llcoolvadOne month over for the year, checking in on the resolutions.
1. I resolve to keep up with my meds. I am sometimes willfully bad about them. No more.
I have had just about 100% compliance here. Yay!
2. I resolve to fit exercise into my life.
Other than a shitload of chores and a bunch of shopping and recycling, nothing here. Not to make any excuses, but I find January/February to be my personal hibernation time, so I'll be surprised if I make any real progress here until the beginning of March.
3. I resolve to move out of here before the end of the year.
Filed taxes, refund on way. Refund earmarked for adding to my "move out" fund. Many RE sites perused, areas narrowed down. Still need to wait until May, so good progress here. Next step will be winnowing down stuff to make the move easier.
4. I resolve to spend more time with my friends.
This month I've spent time with Suzanne, Stephen and Val, Patrick, and Jenn. Emails with a few other people. IM sessions with a few others. Also found my childhood friend almost-brother through Facebook. Had been out of touch for years! And he lives 2 towns over! Big win on the social side.
5. I resolve to maybe consider perhaps thinking about dating again. Maybe. Possibly.
Gave it some thought. Even read some profiles on okcupid and sciconnect. Just at the thinking stage! Which is really all I resolved to do. Only a little over a month since the breakup; I have plenty of time.
I'll also do my usual stuff that keeps me happy: I will take more pictures, read more books, watch more tv and movies, and listen to more music. I'd like to take another trip this year. Maybe abroad — I have my shiny new passport, after all!
Read 5 books, took some pictures, caught up on some tv, watched some more movies, and have been listening to a TON of music. Started looking at vacation destinations, too.
So that's pretty good. With the exception of exercise I'm making progress. I think I need to still try a bit harder to get out and see people. I also need a little more variety in my activities. But it's overall positive. Yay!
