I'm heading to Tobermory tomorrow (or later today, technically) to camp for the long weekend, which knocks off goal #50. That means 41 goals down! And slow progress on the remaining 60. But slow progress is still progress.
I've discovered that I might not be able to accomplish goal #51 - replacing the shed in Tobermory. But this is more because it wasn't a good goal for me to set in the first place, since it's really not up to just me to replace the shed, I have to get permission and approval of the replacement. Which I'm not getting. I have succeeded in convincing them that it needs to be replaced, but that might be as far as it goes this year. And since my goal time is up in May, I doubt we'll make it up here before then. But I think that if a goal cannot be completed due to forces beyond my control, I will just strike it from the list and not count it.
I've also started reading again, I'm working on a classic right now. I realized that I knew the storyline for Emma, and had seen the movie, but never actually read the book. So I'm spending some time in the early 1800s lately. After that I'm going to read about Einstein. I found a biography for him at my parents' house. Pretty sure he fits the bill for iconic! I'm hoping it is an interesting read. There's a list of 'characters' at the beginning of the book, and there are so many famous scientists and mathematicians listed. It's crazy to think back at how much has been discovered in the last century and a half, all the changes that have occurred. Things that were not even conceived of back then are now common place.
However, this weekend, I'll be heading to the rustic. Kind of. There's no cell service up there, but we're taking our DS's. We'll play them while we're cooking our food over the camp stove (normally over the fire, but there's a fire ban right now).
