September 101 update

This month has been a very busy one.  I haven't gotten much done on my list at all.  We've had a family emergency to work through and I just have not been able to tackle this list like I wanted.  Anyway, here is the update.

11. Visit something at the convention center

I found out that our town has a convention center now, and I wanted to go on Tuesdays for the farmer's market, but we haven't been able to AT ALL this month due to appointments.  Sigh.

31. Make Disney trip albums 1/3

Still working on our second trip album.  I haven't gotten very far on this at all.

45. Join a church DONE September 2025

Yay!  We are now members after a very long process of the church we've been attending for 4 years!

55. Get back to pre-pregnancy weight

This is getting nowhere.  I don't know that this WILL go anywhere.  Again, related to the family emergency.

72. Fix entrance ceiling (needs venting)
I don't even know where to begin with this one.  I look at it and I just can't figure out how to deal with this.  It was built so badly, that the best I can come up with is to rip the whole thing down, but I need that entrance.  I don't want to try to build a whole new thing right now, and I don't even know how I could build it bigger.  I'm honestly at a loss on this one.  It worked ok for 2 people, but there is too much heat and moisture with 10 people in there over winter and it causes the ceiling to condense and have icicles inside.

90. Learn how to butcher chickens DONE September 2025
Did this.  Never want to do it again.  But at least I can say I've tried.

96. Build a greenhouse OR a summer kitchen
We built another counter area and popped the sink onto it, but I need more wood (pressure treated) to make the countertop so I can properly mount the sink and have my husband do the plumbing.

77 done now.  24 left.  Little over 3 months, too.  Not sure how that is going to work out.  I cannot see myself completing that many in such a short time.
