End of Year Update

[glinda]

I had such good intentions in September but...yeah no. I only managed two things this quarter, one of which was literally by the skin of my teeth in the last couple of days - though the other one had been a long term project finally coming to fruition. I'm currently at that frustrating stage with a lot of the things on my list sitting at half or three quarters done. So really I need to focus on finishing those things because if I could just finish all my 'in progress' items I'd have a respectable total. I guess that should be my target for 2019, finishing all the started things.

No. Items Completed: 26
