September Review + XP Cash-In
Happy six months, KOK!
Remember, we're not here to beat ourselves up over our failures, but to celebrate our successes! With that in mind, please leave a comment on this post letting us know which September goals you accomplished, and also go back through the month and count up your longest consecutive run of substantial check-ins you had in a row (remember, "I did nothing"s don't count! a check-in should include at least one thing that you did that was positive that day). Round down to the nearest number of consecutive weeks you checked in, and then leave that number in bold at the bottom of your comment to earn your XP! Please also indicate how you would like that XP to be divvied up among characters.
NOTE: Apparently I totally forgot to dole out XP last month so I will be doing both at the same time! Sorry for my failure.
New goal post will go up shortly!
Check in for 1 week straight = 250xp
Check in for 2 weeks straight = 500xp
Check in for 3 weeks straight = 750xp
Check in for the entire month of September daily = 1000xp!

✗ drink water, any amount
✗ eat two meals, stop and sit down for at least one
✗ at least twenty minutes of yoga
✗ at least five minutes of stretching for wrist
➙ being sick really screwed me over because i had been doing well-ish on all of these up until then, the balance ball was a great choice
✗ at least ten tags a day; not including same thread boomerangs
➙ sick again screwed with my progress, but i think i did well on the month regardless
WEEKLY
✓ exotic friend date with matt & todd
✗ keep bedroom cleaned & keep on top of laundry
➙ washing machine broke for a bit but it's back so i will get back on track
✓ read a book
➙ the edge of nowhere, the edge of the water, the edge of the shadows, the red pyramid, the lovely bones, started the throne of fire. my mom accidentally forced me into a book club with her, so that's cool.
✓ catch up & keep on top of tv
➙ the fact that we succeeded on this one every week astounds me
✓ keep tracking updated
MONTHLY
✗ do not spend money on clothes/frivolities
➙ wedding stuff oh well
✓ friend date with em every two weeks
➙ it's morphed in critrole dates every week, but we poor so that's okay
✓ at least one bit of new cr per person
➙ so much! i'm pretty well on top of furthering and strengthening cr which i'm pleased with, i feel like i've made good rp decisions this month
OVERALL
➙ i think i did really well this month. i kept on top of things, my tagging wasn't abysmal, i made time for myself in the middle of a massive depressive slump. being sick did a lot to hurt my progress but i keep moving through it just at a very, very slow pace. but that is progress in and of itself anyway. i want to continue assessing what i want from rp going into next month because i like where i'm heading but i still need to do some pruning.
CHECK IN TOTAL: everyday! 1000xp to vi, please

Mostly done: At least 5 tags a day; clean out the inbox once a week at minimum. This means not biting off more than I can chew this time.
Not done:
Find something positive about every day (I tend to get super depressed in the fall and winter, so with summer ending soon, I need to focus on this).Finally line up a job for after November (again, I say... political campaign work: so damn fun, so damn temporary).CHECK-IN TOTAL: Everyday & 1000xp to Wanda pls!

life/adulting:

✔ all schoolwork done on time or early
✔ get through research and first draft of my paper; research and notes are done and the first draft was put off until this week per professor's request so we could get feedback on our prewriting strategies

mental health/hobbies:
✘ Shannara review/Wil KoL app; I still want to bring him but due to Life and Things the potential Shannara crew is postponing a bit. Apped Benny Lafitte instead, whoops?
