A bunch of my goals are somewhat in progress.... I've done a bit more unpacking, filled multiple boxes for donation (but I'm not done yet and the thrift store that would take our donations isn't close by), done plenty of knitting and crocheting, but only one yarn along, which I really miss doing.  Alex and I did make pita bread one day, but I want to make sourdough before the end of the year. I've definitely learned some new stitch patterns (cabling and chain/honeycomb stitch and I learned to crochet a round.)  I was sick for several weeks and need to get myself in to see a doctor also... I have trust issues with doctors and am having trouble choosing one for Alex.  I'm always seeing a ton of feedback for certain doctors in the area.. but unfortunately there's negatives for each one.  I think there's still plenty of time to get him in for all of his appointments... I just need to suck it up and choose one, knowing I can always change doctors again if we need to.

I also had to add a few things to my list of goals and I'm sure I'm forgetting things.  This does not bode well for my ability to get everything done.
