2026 – Onward – April Review

Made it to the end of April. I will say that while I got a lot done this month, it did feel more relaxed and I gave myself a lot of grace through the days. It felt good to be kinder to myself and felt good to know that despite a “major” goal, I still was productive. I do feel more rested and a little more centered.

• Here’s all the stuff I had put as a possible list, I crossed out the ones I did:
• More tidying up:
  • Pick through the stuffed animals for what to keep
  • Donate all the donation items
  • Go through my bedside drawers
  • Go through under my sink.
  • Go through linen closet.
  • Go through kids’ bathroom.
  • Go through ikea next to my desk.
  • Clean up desk.
  • Go through ikea by plants.
  • Go through the second desk.
  • Clean out the foosball table (over and under)
  • Go through the giant ikea.
  • Go through the cupboards by kitchen sink.
  • Go through David’s sink drawer.
  • After all those are done -> schedule bulky trash pickup.
• Buy Fun stuff:
  • Buy colorful ikea drawers
  • replace cushions for couch outside
  • buy more lights for yard.
  • buy heater for the yard.
  • buy lanterns for the yard.
  • buy something to keep bugs/mosquitoes away.
  • buy fun stuff for garage.
• Health: ( a did a little of several of these but not enough of any to cross off)
  • Start stretching regularly
  • Start a lifting regimen
  • Go back to doing core classes
  • Do pilates/yoga
  • Back to restorative yoga/meditation
  • Find 3 staple dishes to cook and have on hand
  • Moisturize every night
• Learn stuff
  • Finish the AI course you did
  • Learn to use Jski
  • Research how to train Sadie
  • Do the shuffle class
  • Watch some makeup tips
  • Find a fun class
• Take care of my people + myself
  • Help A with AP stuff
  • Take time off
  • Go to laser place
• Go places
  • Watch the sunset.
  • Drive somewhere new.

In the end, I focused the most on cleaning up because it was something that both made me feel better and something I could do alongside watching TV. I feel like it was quite cleansing to do it.

Here’s to another month. Paying attention. Loving my people. Savoring and living in awe. And taking steps to move onward.
