Continuing to force the cedar out of my system. Feeling even better this morning, but not looking forward to a full day.
Things moved quickly at work. We already have an interim CIO, and it's the person that several people want to be the new CIO. Now the oversight committee wants him to put together a report that will hopefully give them an idea of where we are. Overall positive, so we'll see how things go. I'm back to considering whether I want to put my hat in the ring for the Development Manager position.
Last of the holiday obligations is tonite. Going to dinner with MIL and her uncle, which won't be too bad. I think my relationship with MIL is slowly healing now that we don't live together, but it still has a long way to go.
Looking back at 2007, I realize that it felt very stagnant. I don't feel I moved forward at all during the year. There are a lot of reasons for this, primarily MIL living with us for four months, but that is something I want to change in 2008.
Goal #1 - Get my office and books organized. Create my space. We've decided to turn our middle room into a library area, so I just need to get the bookcases moved, arranged, and filled.
Goal #2 - Continue to improve our finances. First step is for me to pay off my negative balance in our joint account, the second step is to work with C to create a plan to handle future family visits without throwing our money out of whack.
