I do mention every month the things I have accomplished with my 19 in 2019 list, but I wanted to do one post every 3 months as a overview of how I am doing. If you want to read more about the goals I write a monthly post about the goals I worked on each month.
My goal for the 3 month update was simply to have started on all/most of the goals.
Nineteen books read (11/19)
This goal has gone pretty well! Almost done! I am reading book number 12 at the moment. I definitely think I will accomplish this goal!
Eighteen postcard sent. (4/18)
I still need to send 14 postcards! I really should start getting people’s addresses and start sending some!
Seventeen crafted items sold. (0/17)
This goal is huge for me. I want to be able to create things that are good enough so someone will buy them. I also need to put myself out there and actually try to sell the things I make.
Sixteen different types of edible plants grown. (0/16)
I am at zero, but that is fine. I have planned on starting the seeds after Easter. I am still sure that I will accomplish the feat of growing sixteen different edible plants!
Fifteen items embroidered. (0/15)
I am severely disappointed in myself for not having started on this goal! I just need to buy some supplies and I can start. By the next update I will have started on this!
Fourteen make up (or nail polish) items used up. (2/14)
Two items used up, twelve to go! I am being doubtful that I will manage to finish twelve more of makeup items. I might though since I am using some makeup every day.
Thirteen hikes. (0/13)
I don’t like hiking in snow and cold wind. Alas, no hikes so far.

Twelve socks knitted (2/12)
In my mind I had planned on knitting a pair of socks every month. So I am about two months behind. However, realistically it only takes me about 3 days to knit a pair of socks so I am not worried.
Eleven different breads baked (4/11)
This one is going great! I love baking bread, I just need to think of more breads to bake!
Ten things that are no longer plastic. (1/10)
This one is a slow one at the moment. But I do think that I will accomplish this goal. However, I don’t want to replace plastic things that are still in use, I only replace the things that I am getting rid of. Like now we have bamboo toothbrushes since it was time to get new ones.

Nine (or fewer) plastic bottles used. (0/9)
I am still at zero plastic bottles. It helps that I have stopped drinking soda.
Eight times out to pick trash. (0/8)
Seven articles published. (0/7)
That is a big fat zero! I have been emailing newspapers here but no one has been answering so far.
Six items of clothing made. (3/6)
Half way done! I am pretty sure I will accomplish this!
Five kilometres running without stopping. (0/5)
Not even started on this goal. I still want to accomplish it and I am thinking about it frequently, which is not enough.

Four months of expenses saved. (0/4)
Having been unemployed in the beginning of the year and then the Icelandic Student Loan Fund being a huge dick I did have not managed to save any money.
Three camping trips. (0/3)
Not surprised this hasn’t happened since we have had a real winter here in Iceland.
Two overseas trips. (0/2)
I am thinking about changing this one a bit since I am not sure I want to fly at all this year. And living in Iceland it is quite hard to travel overseas without flying!
One recipe book cooked. (6/86)
I haven’t been doing so great with this goal. I need to start cooking from the book again! There are some dessert recipes that I really want to make. Hopefully by doing so I will be excited about the book again.
That is it for today! As you can see I am not doing too badly with my goals! Onwards and upwards.
