If October had a word of the month for me, it would be recalibrate. My SUV needed to have safety software recalibrated as part of a recall. We met with our financial planner to recalibrate our overall financial plan and update goals now that we’re three years into retirement. Hubs is currently at MD Anderson for his scheduled check-up. This time tomorrow, we’ll be recalibrating future plans as needed based his scans, bloodwork and biopsy results.
Personally, volunteer activities have also had to be recalibrated to accommodate program/facility changes, personal preferences and major upcoming home projects. Soon, Sadie & I will be starting a R.E.A.D. program at a school in a Fulton County. This makes me happy because I was truly bummed when Park Street indicated they couldn’t continue the R.E.A.D. program this year. Yes, Sadie & I will still make occasional visits there, but in a different capacity.
As far as sewing and quilting go, I’ve stepped back from any new charity sewing initiatives and a few guild events to focus on my own projects and those of my private students. Recalibrating our financial goal wish list led to some breathing room in the monthly budget. This helps us deal with the rising costs of everyday living, plus be able to tackle some minor sewing studio updates I’ve had on my list.
