This post contains affiliate links. I wrote this a week ago, planning to publish on Monday. And then, Sunday night, I got sick. I knew right away that it was more than a cold. I thought it might be the flu until my daughter mentioned COVID had been going around. We still had some old tests, so I took one, and within a minute, it was positive. I was completely out of commission for a few days, and then only functioning at about 40% for a few more. Today is the first day I feel like myself and am 100%. But now I’m behind on everything–work, house cleaning, etc. To make matters worse, my husband got it from me, so now he’s down for the count.

Because the rest of September is going to be spent playing catch-up, I decided to just close out my September goals now. I didn’t achieve any of them, but I definitely have grace for myself since I was sick. Here’s what I accomplished:

  • Finish 3 books. 33% complete- one down, two to go. I finished a book that wasn’t on the list that I needed for a book club last week: The Busybody Book Club. It was a cute, feel-good book that I really enjoyed. Review coming soon!
    A red book cover showing a book shelf and the words "The Busybody Book Club" written on the front.Regarding the other books, I didn’t read The Maidens or Red Head of Auschwitz at all this week, but I’m 50% done with My Friends.
  • Read 300 pages in The Calamity Club. 36% complete. I’m on page 111, and it’s getting good, but, I had to put it down because my book club for My Friends is coming soon, and I need to finish that book!
  • Clean one thing in my house for 22 of the 30 days in the month. 45% complete. So far, I’ve done the following:
    1. Cleaned the front of my stove
    2. Cleaned out my car and emptied my little trash can in there
    3. Washed the dehumidifier pan
    4. Rearranged the contents of my kitchen cupboard and put things we don’t use often downstairs
    5. Cleaned off my kitchen counters
    6. Cleaned my washing machine & dryer tops
    7. Boiled kitchen towels to get the funk smell out of them
    A silver pan filled with boiling water and kitchen towels8. Cleaned the downstairs bathroom
    9. Swept and mopped my kitchen and dining room
    10. Washed all of the rugs in the house
  • Take my daughter on three college tours. No college tours yet.
  • Go to the gym 15 times. 40% complete. I went 6x so far. I have to get moving on this one!
  • Walk 15 miles. 33% complete. I walked 5 miles
  • Do Tai Chi 10 times this month. 40% complete. I did this 4x and forgot how much I enjoy it! I have to do it more.
