1st Quarter Progress on 20 in 2020

January and February Me felt so on top of things - I was getting through my project list, we had gone on dates, things were GETTING DONE.  Then...the world came screeching to a halt with the Corona Virus.  So progress isn't where I'd like it to be but far from the worst part of staying at home.  Bonus, the stimulus check we should be getting will help cross a few furniture items off the list!  Here's where we are, 2.5 regular months and .5 Corona months in:

Home related
1) Figure out over the dining table (10%)
I've figured it out!  We are getting a light and Matt installed the third white ceiling fan in my office.  But I haven't picked the light yet.
 
2) Replace end table (5%)
Nope but we have settled on a design and it's next on Matt's "to build" list after the kitchen table I didn't know he was planning to build.
 
3) Replace night stands (0%)
It's on Matt's list to build this year but he doesn't have enough wood for these like he does the kitchen table and end table so I'm not sure when these will get done.  He has some time now but not the supplies!

4) Replace nightstand lamps (0%)
Waiting on the above night stands to be done before I seriously shop for lamps.


5) Replace bed frame (0%)
This is one that might get expedited with that government check.  We'll see!
 
6) Put in sandbox for the boys (0%)
We've talked about it and the process of getting it done but haven't done any work.  Also, it's cold right now.


7) Add lights to the backyard (0%)
Ditto.


8) Organize Luke's Legos (0%)
This is one I reallllly wanted addressed soon since Matt's office is a mess of Legos but I'm not sure how much progress we can make with quarantine.  Maybe I can at least determine what the solution might be for when we can freely shop again.


Nagging Tasks
9) Clean converse sneakers (95%)
I literally just did this this morning!  I didn't give myself 100% since they are still very wet.  The washing machine didn't clean them as much as I had hoped but it's still an improvement!

10) Figure out how to use Fitbit (100%)
Yes!  I did this and am wearing it right now!  I just don't always remember to wear it but I'm getting better.  Man, I'm rarely hitting 10,000 steps since I'm rarely leaving my house.


11) Renew passports (0%)
This was on the calendar for last week on Matt's day off...then quarantine.  We were close-ish to getting this checked off!
 
12) Shorten our blind (0%)
I've told Matt this is something I really want to take care of over quarantine since we need next to no supplies.  So maybe this weekend?

13) Use face things (30%)
I used a Vitamin C serum to help with wrinkles but then, unrelated, I had some MAJOR allergy face sensitivity issues (enough that I went to the dermatologist right before we were on lock down) so I haven't used it more than a few times and I'm holding off on trying the other one I wanted to try.  But I did do one!


14) Meet our neighbors (0%)
Maybe I can do this over quarantine?  Meet them from 6 feet away?


Fun(ish)
15) Replace my standard cross-body bag (5%)
I think I have one picked out.  That's small progress!




16) Go on 6 dates (17%)
We went on one in January and had a second on the calendar for March, sitter lined up and everything, and then quarantine.  I don't know when we'll be able to do this again but we were doing well!  To be a date it has to be out of the house, without our kids, and without anyone we know (we did a church trivia night in February but doesn't count because we were at a table of family). 

17) Order 5 photobooks (60%)
Killing this one.  Ordered our last year's Michigan vacation and 2019 yearbook both in January and Sam's second year just a couple weeks ago (we don't even have it yet, still in transit).  I'm getting close on having Luke's finished so it'll be ready to order once the right coupon code comes up!

 
18) Start allowance with Luke (5%)
We have the cash on hand for this but are holding back on the allowance until two particular behaviors improve/stop. 


19) Travel map (0%)
Another one I need to put some thought into during quarantine!  And I think I have mostly worked out in my head what I'd like, just need to find it.  But I'm also contemplating rearranging a lot of wall decor in our downstairs so haven't fully figured out where this will go.




20) Paint star background for Christmas nativity (0%)
This is definitely a fall/early winter activity!

One quarter of the year in and I'm at a 16.35% completion rate.  Well, I think quarantine can be blamed for some of that but also, I need to get my rear in gear on the ones I can make progress on right now!  Making these updates always help with that!
