnight and then turning around to start at 8 the next morning.  I need to learn to fall asleep faster.

I am writing all of these down to work on later - thanks so much for posting these prompts.

For me:

Putting me first - no one else does so I need to start 🙂

Start college search and final homeschool year planning (x2 - twins)

Remodel my master bathroom so we can use it again (summer project hopefully)

I'm going to do the 1000 Hours outside. I think I spend that much time outside but I've never tracked the hours before and I'm curious to see how close I can get.

I'm going to go solo camping. It's not really a new beginning as I did it a lot when I was prepping for the AT.  My gear is sitting there and I'm either going to use it or sell it.

I need a new job so a job search will begin.

[Slache]

Working out regularly.

Traveling.

Teaching content subjects from a box. 😱

[DreamerGirl]

Scuba Diving ? Bucket list item

Learn to play an instrument. I would love piano.

Possibly Full time, most certainly more work.

Take kids to visit family overseas.

[Guest]

Working on my writing weekly. 
 

Hopefully, planning my next Europe trip. 
 

I’ll be paying the last semester of college tuition for ds22; hopefully he will begin a “real” job.

Things I will begin in 2022:

["will" may mean "I sure freaking hope so" for some items]

"Begin" also might not mean really begin - it might mean resume or do a better job of something I tried to "begin" in the past.

Myself:

• Daily morning yoga (again ... I had done this in the past but lost it somewhere).  Also keeping up with my daily vitamins and a few other things that have slipped.
• Daily physical activity and training with the dog - walk(s) and/or active play.  (Been doing this most days, but I don't want to skip any more.)
• Really try to sneak some music playing in somehow, at least 2 or 3 times a week if possible.
• Being more proactive with work and personal responsibilities.  Keeping my work inbox to 1 page or less if at all possible.

Re my kids:

• Officially teaching my kids to drive and hopefully pass the driver's test.  (Though Kid2 won't be 16 until January 2023.)
• Getting serious about preparing for college admissions.  We're not going for fancy colleges, but I'd like their ACT/SAT to reflect their abilities.
• Find ways to make them see their intrinsic value.
