Impossible List - 15 March

How far I've come over the course of the last month in regards to the impossible list of goals I've set for myself.

I have a list of things that I work on outside of my impossible list and I'm starting to think that I might need to revise my impossible list to show my general activity and what it is working towards rather than the larger goals that generally require money rather than an accumulation of experience.

Professional

Still focused fully on getting fit and writing my book. So nothing exciting to report for projects or the like.

Health / Fitness

I've been ill for some time now, nothing lethal, just a general sense of aches, pains and headaches. So much so that I went to the doctor. We couldn't find a root cause in blood work or checkup so we're taking a month off of statins to see if that has any effect.  It doesn't appear to be doing anything and we'll find out next month what the next step is.

While being ill I fell back on my exercise and diet, I am now throwing myself into it hard. I'm heading in the right direction, I just need to keep going.

My aim is to end this year pretty far down on the weight scale and higher up on the fitness scale in preparation to climb a big mountain in 2025.

Personal Skills

I'm on chapter 34 of 40 re-writing and giving a base level of story. I want to take this and print off a manuscript before I go to Italy in May so that I can spend time reading and going through my first proper development edit.

Flickr still has 652 photos in it.

Travel / Events

So two bigger trips this year, One to Lake Como and the other to Copenhagen. Louise and I hope to camp in Orkney and perhaps I've convinced her to be my support crew to climb all 6 of England's Furths.

We've been floating an idea to go to America for Thanksgiving in 2025 and preparing for the cost will mean spreading out some trips, it is looking like we might need spread out the trips so that we have time to save for them.

Volunteering / Charity

Starting to really address the issues behind the business of Tayside Re-Users. We'll see where that goes.

Education / Languages

I've continued with my DuoLingo work. Hopefully in the next 12 months I can get through and complete Russian. I might be good at that point to jump back into a Russian class. I'll look again at this come September.

Financial

Just working hard in my role as React Tech Lead and trying to sort out my shop and put everything into a good status.
