We have an interesting batch of neighbours and other helpful folk, including one cat, to become helpful cheering-up characters as our house sagas move forward. This week it's time to tackle some project around the house you have inherited. Make it something small-to-medium, that you can complete successfully. Tell us what it is, how it goes, and how triumphant you feel when it's done! Possibly your helper character assists, or takes you for a drink when it's over.
Also check in on last week's goals, listed below, and set some goals for the coming week.
