Progress Report
Well on the goals for this year. I have worn makeup probably more this month than I did in half of last year. I've been eating better and have had breakfast about 90% of the days this month. I have not lost my phone or my keys in over a week even for just a few minutes so that's good as well. I have a planner and I've been using it. I bought a portable one to take with me places and another larger one to stay at home that is a big family/home organizer type thing. I've read three books already this month and am in the middle of four more. I've decided to try to read at least 2 non-fiction books every month, so I'm concentrating on finishing one of the nonfiction ones right now. I figure it's doable especially considering the nonfiction books I own (not to mention the ones I want to read). Thursday I'm going to go pay my fine at the library that I haven't gotten around too so that when I need to I can go there, but that will be awhile. I am exercising more, missed my appointment with my trainer on friday due to being at the mechanics, but I will be going to the gym tomorrow and rescheduling it as well. Plus now the power steering leak is all fixed! I am slowly getting my life in order. I found an endocrinologist for Tommy, granted I have to drive a bit over an hour to get to them, but I don't anticipate having to be there a lot. They're part of the Nemor's children's hospital network as well which I've heard good things about. I got a 40 cent raise at work after my year evaluation. I was rated a "solid performer" and a "role model" in my department. Basically on a 5 point scale I got mostly 4s and one 5. Not bad. I have to watch my absences for awhile though, but that shouldn't be hard I don't expect me or Tommy to be sick anytime soon.
Been spending more time with Tommy and he loves it. We watched Big Bang Theory together today, that's become kind of a weekly thing with us. We both love the show and it's 20 minutes of just us and the tv and hanging out. Tommy has decided he loves doing laundry and I am all for encouraging it.
I cleaned out the old car today so I can call the salvage place that's going to come pick it up to come get it. They're paying me a bit for it though not much, but enough to help with bills and stuff. Tomorrow I clean out the van though it doesn't need much and clean my room as well as some errands. Then tomorrow night is D&D, yay!
Tommy is grounded for 2 weeks because he didn't do his homework and lied to me about it for a second time. I'm hoping to get this through to him somehow, plus I'm keeping a close eye on him with homework. He was out of school today because he developed an eye infection over the weekend and was still contagious today. His eyes look much better today after having had the eye drops and he'll go to school tomorrow. He hates the drops and is very anxious for the week of drops to be over but he's good about letting me do it. Thank goodness for insurance.
So, I'm getting somewhere on my goals. I have two new pairs of dress shoes which count towards the nice office clothes goal and a new skirt that could be in that category as well. The new skirt came from a consignment shop and was an accidental find. It's a size 14 and I bought it thinking I'd fit into it eventually but tried it on for fun and it fit which means I love this skirt.
I am hopefully taking Tommy to Medieval Times for his birthday if he behaves well, and possibly taking him to Kennedy Space Center sometime soon which covers #9. So now I need to work on the others that I haven't started on, but I think considering it's still January having started working on at least half my goals is pretty good.
