End of the Year; Beginning of the Year
So I finally fingured out why I'm so miserable--I have a cold! I know that makes me sound like a knucklehead, but while I have allergy attacks as easy as kiss your hand, colds are not something I have a great deal of experience with. I have dipped into my penicillin supply, am megadosing with Vitamin C (again), investigating decongestants, and nauseating myself with Nyquil. I must get better by Friday so I can take The Budding Wonderment to Avatar--she gets out of school early! Woo hoo!
So, is it wrong I'm already thinking about New Year's Resolutions? Yeah, I know they're stupid, but it's kind of fun to forgive myself for the previous year, learn from it, scrap it, and get a fresh start.
So, not in any order of what needs to be achieved first:
1) Get a job
2) Finish The Horses of Achilles. This is not as impossible as it sounded last year. 2 chapters and a bit left. Well, and then the revisions. I may be boring you guys with a lot of mention of this in the weeks to come.
3) Get counseling. This is dependent on #1, so we'll see. Happily, the bulemia is way, way, way down. Like no episodes for 3 months, I think.
4) Bikini Body By My Birthday! (Which is July 8.) baronalejandro showed me this is possible, bless his heretical little heart. Now I must believe it, and Work It.
5) Do more housework. Every weekend, devote at least one hour to the house. This is doable!
I think that's enough for now. I'm trying to get more concrete with my goals instead of non-concrete things like, "Be a better mom." These are measurable goals, and I'm gingerly excited about them. Now for another nap....
