I’ve been called off work today which I wasn’t too ecstatic about but it’s cool, so here’s a list of things I managed to get done:

I filed my taxes and they were accepted, but not approved yet. (yesterday)
I washed my bedsheets along with my two blankets that were just sitting on the couch. I’ve been putting the blankets off so I’m glad they’re clean now.
I ran the vacuum in my room. This is something I’ve been trying to do weekly to keep everything nice and tidy.
This is more of a personal goal for me, but I have successfully reached 16,000 VR in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This feels like an accomplishment to me since I’m not competitive in terms of this game, so I wanted to include it.
 
Forgot to update this...I completed everything on time!

To do by end of working week:
- claim for subdivision project > 90% done, just need to double check the values
- finalise claim for watermains project > waiting on client for final value
- compare new price for rain garden installation (big yikes as prices have skyrocketed) > didn't even get a chance to look at this lol
- get 30-50% of tender done got 30% done, but was hoping for more
- make plan for subdivision project for next week > going to sort this out on Tuesday with the team
Overall, a pretty unproductive week lol. Didn't get much office work done due to other issues popping up. Hopefully next week will be a bit better.

I'm updating this to remove the timeline because I can already tell I won't complete everything by the end of the weekend. And that's ok. I'm not going to pressure myself, but I am going to make sure I keep making progress until all the post-construction clean-up is done.

Unfortunately, I had a setback today. I was all set to finish up the medicine cabinet when I found out that the shelves that came in the box are the wrong size. They're about 9 inches too long. So now I have to contact the company and see if we can get those replaced. *Sigh*
