Arguing with myself and ooh! Shiny!

–Prep book bibles for Blood Oath, Masquerade, and Bingo
I sort of did these? I printed everything up and I put them in the binders, but I still need to actually create the content. Next month I’ll be working on Blood Oath and another story, competing in OctoPrep on Writing.com

–Post weekly on Vocal (article or story)
I more than completed this. I posted every Monday and also submitted to a couple of challenges. Decided to not wait to post those.

–Read at least one thing daily on Vocal
I didn’t read every day, but I had some spurts where I read a whole bunch of stories or poems. I’d like to keep this up because between my reading and my social media presence, I now have 14 subscribers on Vocal!

Life

–D&D at least twice (there are 4 weekends in September, I’d really like to make 3 of the 4)
I managed all 3 of the weekends I had available. There was no way I could make the one weekend I missed because that was my birthday and we went out to Medieval Times for my birthday.

–Donations to Valley Missions
I got them out almost the same weekend I made the decision. I’m sure there will be a lot more that I want to donate, but I haven’t had time to go through everything.

–Finish removing the mounting hardware for the TV
I honestly forgot about this goal. I will probably work on it in November.

–Create and stick to a cleaning schedule (bathroom, floors, dishes, etc)
I got a schedule written up for the bathroom and completed the first three weeks, but didn’t do the floors. I’m going to have to adjust next month because I won’t be home most weekends.

Work

–Finish theme for Robotics
We know what we’re doing, but need to make the final decisions.

–Finish at least three bookcases of inventory/weeding (not counting the half done one)
Not only did I finish the half-done shelf, I completed half the fiction. I inventoried, weeded, and shuffled the books into dynamic shelving. I’m super excited about how it looks and the kids are checking out books they’ve never seen before!

–Complete lessons, books, and slideshows for October (if not more) I didn’t finish this. I know what I’m going to do, I have the books scanned, but I haven’t finished the slideshows or lessons.

–Make a plan for the book fair (also ask about Financial Literacy Night) I mainly have a plan and I’ve made arrangements for the fair to be open on Financial Literacy Night.
