Habit Tracking: Week 01 (January 01 - January 07)

[mistressofmuses]

Starting off the year with a spooky black witch moth (with extra creepy details like human eyes and hands in the pattern, ha). The "melanistic"/darker colors variant.

New year, and a new tracking notebook:

This is the notebook Alex got me for Xmas - so I can make all the gay agenda jokes I want. :)

This was a pretty good week, though it felt a bit unsettled. I still felt "behind" or like I hadn't really gotten "ready" for the new year. Which is silly, of course, because it's an arbitrary line, and not a lot actually *changed*. But I did feel pretty positive through most of the week, feeling good about goals set and the aspects of my routine that have changed: eating lunch at work, making coffee at home, etc. lol. While I didn't do much in terms of my big goals set for the year, I did well on several smaller ones.

Goals for the week:
- Alex and I continued housesitting for my mom/Taylor through Tuesday
- I did get the habit tracker set up!
- I posted Chapter 14 of All Strange Wonders
- We did a load of laundry
- I got one of the two loads put away
- I did start my new work schedule (half an hour earlier, enforced half-hour break)
- I forgot to update my insurance with my pharmacy, but nothing significant had changed so it didn't matter
- I made some edits to my Set Sail zine fic
- I made three Snowflake posts: [#1 - fandom info] [#3 - VOID SCREAM] [#4 - addition to canon]
- Had a work meeting on Saturday
- I haven't gotten back to editing Steffi's book
- I did read more of A Taste of Gold and Iron
