Original post on Feb. 4th 2008
Well, we're a month into the new year and I thought this would be a great time to update how my resolutions are going. If you recall I posted these well before New Years so I got a head start on some of them.
1) Grow a pair (if you don't know what that means... skip down to number 2.)
Working on it. I did stand up for myself today when my boss tried to blame me for my undertrained editor's mistakes... that didn't go over so well and now she probably just thinks I'm being difficult.
2) Lose 10 pounds.
Let's not talk about this one.
3) Get back to writing.
51,000 words and still going strong. I figure I'll be done with my book by summer (fingers crossed) but then comes the editing, which will be a pain in the ass.
4) Kinda tied to 3... Brush up on my English skills.
Um, trying here, but something's wrong with my brain and nothing's sticking. My mother says failure is a self-fulfilling trait.
5) Moisturize.
I tried, but my skin rebels everytime I do.
6) On Ebay.
I haven't sold anything yet, but I am getting boxes around and trying to pick out books I can part with.
7) Socialize.
So far so good. But I'm still sadly lacking in company other than JR. I need friends in Toledo dammit!
8) Forget it Baby.
The baby bug has gone away for now. I need to find a way to make me happy before I bring another life in the world. No need to fuck my kids up from birth if I can help it.
9) Doing Time.
Work is actually worse for me in 2008. It's a snowball effect right now and I'm really struggling to make it through each day. Seems like everytime I turn around I'm getting knocked on my ass again. I need to learn to cope with things better or else my fragile mental condition will morph into a full blown disorder and I'll end up on expensive drugs.
10) ...
My original list did not have a number ten and neither does this one. I have enough on my plate as it is.
Not exactly a positive start to the year. I wish I could say I have faith it will get better, but I don't. Can I go cry in a corner now?
