Day 288: Plans for the Week

I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I hope to coast to the end of the year. That’s true, but there are also some things I’d like to accomplish this week, if possible. Here is my tentative to-do list.

1. Bring the kids to the Christmas lights display, if they want to go. It’s outdoors and socially distanced, and everyone is required to wear masks while on the property, so I think it would be safe. The kids seem disinclined to go out in public, though, which is understandable. I will let them decide.
2. Clean, clean, clean. Wouldn’t it be great to start out the new year with a clean house?
3. Finish the book I’m reading now (The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith) and try to squeeze in at least one more book before the end of the year. Finished book 12/28 and decided that I was done for the year.
4. Write my annual Year of Reading blog post.
5. Write my annual End of Year blog post. 12/30 Draft created.
6. Finish the large version of my 2019 photo album.12/31 Done and ordered.
7. Finish the small version of my 2020 photo album.
8. Take care of some year-end financial tasks. No, they won’t be fun, but postponing them won’t make them any funnerer. Done 12/28
9. Shop for Livia’s upcoming birthday. Done 12/31
10. Update our address book. 12/30 Ordered product to help with this, but it has to decontaminate for a few days, so I will finish this task next year.
