Weekly Goals

My local library has just started the Walk to Mordor challenge, an annual challenge in its fourth year. From Feb. 5th until Mar. 31st, participants try to walk a total of 500 miles (earning badges at certain mile markers) and this year the challenge includes reading logs, especially for "The Hobbit" and the LOTR trilogy. (Great excuse to read those again! Also, we can do other exercises than walking.)

So, here are my goals for this week:

*Read daily and update the reading log: keep track of the Kay Scarpetta novel series I'm reading (currently on book 8, "Unnatural Exposure") & "The Hobbit".

*Read the daily morning and evening readings and pray, according to the Anglican Calendar (ACNA. I seem to have finally found a church home for myself.)

*Go to my doctor appointment on Tuesday, as well as my writing class. (Turns out the teacher is going to be my sub for class on the same day, which is great!)

*Walk and/or do exercises to start gaining miles in the Walk to Mordor challenge. I'm not going to force myself to try to get all 500 miles. Last year, I did 259 miles in 60 days. That was tough enough.

*Prepare my students for next week's auditions and teach two new songs to my choirs.

*Play Sonic 3D Blast on the Sega Genesis and take photos as proof for the 52 week challenge for Sonic Stadium (an online Sonic fan community since 2004. I've been a long time member, on and off.)

*Keep journaling/reminding myself of all the progress I've made in therapy, and in changing my mindset/viewpoint. It's done wonders.

*Do some free writing this week and see what comes of it, and work on whatever is assigned in writing class.

*Keep abstaining from alcohol for health reasons and because you can! And buy non-alcoholic drinks for Superbowl Sunday.

That's enough for this week!
