Clean something for 30min every other day for a month. (week 1/4)
As part of my birthday present, the housemates all chipped in and cleaned the house this week so I wouldn't have to, so it was out of my hands really, at least that is what I'm telling myself. I'm going to try to get the whole hour and a half of cleaning done today because I have the day off, so we will see how that goes.
Exercise 3 times a week for at least half an hour. (3/4)
4 hours of dancing and 6 or so hours of manic laughter? Yea, that should just about cover it. Last week for this one!

Do Laundry twice a month for 6 months (0/12)
Done! Well, I did a load. This is another one on my list of things to do today, although it depends on how much cleaning I get done.

Track all spending for one month. 
My spending was a mess this week because of my birthday, so I didn't bother restarting this one yet.

File taxes. 
Look up the address for the place, it's by appointment only, so add another thing to the list of boring crap to get done today...
Spend one hour a week improving memory for a month 2/4
Actually kind of forgot about this one this week, so apparently its not helping yet...
Draw once a month.(0/12)
Last chance to do this one for the month...
Start a dream journal and update it twice a week for a month
This has been the week of people waking me up abruptly and making me do things right away, so nothing to report here...

Eat Veggie for a month (2/4 weeks)
This one is going really well. I really don't miss meat at all when I know I'm going to have the chance to eat it at the end of the week. I think when I'm done I'll definitely eat red meat much less often, although I still don't think I could give it up altogether. 

Research Careers
I'm going to use the interesting careers from my personality profile as a starting point for my search. Hopefully this will give me some direction.

Contact 5 friends I haven't seen in over a year and see them in person (2/5)
I think my recent birthday will be an excellent excuse to get back in touch with some of the people who had nice wishes for me on facebook. That way, I don't have to feel a weird about making contact.
Become an organ donor
Found out what I need and I can do it all when I go to replace my health card, which I've been procrastinating about for ages.


I'm really excited, it looks like I might be able to cross some things off my list next week! This week was really lazy though... Oh well, I was expecting to get less done anyways. At least so far I've maintained between 151 and 153...

A Quick Update

Since I have to hide in the bathroom to type this.

Yesterday was nice. We ended up going out to a party, which was an unexpected treat. The party wasn't that great honestly but it was really nice to get out of the house and spend the night dancing. Even if I was in heels.

Today may not be so good. We were supposed to go out tonight, so of course, since I made the mistake of actually looking forward to it, it isn't going to happen. Also, I'm kinda bummed because there was someone I thought I was going to get to hang out with tonight, and that's not the case either. But I'm not going to get into that

Weight is at 152.0
I was lazy at work today, and now I'm disappointed in myself. I have all these great intentions, yet somehow I can never accomplish most of what I set out to do. I tell myself I will go to bed early, and 5AM rolls around and I'm wide awake. I tell myself I will wake up early and be productive, and I sleep 'til the last possible minute, or I wake up and laze around the house, smoking up and watching bad television until its time for work. I eat nothing at work, return home and my resolve dissolves. I just don't know. My weight is maintaining at 151.6. As long as I can stop eating now, it will probably be the same tomorrow. I hope.

It's like I can clearly see the course of action that I need to take to get to a better life, but I'm paralysed, terrified of the unknown.

I did finish one thing today. It's my birthday next week, and I just finished making my wishlist for my mother. I realized this year that she only ever buys things from the shopping channel anyway's, so I might as well go to their site and make my wishlist from there. It hurts me to do it though, the mark up on most of it is ridiculous.

Speaking of my birthday, I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's been really crap the last few years, some worse then others, but forgettable at best. I'm trying not to get my hopes up that anything will be different this year. Exboy has this speech he goes through about a month and a half before my birthday about how everything is going to be different this year, and now it just makes me kinda sad.

I also feel old. Does anyone else feel like they are missing out on something?

About Me

My photo
Where emotions should be, there is only the quiet sense of distance. I shall remain unaffected in times of crisis, calm or caring. This is not a choice, but I am strangely okay with that. What else is there to say really? It's all been said before. We are not unique and delicate snowflakes. Even that is not an original thought. (brownie points for getting the reference) Maybe one day I will have something interesting to say here but the fact of the matter is, if you really want to know, read the blog. Or ask. Whatever.
