2026 Fettle Those Finishes Mid-Year Update

2026 Fettle Those Finishes mid-year update

I'm linking up with one of my favorite online personalities Mini Archie the Wonder Dog and his wonderful person, Helen, to check in on how my plan is going in 2026. This is in addition to the monthly Linky parties.

If you'd like to join in, please do so at the 2026 Fettle Those Finishes! progress report blog post.

This year has progressed very well for my project focus. Picking 5 projects to focus on at one time has been an excellent way to make progress every day/few days on main project(s) without feeling badly for neglecting the others.

As a household update, Wiki will turn 2 in 2-weeks and he's much better behaved. Osky is all better and we're weening him off his low steroid dose in the next 2 months. My job is still there which is excellent. Hubby is doing alright. I've found a new Primary Care Doctor and am hoping to make some healthier life choices for the rest of the year and into the future so I can continue to Furtle!!!
