Goals
- Start apartment shopping! I’ve dabbled a bit on Pinterest, but now I need to take it into the real world and kick things into high gear when it comes to planning for my upcoming move.
- Run two times this week. I’m having a lot of trouble getting back into running, so setting this goal to be pretty small.
