Back in December, I posted some lofty goals for 2020. Both financial and personal.
In the past I would claim some New Years' resolutions, but would just forget about them or feel it is too late to achieve after a month or so. I would put them off and put them off and not have anyone or anything to keep me on track.
Posting them on this blog forces me to stay true to my word.
With this awful Coronavirus plague going around, most everyone is suddenly living a much different life. Locked in. Possibly no work. Have a huge T. P. stash. Lots of called foods. Movie/show binging. And cabin fever. It could really throw a wrench into the goals
Here are the goals and my progress so far:
FINANCIAL PROGRESS:
Been doing good in this aspect! I have no bills at all, so all of my income has been going into savings and Fidelity. I have not bought any shares for the past 4 weeks, so it have a nice fat stash to go shopping with once the markets settle a bit more.
PERSONAL PROGRESS:

PERSONAL PROGRESS:
1. Take a spring road trip. Yellowstone would be ideal. I AM THINKING THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN THIS YEAR. THANKS COVID-19...THANKS A LOT
2. Exercise more. I was doing well until my right knee and left achilles acted up. Fell out of routine. BEEN REAL GOOD! ESPECIALLY WITH THE STAY AT HOME ORDER. LOTS OF DUMBELL WORKOUTS, BIKING, AND WALKING.
3. Drop about 20 lbs. 6 LB DOWN SO FAR
4. Drink more green tea. HAVE AT LEAST 2 CUPS PER DAY UNTIL THE STAY AT HOME ORDER. I WOULD HAVE THEM AT WORK. GOT TO MAKE IT AT HOME.
5. Sell off some of my record collection. It was a long term goal to sell eventually. Well, I have run out of room. I think I would rather sell than keep some of the ones I rarely listen to. NO ONE IS BUYING ANYTHING ON EBAY DURING THIS PANDEMIC. TAKING A BREAK FROM IT FOR A WHILE.
6. Improve piano skills and improve guitar skills. LITTLE AT A TIME.
7. Blog more. I WILL POST MORE NOW THAT I AM NOT WORKING AS MUCH. THIS PAST MONTH HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT CLEANING UP STUFF AT WORK, STOCKING UP FOR THE STAY AT HOME, CLEANING HOUSE, AND WORKING OUT. I WILL FIND MORE TIME.
8. Enjoy more oysters like these. AFTER JANUARY, I HAVE NOT HAD THE CHANCE. I AMY HAVE TO GET SOME AT THE GROCERY STORE THOUGH
