Roundup (Saturday)

Finally, a less-overdue roundup!

1. Afghan: Making slow and occassional progress. I've been writing enough recently that the hands are acting up a bit, alas.

4. Wardrobe revamping is in continuous progress; I'm in the process of getting rid of a few things now.

7. I've decided that the second thing I need to work on perfecting is candies. I'm decent at caramels and at tempering chocolate, but there's such a world of brittles and toffees and hard candies and. . . oh yes. Although I give myself leeway to not doing anything that tends to require corn syrup, because ew.

13. December is going to be quite full of new recipes, as I'm making a bunch of candies. However, I have already tried making gnocchi. They're definitely better fresh, and not frozen.

19. Emergency fund is probably going to get dipped into during January---goddamned not getting paid for a good month. -_-

22. I have been active this week! I have walked downtown a lot! This isn't really exercise, in the concerted raising-of-pulse and working-of-muscles type, but it's better than nothing.

24. Dentist: Completed for December.

25/25: Doing well so far on the skin and teeth.

29. Doing well on calling Mum and Dad, too!

37/45. I wrote on Lang-8?

38. I've been. . . sort of making the bed. I've been straightening the covers, at least.

So, it's not been particularly exciting here in the last week---but I've been keeping my head above water, at least.
