April: Week 3 Check-In




APRIL 2013 GOALS
Month is currently 70% over.
Overall: 79% complete.

CAREER - 105% Complete
Hit target number of monthly illustrations. - 120% complete.
Number illustrations completed - 83% complete.
Make target income for the month. - 148% complete.
Draw one illustration for myself. - 100% complete.
Finish February's illustration. - 75% complete.
Some notes: When I took a week off at the beginning of the month, I fully expected to see my target income hang around 75%.  Caricature gigs have definitely helped with that.  That being said, it is after prom season and my sleep schedule is a little messed up from it.

FINANCIAL - 85% Complete
Make target income for the month. - 100% complete.
Keep budget. - 70% complete.
Some notes: Something I'd like to do next month is check into switching insurance companies, or at least downgrading our car insurance.  Aaron and I have always kept full coverage on our cars which, with renter's insurance, usually comes up to almost 2k a year.  Considering that we own a '99 and an '01, there's little reason for that.  Unfortunately, it saved our hides in January of 2012 when that kid spun out and hit our car.  He didn't have enough insurance to cover and we were the only ones in the lot that had full coverage, so we just went through our insurance to get it fixed.  That being said, I have to remember that that was a freak accident.  Of course, that's what insurance is supposed to cover.  So tied.  

HEALTH - 48% Complete
Continue taking thyroid meds. - 70% complete.
Lose 4 pounds with short daily exercises and walking one mile a week. - 25% complete.
Dentist appointment. - 0% complete.
Some notes: I keep exercising and dieting but the weight just isn't coming off.  I'm sure it has something to do with my thyroid.  I've felt unnaturally bloated all month.  I feel like it's time to do a cleanse and flush the water weight off.  Ugh.  It also doesn't help that the girls have all pretty much permanently cancelled.  I'm the only one with motivation anymore and I like being social when I exercise.  It sucks.  On the bright side, I have a solution.  I signed up for not one but two weekly exercise courses between May and June.  If I'm so tired of being by myself, it's time to revert back to what I did to lose my first 15 pounds.  And besides, by June, I should be able to see an endocrinologist.  That might help as well.

God dammit Aaron, a list of dentists would be nice.  I'm moving that goal to May since I can't seem to get it this month.

HOME - 75% Complete
Organize the den closet. - 100% complete.
Organize the entrance closet. - 50% complete.
Some notes: So I worked on the entrance closet for five minutes and got it half way clean.  Easy peasy.
