44. Feed the parking meter for someone random
I was at the post office today, which is one of our few places that has traditional parking meters. Most of the other spots in Towson have the machine you buy a little piece of paper from haha. So, I went into the post office, did my thing, and then maxed out the meter when I came out. Unfortunately or fortunately, that was only 50 cents cause it's a 30 minute limit on the meter. BUT those spots ALWAYS have someone in them, so I am hoping I helped out a few people going into the post office!

75.Visit my mom-mom 5 times, unrelated to family gatherings
I went to visit my grandmother today, with my dad and uncle. I am pretty sure she forgot my mom, seeing that she is getting old and crazy lol and hardly remembers anything. But I know she recognized me, so it's ok. She didn't call me by name the whole time, but she referred to "your Collin" as opposed to my brother, so I know she sill knows me.
I think going to see her more often, other than family gatherings, may help with that. She wasn't expecting all of us to show up, so I am guessing we just caught her by surprise.
First thing down on the list! Well.....sort of down haha

101 in 1001
The Challenge:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).
Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple challenges such as New Year's resolutions or a 'Bucket List'. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.
