April Goals
Sometimes do you just sit there and go over your month and say, "Wow, what the hell happened?"
Yeah, that was April for me.
Personal
Clear out my office- nope.
Get the kittens adopted- Still nope.
Start making room in the house for BFF move in- Started but not enough to cross it out
Clean up the yards- Also kinda, but not enough to count
Start walking the pups- We managed one week before we had to pause because Almond's arm pit got rubbed raw from pulling
Work
Update Resume/Business Cards- NOPE
At least 2 comics/2 blogs a week- Noooooooope
Write 2 chapters- lol no
Launch Enamel Pin Kickstarter!- Finally got something done! You can find it here!
Prepare for Mermay- Kinda, but it's gonna count cause Mermay is today and I at least made a prompt list
Optional
Complete 4% diet bet goal!- Made it! Made a whole $11 haha
Read a book- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Stick with weekly coffee art days- yeah no
Yeah, that's a whole 3/13.
In my defense, I was wiped out sick for 5 days, had Ladies Night, meet and greets for animals, and an all day arts festival. Plus commissions. April was waaaaaaay busier than I thought and I am not at all happy with my progress.
I'm tired, overwhelmed, and have way too much to do. The house needs to be cleaned, Mermay is happening, I have to get two charity pieces done ASAP, and all I want to do is relax and read.
To top it off, our air conditioner is out AGAIN and I'm going to die of heat.
But hey, at least I lost 10 lbs -_-
Let's move on to May already
Personal
Clear out my office!!!
Re-pot some of the plants and clean the yard
Throw some clutter away
Cats adopted out
Work out 3 times a week
Work
Order new business cards
Get the Enamel Pins/Foil Print submitted for purchase
Complete at least 70% of Mermay
WRITE
Reprint/Restock merch
May is going to be for refreshing. Get the house back in order, get the shop back in order. Knock out the art I have to do, keep up with Mermay, but besides that I need to focus on breathing and getting everything in order. Decompress and refocus.
The Kickstarter is doing good and was a big thing that took up most of my time and I want to prep for having to get those orders all shipped out. I don't want to overdue art just because I'll be doing enough with Mermay. The only things I need to do is a couple of charity things and cleaning. Lots of cleaning.
I dropped the ball in April. I tried to do too much and then ended up not being able to do anything. So let's try again and do better :)
