---THE ENTIRE REASON I opened this to write that last post was to fucking write about 2014 and how I am doing with my ~~sassy forward plan to sorting life out!! Hi, I'm here with Cymbalta, to discuss how I'm suddenly the moron Squall has always dreamed about.
I said in January I was going to get on a better schedule for housework and workouts. I give myself approximately 50% completion on this. The beginning of January was good - I kept the place clean! I did me a exercise a couple times a week! I was excited! But then two things happened that got me off track. First, my herniated disc locked up my neck something fierce in a way it hasn't done for probably almost a year -- this interrupted my workout schedule because I am not going to go pump iron when I can't turn my head. Second, work hit with a vengeance in January, culminating in a mostly impromptu trip to the plant for a whole week for a train-the-trainer class, which completely tanked any progress I'd made on the house. (I did actually get some exercise in the hotel pool while there, though.)
The thing is: my life is full of these disruptions. Any "plan" I put in place has to be one that will survive through shit like this; any workout plan I want to stick to needs to consider the fact that there will be weeks where the only things I do are go to work and get in the bath. So I'm coming out of January with that in mind and easing my way back into all of it with minimal guilt.
February's goal was my bedroom but it may need to be adjusted. My grandmother's health is poor and she's moving into a community, and I've offered up my basement to store her furniture in the interim, so I need to prepare for that -- I'm getting some of it for myself and storing the rest, and either way, my house and basement need to be ready for an influx of random crap. While I would love to focus on the bedroom, I may need to move the basement/rest of the house up earlier, and attack the bedroom as a slower and longer-term project instead.
This just in: life is hard.
