1. Stop Right Now!! Stop clinging to the notion that Q. will suddenly wake up and be your boyfriend…whatever that means. He is not even desirable as a mate. Seriously. You know this. Oh man, the things you could list out here. Like his disgusting eating habits, the fact that he has no money, that you keep completely different hours, and that he’s simply a dick. But that’s another list for another time. Or not. He’s not worth your wasted tears. He’s not worth a second of your worry and wonder. He does not deserve you (written with a nod to [BJ], [ED], [RWS], et al).

2. The Nest: Finish decorating the loft. This includes pix and other decorative pieces up off the floor and hanging in proper position. This includes buying a new head- and footboard for the new mattress and box spring. Then! You can go buy all new, pretty bedcoverings! And a new rug, and another bookshelf for the living room, and…and… You deserve it!

3. Celebrate! Find someone new to help you christen that new bed.

4. Get back on the wagon. Admit it. You know you’ve been letting yourself backslide quite a bit when it comes to eating, drinking, and working out. You’ve gained 5 lbs. This hot bod deserves better. Treat it right, and it will pay dividends. You know this because you’ve experienced it before. It may be hard around this time of year, but you’ve done it before. The goal: 10 lbs by end of year.

5. Stop Stressing. Sure, you sometimes have nightmares about the world going to hell and your biological clock is ticking louder and louder, but the more you freak out about that shit, the worse you make it. You can only do what you can do. You voted your conscience. You can always adopt. You are a good and decent human being. You always try your best (except during that Pilates class the other day when you totally slacked off…but you know what I mean).

6. Plan that vacay. Figure out what you want to do during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. I’m thinking road trip. But where? This could be very interesting….

7. Stop making To-Do lists that are too long and impossible to complete. Done.
