Staying on Task

I have four projects that are my focus this week. One is for my book, another is the collection from my father's cousin, then I have a pro bono project and some follow up on the Watts Family Collection. Yesterday I had my annual cancer check up and things went well. One more yearly check up at the five year mark and then I will be able to go to a more local facility. With Covid fog abating I am feeling much better. It has been an interesting spring. I am ready for summer! I completed the cousin's collection organization, will work on the pro bono project next and of course the Watt's collection is ongoing. Making great progress in the book. I definitely need to work on my picture collection and scanning.

Organizing Family Collections 2021

 I just had a 2016 post show up in my feed. It is just six months after our move and it lists my projects that need to be worked on. Here is what I have accomplished and what I have yet to do. This year I made more headway than in all the other four years before that combined. Something about staying home and having hours to work on these tasks. Looking forward to accomplishing the rest soon!
