September Objectives

Wait, what?  "Where is the August reckoning?" I hear all two of you cry.

Coming.

But, for now, the September objectives:
  1. Physical:  Body brushing.  I have a body brush loitering in the bathroom, dangling on a hook that I use for my spectacularly ugly but durable shower cap (zebra print, giant pink rosette, and generally massive).  I don't use the body brush very often.  But, for the month of September, I shall use it every flipping day.  I shall be doing a highly unscientific test of whether it has any effect on my skin texture.  The fact that this coincides with a plethora of ugly insect bites that need scratching has nothing to do with this resolution.  Nothing.
  2. Accounting: Our household is about to return to reality, after a year of sabbatical bliss, and we are doing the long-distance thing again.  Only this time I am on a non-profit salary rather than the big bucks of Big Law.  Therefore I'm on a mission to record each and every expenditure I make this month - where, what, how much.  We have changed spending habits a little but, I fear, I have not altered as much as I should have, given my now far more limited income.  So, this is it.  Time to work out what I'm spending, where, and so what unnecessary expenses can be shed that don't really bring me much joy.
  3. Cultural:  Our Netflix queue has 86 titles on it, and we rarely watch titles, but instead just add them.  Time for that to change.  My plan is to watch one a week - one, obviously, that my other household member does not want to watch, or is happy to watch separately.  No (more)* Netflix adultery for us. 
* That is a confession for another day and a different blog.
