Another two month status report for March/April 2010! :)

• Finally called my audiologist and booked/went to an appointment (and then some). Had been avoiding that for a year or so now, so it's really good to get it done. It will surprise no one (no one who's been around me lately anyway) that my hearing has declined significantly in the last 4 ( Read more... )

The last few months have been really busy for me, and I missed the status report at the end of January. So here's one for both months! Here's the new/hard things I accomplished in the past two months:

• Went to a workshop at Further Confusion on spinning (poi specifically). Was really, really hard to be there and was stressed and having trouble ( Read more... )

Since Project 2009 was such a huge success, and I don't want to stop working on it, so I'm continuing it pretty much unmodified through the next 12 months. Since it's not a new project (more of an extension of Project 2009), I'm going to keep calling it Project 2009 as I have been. The changes to it will be:

• Giving myself permission to have 'rest ( Read more... )

Project 2009 came full circle as planned, spent the night at a rave organized by the same people as the one I missed last year due to not speaking my mind, and at the same venue. Despite some issues with a fire alarm (and being outside in the winter without a coat), malfunctioning power (and a temporary lack of audio because of it), and some... ( Read more... )

At the end of 2008, I started a project to "keep working on taking chances, speaking my mind, and not trying to fit into how everyone sees me just because I'm scared of what they'll think of me if I don't act like they think I should". I didn't know if it would continue past the first month or two, I didn't know if I would get anything major done ( Read more... )

At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in December:

• Went to our last lead climbing class, became lead certified at Rock Oasis and started lead ( Read more... )

If Project 2009 has taught me anything so far, it's that I shouldn't be accepting things that are "probably as good as they'll get" if I'm not satisfied with them at that level. In talking to a number of people recently (including my mother on the weekend and my therp today) and doing a lot of thinking, I've realized that a number of my strategies ( Read more... )
