As my life begins to calm down I once again find myself returning to my goals and plans and enjoy looking forward to the future.
UPDATES ON THE REMAINING GOALS (13 CURRENTLY COMPLETED)
1. Finish my Games List (or at least 155 games, the original number)
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how many games I own now but I'd say it's over 200. I still want to focus on finishing off old games but I'll be impressed if I get through 155 in with 667 days left (one game every 4.3 days? Hmmm)
2. Get a Sim family from Gen 1 to Gen 10
Sims 4 has held little to no appeal to me in the face of other games lately. I don't see this as being a goal that I'm interested in focusing on, which also means...
3. Complete the Sims 4 Rags to Riches Challenge
... that this challenge is unlikely to be completed as well.
In the face of so many other games to play, Sims 4 just doesn't get me invested anymore.
I could probably look at doing something like these challenges when Paralives comes out but that's not going to be out before the end of this list.
4. Do a vegan runthrough of RimWorld where at least one colonist gets off the planet
I believe my vegan colony is pretty well situated and will likely get off the planet soon, if I actually play them.
5. Stream 100 times
So, I've streamed 5 times since this list started. 95 times to go, over 667 days means I'd have to stream at least once a week... looks, it's not IMPOSSIBLE, it's just SUPER UNLIKELY. But hey, we'll see.
6. Replace my keyboard and mouse
This isn't actually hard to do, I just need to find a new keyboard that I like. Definitely going wireless though. And now I want new monitors as well >.> And stands for them....
8. Attend an RFLAN
As soon as they announce new dates, I am there!
9. Create my own computer game
This is going to be on hold for a little bit while I focus on other things but I'm sure I can put something together.
10. Build my own website
Well, now I'm wondering... WHY do I feel like I need a website? At the moment I have no use for one so this goal might not get completed.
11. Hit within the yellow circle of an archery target 5 times.
I so cannot wait for archery training to be back on. Hopefully my wrist will be up to the task!
12. Make 5 items that my SCA persona, Margarita/Margareta, would wear.
I've actually been unpicking my old garb so I can repair it but I should probably get a wriggle on and start this one soon.
13. Become an authorised combat archer in the SCA
This is still something I would like to do but it's not on my priority goal list right now.
14. Make the poles for my canvas tent or get rid of it
At the start of this list I was leaning towards getting rid of it. Now I'm wondering if I should keep it... I need to find the pole dimensions list and start pricing things.
15. Enter an A&S competition
Waiting for events to start back up
16. Brew alcohol
Before my next update I will have AT LEAST cleaned my container for this.
17. Make Felicia Day's outfit in Do You Wanna Date My Avatar
I still REALLY REALLY want to do this. But, I also want to be in a physically healthier position to wear it.
18. Make a piece of clothing for myself that's not SCA related
I'm thinking a skirt. Or maybe a non-SCA apron for me. Haven't made a decision. Or maybe those moose pj's that will never get made ever.
19. Make 1 thing from the Danish renaissance cookbook
So, I actually started translating a recipe! It's for an apple tart :)
20. Make my own cheese
.... in a spur of the moment kind of thing, I'm going to make it these weekend! Just decided XD
21. Grow sunflowers
I will have to wait for the summer!
22. Grow a herb garden
Still on the list but my sisters kinda taken over herb growing and... it's hard to have interest when I feel like I'd just be overridden on my choices.
23. 365 Days of Haiku
Yeah, this is never happening
24. Use my Thermomix 32 times
I'm up to three times! I need to try some new recipes though.
25. Create a piece of woodwork
This one's on the backburner in favour of other projects at this point.
26. Finish/help finish my sister apron
It's a long weekend so I might get this one done.
27. Go to Bali
<Insert shrug emoji>
28. Spend the night in Perth city
Definitely not happening any time soon - too cold!
30. Go non-SCA camping
Well now that I have a NEW CAR, this is a lot more likely. Car camping counts, right?
31. Visit 5 parks in WA

50. Finish Zombies, Run Couch to 5k
51. Finish Zombies Run! Season 1
It's cold, it's rainy. I don't think these ones are gonna happen until the weather improves.

57. Complete Duolingo Danish Course
I was going well and then my mood kinda changed and I was only doing the least amount of training. I'd like to regain my enthusiasm please.
