My answers.

1. What is on your bucket list that you want to do in the next ten years?
Walk some of the Kumano Kodo. Visit DC (friends, museums). Visit Arches and/or Grand Staircase.

2. What bucket list items have you completed and enjoyed?
Visiting the UK was pretty great. I don't know if it was a bucket list item but I had a swell time.
Separate trip: saw Trinity College library. Going to any huge amazing library is a revolving bucket list item. The TOMES, people, the tomes.

3. What bucket list items did you accomplish but they weren't as great as you hoped or expected?
My expectations are pretty low.

4. What short term goal(s) are you currently working on?
Finishing the personal finance workbook. Hope to get it done this month.
Cleaning the bathroom closet. Even if I have to buy storage things to make it work. I hate buying stuff like that. What a non-functional space it is.
Going to Sultan with friends. I keep trying to make it dinner, they keep trying to make it brunch. Hope we get there soon (and that it's not brunch).

5. What middle term goal(s) do you have, and are you working on them?
Making myself something to wear. Not working on it, because deciding on a project is harder than doing it.
Curing my IBS. Always working on it.
Buying a newer/less broken car. Working on it most days.
Possibly this winter, learning one of the two guitars (I have failed at both, repeatedly.)
Getting through a whole 21-week Stronger By Science workout schedule without injuring myself.
