Almost gone...

May is almost gone, time to reflect on the past and set some goals for the future.

It was a good month. Finally I have acclimatised in Port Alberni. It took me a while but now it feels like home.  In May I work a little, stitch a little, read a little and train the dog a little. Below is a progress on Guardian Angel (page two is almost done - no more confetti stitches to the end of the page!)

 before
 and after

I also have a new addition to the family

a little kitten was looking for a home and found me. His name is Ragnar. He was born around St. Patrick's Day and I was tempted to name him Clover but after watching him over couple of days I noticed that he is brave, smart and a 'tough cookie' - so he is Ragnar (like the Viking Ragnar Lothbrok).

My goals for June:

Work
 I'm self-employed working from home and I must motivate myself to spend at least 5 hours a day actually working. I think that's a very reasonable goal considering that we are taking care of MIL with Alzheimer's.

Stitching
I would love to finish page three of my Guardian Angel and have one finish from super duper starts

Reading
Same as before - a book a week! Sometimes I combine both, the stitching and listening to a book... I think that counts and it is perfectly fine.

Social Media
1. Blog more often and visit blogs more frequently
2. Learn how to host a digital class
3. Create a Facebook page for #2.

Life
I would like to go hiking more often.  In June I would like to discover two new trails. And I want to spend more time training the dog myself so my dog can understand me and obey.

So long my friends,
Evalina

    VERY nice progress on Guardian Angel. I like the sound of your goals - enough to keep you busy, but room for life to just happen.

    It's funny how cats just find us. And he's got such cute mittens! Love his name too. I named my computer (haha) Ragnarok since I built it on a raging stormy night.

    Great progress on your Angel. Hooray for no more confetti stitching (for now, hah).

    The name Ragnar suits him very well - how handsome he is - he looks like he might grow up to be rather large :) Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace

    Hi Evalina .. Ragnar is a wonderful name for a delightful new addition to the family ... wonderful colouring. Congratulations on helping with your MIL and generally being with her during her Alzheimer's journey ... so sad for all concerned - but rewarding too. Good luck with your goals, the walking and training of you! Everyone else will fall into place ... take care - cheers Hilary
