Small Goals // April 2021

Welcome back to my very scaled back goals for 2021! Let’s see how I did this March before diving into April.

1. Sign up for Libro.fm. Done! When you sign up, you can choose to support Libro.fm’s network of independent sellers or a particular bookstore. Right now, my funds are going to Apostle Islands Booksellers.
2. Clean and repaper our kitchen cupboards. Nope! How long will my fancy Caraway cookware hang out in its box until I do this? FOREVER.
3. Work on an Easter cross stitch pattern. Done!
4. Go on more lunchtime walks. I did go on a lot of walks this month and even did an online workout.
5. Clean the den. Sort of, but not really to my satisfaction.

3/5. Considering how chaotic March was, I’m OK with only hitting three goals. I’ve been spending a lot of time helping my family this month, so not everything at home can get done. That’s OK. A good thing that happened this March that I didn’t plan on (but desperately hoped for) was getting my first COVID shot. That feels great.

For April, I’m still going to go easy on the goals. My parents are in need of a lot of extra help right now, so they are my first priority. These goals are a bit lower on the list, but I still like having something to think on for the month.

1. Visit Wind Point Lighthouse. This is a little birthday excursion that Michael and I have planned. Wind Point Lighthouse is just down in Racine, so it’ll be a nice day trip.
2. Master this baby bunny Bundt pan. I bought this super cute Nordic Ware Bundt pan. I gave it a go a few weeks ago with only one fully intact bunny. I want to bake up a dozen more for Easter with a higher success rate.
3. Plant a few trillium plants. I’ve been holding onto a few plants until after the last frost. Here’s hoping frost is over for the season real soon.
4. Start using my Caraway cookware. This was a Christmas gift. Time to finally put these very nice pots and pans to use.
5. Celebrate my second vaccine dose. After my first shot, I treated myself to a shake at Don’s. I think a little (or maybe big) treat will be well deserved after the second. It’s been a long haul! (There’s still more to go, but a treat always helps.)

Alright, that’s all for now! I’ll see you soon with more about what I read last month.
