TODO 2019 PvP [Jan 1 - Dec 29]


Recommended Posts

I have already thought about the stuff I want to put in the garden. But this won't work until May, so I will take some of the seeds and plant it inside before taking them outside in some time (or maybe not). I already have some seeds, have to check which ones. Also have a lot of books about gardening (some of them my grandma used) maybe I will read some.

My challenge of the week is: Meditate/Yoga every day.

I'm so far behind on reporting the tasks I've done :(  But I'll never catch up if I never start... Two weeks ago I did two tasks.

 

The first task was "Go for a walk picking up at least five pieces of trash along the way and throwing in a garbage can"

As I said when that task was randomly selected I didn't actually think I'd find that much trash along the roads here out in the woods. Especially not when there was snow covering the ground. So I waited until the snow had melted away, and then I went for a walk. I took a photo of all the items as I found them, before picking them up. But I'm not posting all of those photos. Just two of them. I also recorded a short movie when throwing the pieces of trash in our garbage can, just because it's fun to record movies :) And I made a short vlog about it too!

The second task I did two weeks ago was the actual task for that week, which was "Get a massage". I made my wife give me a back massage. Used the same oil that I used when I gave her a massage.

Here's a few seconds long recording of my wife massaging the upper part of my back. As I mention in the vlog (further down) I get knots in my upper back and shoulder muscles from working in front of the computer all day. I also have a bit of a problem with the lower back muscles right above the right pelvic bone, so she rubbed that area as well :wub:

 

 

And I recorded a vlog for this challenge too

 

 

I should ask her to give me massages more often :D

Final update for now is for last week's challenge, which was to declutter at home. I realized that decluttering my entire house, or even an entire room in one go would be too big of a undertaking, so I went for just clearing out one cupboard, cleaning it, sorting through everything in there and then putting back what I wanted to keep. It's the cupboard in the kitchen where we keep all our tea.

 

 

Here's a photo of the knives I mention in the vlog

It's more work than you'd think doing all these TODO challenges, isn't it? :) 

It really is.  Speaking of which, I am going to fail again this week - I have plenty of excuses (don't know where to buy seeds, garden, etc.) but the real reason is that I have no confidence the plants would survive. All of our house plant plants have a very low survival rate  :D

And I found some "miracle fruit" seeds I bought last year: Synsepalum Dulcificum -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum

Also I put a sapling from my money plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crassula_ovata in another flowerpot.

I'm impatient with my planting/growing stuff. So I chose cress and chia. Should be ready to harvest in less than a week! Perfect :) Everyone I know have probably tried growing cress at least once in their life. But chia is not as common. It'll be interesting to see what I and the rest of the family thinks about the taste. A bit of an experiment is always fun Lab tube 

 

I recorded the vlog/video holding my phone in one hand and trying to do everything with the other hand. It's more difficult than you would think! :D But after a retake or two, and some editing it turned out alright Thumbs Up

 

 

Here's s a photo of the "planted" seeds

I prepared the seeds at about noon today, and then I took this photo about ten hours later, and I can already see things happening with the cress seeds. They are much bigger now, and some are even starting to crack a little bit. It'll be interesting to see how much happens during the night!
