3 Months Into Being 29

I'd say that the first 3 months of being 29 flew by but instead I feel like my birthday was forever ago & that I've been 29 for a year.  Unless point blank asked how old I am, I say I'm 30 when talking about how old I am.

I suppose I've had a semi-productive 3 months?  I only have 3 of the 30 completed, but I have 9 more in the process, ...and gave up on 2 about a month in...  Some of the ones that aren't started yet are because I can't yet.  Restaurant week isn't until August, Pi Day & my 4th 101 aren't until March, & I *could* start the Whole30 & give up alcohol but I've already decided I'm doing that mid-March to mid-April.

1. Use the 1 Sec Everyday app to document the last year of my 20s
**I deleted the app.  It was random pictures or even more random videos because I'd get to the end of the day, realize I had just been in the car, at work, or watching TV at home, think "oh shit" & then add something stupid to the app.**
