Remember that 101 things in 1001 days challenge I've been doing? Well today is the due date.
(Not familiar with this challenge? click here)
I have to admit that I totally didn't meet the challenge and get the whole list checked off. But considering the last 6 months was completely bulldozed by a life-altering move, I'm proud to say I achieved 78 goals. 78/101 ain't half bad.
Look at what I did do!
