Time is running out.

Well, there are just under 12 hours left in 2013. I’m looking around (both physically and mentally) and trying to figure out what I can wrap up in that time, to say it was accomplished in this year. Based upon my level of spoons, there’s not much in the way of cleaning that can happen, so it’s going to have to be somewhat more sedentary tasks.

I finished writing my thank you cards, and a birthday card to my mother. I even went so far as to find some stamps and put said cards in the mail box. (For those of you who write physical mailings, you’ll know that this is, by far, the most difficult step.) (Crap. I just realized I forgot to put the flag up on the mailbox. Be right back.)

Ok. Where was I? Oh, right. Stuff I can finish this year.

  • I could upgrade my laptop to Mavericks, but that seems a bit like tempting fate.
  • There’s a book or two I could finish. I was hoping for something a little more active.
  • If I knit madly for most of the rest of the day, I could finish Missy’s cowl. Could happen, but my hands kind of ache at the thought of it.
  • I could finish my Hitchhiker shawl. I mean, the knitting is already done. I just have to weave in loose ends, soak it, and block it. That might actually happen.
  • I could finish my Clara cardigan. It’s almost done. The knitting is done, and one half of the seaming is done. But, I think that, without peer pressure or mocking, it’s unlikely to happen. (I really hate seaming. Another reason I’m really looking forward to Harvest, the next knit-along.)
  • I could destash my yarn. This is… highly unlikely. But it could happen, in some universe.
  • I could clean off my desk. Tee hee hee. I’m such a cut-up.

Suggestions? Do you have anything that you’re trying to wrap up this year, just to check that checkbox?
