Four Months Left!

 Yikes, we are getting to the end of this one very quickly, it feels like! And it's actually just under 4 months, as my list ends on 2/22/22 (which happens to be a Tuesday). Things have gotten busy for me professionally (which feels so weird to say, but I will say it, for it is true), so I will just do what I can do and be happy with it. (slash maybe change things to what I'm doing since they are big, too!) All this rambling to say, I got 3 items done this month!

Completed:

28. visit Stonerose

  • So Stonerose is a fossil site in north central Washington that lets you dig for fossils! We were honestly closer to it when we lived in Moses Lake, but we didn't make it up while we were living there. Luckily we have friends halfway to make the trip shorter and they were able to join us to make it more fun. They had a lot more luck with fossils than we did, but we managed to find a few small ones. I think overall, it was fun, but also a lot of work, haha. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I think I thought it would be easier to find them. It was a good trip anyway, though!



75. get business cards
  • They have arrived! I'm so pleased. They are super cute and just in time to make me legit at a holiday market! Woooooo!

91. play 20 games from Board Game Geek's top 100 200
  • We played the last 2 games this month! Santorini and Terraforming Mars. Both enjoyable, but I liked Terraforming Mars better. I'm not great at spacial games like Santorini, but I guess I'm good at space games like Terraforming Mars, hahaha. We had a ton of fun with this one overall, though we have to give a really big shoutout to Zulu's Board Game Cafe for helping me make this more attainable.



Updates:

41. make a 24 hour comic each year

  • I took advantage of 24 Hour Comic Day this year to make another zine, this time of a really powerful tumblr post about making bad art just for the sake of making. I really enjoyed doing it, and it definitely went with the theme of the post to do it quick and dirty.

96. wikipedia cooking challenge

  • This month I made tang yuan with pandan and black sesame in a ginger broth, and uszka with porcini mushrooms in Christmas Eve borscht. Yum! 

Alright! Lots to do still and not much time to do it in. Did I say I would be okay with getting less done at the top of this post? I will try to feel that way, but no guarantees. I'm sure I'll be scrambling trying to beat last list's numbers like usual. Dang my completionist tendencies. :)
