- 24 BEFORE 24: AN UPDATE -

So the progress on my 24 tasks had come to a grinding halt around Christmas (see previous entry), and with less than two weeks til me birthday I have to say it's looking dismay. While I'd like to imagine that there will be some type of magical turn of events (such as not having to work) and I'll be able to get the list done, I doubt it.

At least I am better prepared for my list of 25 BEFORE 25 (and will have a whole 365 days to complete it)!
