Snowflake Challenge #1 & #2

Challenge #1My fandom information is basically the same but I made some minor edits to my Intro Post.
Update your fandom information. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Challenge #2First, let's review last year's goals and see how I did:
In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
2023 Fannish Goals:
- Read 50 total books, 7 nonfiction. ✅
- Finish reading the 2015 main Star Wars comic run and the concurrent Dr. Aphra run, start reading the 2020 run written by Charles Soule ✅
- Finish at least two of my currently in-progress Star Wars vids. ❌ (only managed 1 of 2)
- Make another Babylon 5 vid ❌
- Get an eye exam ❌
- Find a new PCP doctor and get my epi-pen renewed, it's is so expired ✅
- Continue cooking from scratch on a regular basis and try a new recipe at least once a month✅
- Enjoy life as much as possible, maybe find a direction that feels meaningful along the way.❌
- Get out hiking more ✅
- Visit The House On The Rock ✅
2024 Goals:
A good chunk of these are fannish, but not all.
Reading Goals:
- Read 60 books
- 18 of those being nonfiction
- Finish reading Star Wars: The High Republic Phase I
- Finish two other book series I've started but not completed, preferably ones that I already have the last volume(s) of on my TBR pile.
Creative Goals:
- Make & post 3 fanvids
- Finish 3 fibercraft projects, now that my hand pain is better.
- Do 5 writing exercises from a book of prompts I have
Monthly Goals:
- Watch at least 1 new movie per month
- Go on at least 1 outing/social excursion per month.
- Cook at least 1 new recipe per month
I also have some goals related to my living space, health, school, and work, but I think I'll keep them private for now.

Best of luck with your goals! The variety looks great for a lovely, well-rounded year!

It's a somewhat long list right now, so I also bold my top couple of choices, then once I've cooked it I add it to the month section and delete it from the "to try" list.
For a while over the summer I also used the backs of old grocery lists to list out the non-pantry ingredients I needed for each of my top ~5 or so recipe ideas and stuck them on the fridge, to get a better picture of how it would affect that week's grocery run.
I also use a weekly meal planner pad (currently this one) for menu planning. I'm pretty bad at following through on making things on their intended days, but I do find it helpful for reminding me what produce is in my fridge and at risk of going bad, lol.

As for the 2023 accomplishments, those are pretty impressive!
"find meaning of life" feels like it's one of those 'forever goals' ;P
I stalled a bit on tracking my own "cook something new each month" and am trying to get back into the swing of that. Do you have a favorite of any of the new recipes you tried last year?
