andersenmom: So My life (Procrastination)
[personal profile] andersenmom
Weekly Score: 84% (21/25)

Goal 1: Increase my spirituality. 84% (16/19)

Review: The fall down on this is exactly where I know it to be - on Saturday. Well, this week on Sunday, too, because I didn't go to bed Saturday night until well into the early morning. Still, I feel really good about how it went.

Goal 2: Write a blog article each week. 100% (3/3)

Review: I found this really cool set of prompts for a travel journal, so I'm using those to do some writing. It worked out really well, actually, and I'm looking forward to doing more of that.

Goal 3: Make deck available for use. 67% (2/3)

Review: Oooh, this is going to be good! I got the path to the door almost completely free, and worked some on the deck itself. The furniture is looking a little rough - weather worn - and still usable.

Intentions for the future: G1: I don't have many hopes on this one, because I have company coming in on Wednesday, and I don't know if I'll manage to do any praying or scripture reading while she's here. G2: I will try to work on this, because it's going to be cool and I want to try to keep blogging about this trip. G3: I'm probably going to not do this one at all this week, as I have the inside of the house to clean up for my friend. I won't be able to focus on the deck.

I just found out the local library (RWC) is sponsoring a talk entitled “The transgender assault on Women and Girls”. The description of the talk says it’s about allowing trans women in women’s sports, but the title and the descriptions of the speakers sure as heck makes it look like it’s about more than that. In other ways this library has been very welcoming to LGBTQ+.

I want to respond but I’m having trouble figuring out how. I don’t mind being out to the city government or library but I don’t want to wade through a lot of vitriol if I post publicly. Do you have any thoughts?

Options:
Write an email to the local newspaper where the announcement was posted
Write an email to someone at the library, but who?
Write an email to the county Pride center
Write an email to the city council
Post on NextDoor
Post on Facebook (the local library has a page) and Bluesky

[personal profile] andersenmom
Weekly Score: 70.8% 17/24

Goal 1: Increase my spirituality. 68% 13/19

Review: I'm doing better at this. Not great, but better.

Goal 2: Write a blog article each week. 100% (3/3)

Review: I have, in the last couple of months, written more about grief than I have in years. It's weird, because it's not just losing people. I didn't realize it was so encompassing.

Goal 3: Make deck available for use. 50% (1/2)

Review: It's going slowly, but I've reached the point I can actually get to the door to open it, and I can start working on the deck itself. Wahoo!

Intentions for the future: G1 - Set up a routine and stick with it, both morning and evening. G2 - Write another blog post. G3 - Move things around in the bedroom to make a path to the door clearer. Then I want to assess what the deck looks like, and what I need to do to make it comfortable.
