So when the clock rolled to 12:01 am on January 1st 2016, I started making a list of all of the things I was going to change and things I was going to start doing...
1. Lose Weight/Get Healthy (Don't most people have this on their list?)
2. Get my business going. I love to do crafts, it will be fun!
3. Start doing stuff for myself. The kid is off at college, 18 and I need to start doing things for me!
4. Become more active.. I have friends, but I need to start going out more and doing more things.
5. Get organized. I'm a mess, I'll admit it. I know where most stuff is, but it's chaos.
6. Figure out where I want to go.. Do I want to continue living where I do, or should I move?
7. Start dating... (Hello Match.com...)
I went to bed with all of these amazing things in my head that I was going to start doing in 2016.. 2016 was going to be my *itch!
I woke up thinking about all of the things I needed to get done before my kid headed back to school, everything she needed. The dating thing.. It would probably be a waste of time even signing up for Match, until I could lose some weight. Nobody wants to date the fat middle aged chick. I'm doomed to be a crazy dog lady (I don't have cats).
I did start looking online for all of the different craft ideas of things I want to start making.. then i got a little overwhelmed. There is SO much out there to make! Seriously, it's pretty crazy!
I need to do stuff for myself, as soon as I finish doing the things that I promised everyone else I would do or help with. (Did I mention that I have a REALLY tough time telling anyone NO?)
The business, I started doing stuff at the end of 2015, but I never had enough time to get fully immersed, can I really carve out time to do it all? Can I learn to tell my friends that this is a solo enterprise and the things I'm doing, I'll ask for help when I want it.. I know they mean well by offering to help, but it is something I want for me, and I have a vision, that I can't often translate into words or explain how to do? Plus training someone takes LOADS of time. Is it easier to just shut it all down? IDK
After having my kid around for a very draining month, spending "quality time" with my family, really I think for the next month, I'd love to just veg in front of the TV and catch up on Netflix shows, or read some books.
Moving? My lease isn't up until this summer, so there's really no reason to start planning now. Give it a couple of months, right?
Seriously, what made me think that anything would be different this New Year? Why would things change this year, when they didn't change much last year? I guess it's up to me. I need some determination, but right now, I just wish I had some cake and hot chocolate and a Netflix TV show that could hold my interest for more than a couple of episodes.
Anyhow, time to sign off and do something productive.. Maybe?
