2. Use up yarn bin: I've got a slipper planned for my mom, which should help me use up some excess wool I have from the last two pairs of slippers. This should be a fun little project.
4. Revamp wardrobe: Some revamping has been done in the form of an interview suit (charcoal grey, CK, all three pieces) and a new red-and-white shirt with a fun collar. It's all very grownup, very professional, and should be very useful. The suit, alas, needs some tailoring---but that's to be expected.
7. Perfecting new cooking: I tried to make a coffee custard today (hopjeslva for the Dutch-oriented), and although it tastes delicious, it failed to set. I'll have another go at it later this week; for now, our stitch and bitch tonight is going to have coffee custard sauce for ice cream.
13. New dish: I made a new curry recipe today---absolutely delicious. It tastes and smells a lot like standard Japanese curries, except one doesn't have to pay 5 bucks for a box of curry roux. I'm very glad about this.
23. Breast exam: Did one for July here. I'm not doing so well on trying to make sure I do this. Admittedly, I figure that every time I remember is better than what I would do if I weren't trying.
75. I realized that I sort-of completed the `new computer' goal. I say `sort-of', because it is neither a new computer, nor is it a laptop (which was my intention). However, I have acquired a new-to-me desktop, still in quite good shape, for less than $200. It's sitting happily in my office.
I also wanted to note a number of things that I need to get done before I go off to Japan (as it will simply make my life easier):
- Finish afghan.
- Finish slippers.
- Get suit tailored.
- Get bloodwork done.
- Finish drafting paper.
- Finish stock job materials.
- Start drafting dissertation (i.e., outlines, etc.).
- Write recommendation letter for a student.
- Get credit limit upped.
