Habit Tracking: Week 31 (July 27 - August 02)

This week I used my Malayan tapir sticker in the hopes of summoning the tapir at the zoo. It worked! (Sticker by featherbone)

This week was pretty good. I did get a lot of my intended goals done. We had a good time on my days off, and while work felt extremely busy, it was fine. I did get some writing done, though on reviews and goal-setting, not on fiction. I was glad that I finished a couple books, even if I did so at the very end of the month! Bella had a good week, in that she got two new AKC titles: the first level of Canine Good Citizen and the first level for Trick Dog. The week felt quite productive overall, though there are a few things I should try harder to do next week.

Goals for the week:

• I did finish reading Night's Edge
• I wrote up my reviews of the books I read in July
• I did my getyourwordsout check in: 5260 words written in July, bringing my ytd to 76077, which means I've hit my goal of 75k written (just very little has been on fiction writing)
• We visited the zoo
• We signed our lease for the next year (even if the rent increase makes me want to cry)
• I put my laundry away
• I made some necessary phone calls
• I sort of started updating my reading page, but didn't get very far
• I did look at the OTW election candidates, reading their platforms and their Q&As
• I did not work on my idea inventory
• I put together my August tracking grids
• I stopped by my mom's house
• I started reading Uprooted
• I set my writing goals for August
• I cleaned up Berry Mad's pond and plant
