Day 3: January 3, 2011

No. Motivation.

These two words fully describe my day.  I feel as though I have been the laziest person on the planet today!  Okay, maybe not the laziest person on the planet; perhaps not even in the top 10.  I guess it just took me longer to get started and I did less than I could have.  At least I showered today, not that that was my only accomplishment!  

I made tofu with peanut sauce for lunch/dinner/lunch tomorrow and I was ambitious enough to do laundry as well!  I gathered up all my dirty clothes and hauled them down to the creek to beat them clean against the rocks.  Not to waste the trip, I also took my dishes down.  I spent an hour picking shards of porcelain from between the rocks.

Today was a good day overall.  I relaxed a bit, but didn't completely waste my day.  I also had a pleasant phone chat with my best friend Liz, who was home with zombie plague (the flu) and two children still on Christmas break.  We've both decided that kids today spend more time on breaks from school than they actually do at school.

I'm going to go veg out some more before I decide to get some sleep.  Tomorrow starts way too early in the morning.

Day 2: January 2, 2011

Technically still day 2 since I haven't slept yet!

I just got home from playing poker with some friends.  I met some awesome people and made a few bucks in the process!  How much better can that get?

It was nice to get out of the apartment for a bit, even more so because I was on my own.  I was a bit uncomfortable at first around a bunch of new people, but I was able to work through it and make it through the night (without alcohol!).  So glad I took the chance.  I might have to make this a regular Sunday night thing, or at least every other Sunday depending on paydays.

Day 1: January 1, 2011

Well, here it is...  2011!

Yay.

Doesn't really seem that different from 2010.
Still in the same apartment, same job, same relationship, same friends, same family, same pets, same clothes; even the same food in the fridge from last January (I really should clean that out...).  I still have no car and I'm not in school.   Where did this last year go and what did I do with it?!  I need to make 2011 my year.  I need to make myself happy and do what I need to do for me.
That doesn't seem like too large of a goal, does it?  Of course not!  Not when you consider that this has been my goal for the past 8 years.  Little things change, but they're still not what I want.  They still don't make me happy.  Am I a bad person for wanting it my way?  Should I just settle into mediocrity and be happy with what I have, no matter what?   That just sounds like a terrible idea.
Maybe I can use this blog to write down my ideas and plans and opinions and just get what I need to get off my chest.  I guess I'll see where this takes me...
