Happy New Years, all!

Peace & Blessings,
Patricia

Shucks! I wish I'd seen that spreadsheet before I set mine up! I did mine in November, and I've added more features with a column for each project I'm working on and daily counts that automatically tally. I think I now have five columns, each representing a different project. I try to focus on just two, but I've found that I have to strike while the iron is hot, regardless of which project it's for!
