1. I edited a manuscript.
2. Wrote a few poems. Here's one from October about the political/world events. This one is probably my favorite I wrote this year.
3. Knitted a couple of scarves.

| This scarf went to England for a friend. |
4. Learned to crochet (still haven't finished that project).
5. Played a key role (though unheralded and unpaid) in helping a candidate win election.
6. Read 20 books (or at least, that is what I logged). This is far short of my reading goal and also far short of what I normally read in a year. (Note to self: do better in 2018.)
7. Wrote 26,500 words in my private journal on the computer.
8. This particular blog entry marks my 3,600th published blog post since I began this blog and my 532nd Thursday 13.
9. I took a vacation to Virginia Beach.
10. I started using a Fitbit and went from a puny 2,600 steps a day to occasionally hitting 10,000 and hitting over 5,000 nearly every day, unless I am sick with strep throat or something.
11. I finished up my physical therapy for the year (maybe for a good long while), after being in it off and on for years due to a stupid doctor who didn't know how to properly remove a gallbladder.
12. Cleaned up my office after letting it fester and pile up for about five years.

13. Prepared all the stuff for the 2016 taxes, which I now get to do again for 2017.

Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while and this is my 532nd time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday.
THAT is an epic poem, the bumbling on earth one. Thank you for your work getting someone elected. Your problems are from a botched gallbladder surgery?? A doctor wanted to take mine out.
ReplyDeleteMy Accomplishment List would be far more meager, if I had the oomph to create one. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you can survive without having the silly gall bladder removed. Wish you'd had a better surgeon.
ReplyDeleteThe fit bit thing is what I'm going to try! You've given me the courage to do it! I used to be so active, and I'm glad that you have built up your steps. Hooray for you! For that, and for getting a good person elected! wow! That's major! Happy New Year CountryDew!
Crocheting fascinates me. I so need to clean up my junked up corner too. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteWow...your office was like mine...but I also cleaned up before holiday ;)
