It’s the first of the month, so that means it is time to review the progress I’ve made over the past 31 days on my New Years Resolutions (to see the resolutions check here: https://www.mrvintageman.com/happy-new-year-2020/).
Let’s get to it:
- Travel: in abeyance. Not that MrsVintage and I were intending to go any where this month, Colorado or otherwise, but the social isolation and state shelter in place rules would have put the kibosh on any plans we might of had anyway.
- Bicycling: needs improvement. I only went on one ride this past month. I have no excuses for not hitting the bike paths. In contrast to February, the month of March had mostly above average temperatures and little in the way of moisture (except the big storm near the end of the month). I can’t even use the shelter in place decree as an excuse, because there was no lockdown early on and even after the order people are permitted to exercise as long as they maintain social distancing. On the other hand, social distancing has obviously changed my plans on riding to interesting destinations, so that will have to wait until such time as businesses are allowed to reopen.
- Reading: above average. Continuing to read most every day, and I am finding my ability to concentrate is much better than it was on New Years Eve. I just finished “Brief Cases” by Jim Butcher and Land of Wolves by Craig Johnson last week. I’m almost halfway through “Travelers Tales of the American Southwest by editor Joseph O’Reilly .
- Gardening: meets expectations. I pretty much finished the last of the spring cleanup as March came to a close. Good work and everything, but spring cleanup is something that needs to be accomplished before the growing season get going full swing, so that’s why I only get a “meets expectation”. More will be expected of me in April, especially with the shelter-in-place order in effect.
Are you still working on your New Years Resolutions, or have you given up?
