Wow. 2009. Anybody want to join me in pondering where the heck 2008 went? I don’t remember a whole year since last New Year’s Eve. I don’t.
That went way too fast.
So. 2009. You won’t find resolutions here; those never work for me. But there are some things I want to change, and I’m thinking now is a good time to consider them.
I really need to start exercising more. I took a step in the right direction today, by shaving my legs. (no, really.) It’s the right direction because now I can go to Curves without the need to shave first.
I want to stay on top of my house better. It’s been pretty good–possibly better than I’ve ever kept it–since I moved in, but I still want a bit better. It’s such a pretty place. I want it to look that way all the time. Not to mention order and peace are better for me and the kid both.
I want to spend more time with my family and friends. I can relax a bit now, really. I have seven complete novel drafts, and one of those is on submission. I can take a bit of time for those who really matter. I can. Now to break, or at least ease, the habits of five years or more…
The hermit thing came about for a lot of reasons, really. The money one is still there, but…well. There are still lots of things I can do without that. Once I’m willing to set foot outside my house.
I want to take the kid out in the desert to see the stars. It’s been far, far too long since I did that myself.
I want to spend more of my writing time doing writing things. I spend far too much of it wandering cool websites and such. Perhaps I could learn to disconnect from the network. (don’t tell me how, I know the technical steps. It’s the other part that’s hard.)
I want to finish my incomplete fanfics, and get them and the finished ones, a chapter at a time, posted here.
Hmm. Health, house, family, writing, web presence…think that’s about it.
Maybe, as it’s 02:50, I should put something on the list about getting to bed early (earlier, at least?)
Naw.
