Hi Kids,
Here we are, at the first of the month again. I wonder why I keep doing this, because I only find myself disappointed every month. Who knows? Maybe by doing this exercise every month, something might eventually click with me. So here goes, the April update of my New Years Resolutions 2002:
10. Keep up with journaling. Mmmm. I guess Im alright with this one. Id like to get a little more creative. Id like to see improvement. But I guess I should be happy that Im keeping up for the most part. Its practically the only thing that I have been pretty good about.
9. Keep up with the workouts and intensify incrementally. Case in point. The only excuse I have at this point is that work is bringing me down. Im going to try to use that one a lot here. Lame excuse. Lame. Actually, its inexcusable. Shame on me. I should drop and give myself twenty for that. Maybe tomorrow. Im going to pack my workout clothes. Lets see if I can get off work in time for my kickboxing class. I wonder if Ill know anyone there anymore. Sad. So sad.
8. Eat healthfully! Eh. Lately, Im so nervous at work that I either dont eat lunch at all or I wolf something down at the speed of light. My stomach is constantly in knots, and Ive been drinking a lot at night. I suck.
7. Nurture close relationships. Mmm. Well. I have been keeping in touch with Best Bud via mobile phone a lot lately. I had really been beating myself up over Becca, but Ive been doing a lot of thinking about our relationship. When we get together, we always end up talking about work. Lately, I havent really wanted to talk to her about work—at all. So yes, Ive been avoiding her. Im going to stop feeling guilty about that one, and start concentrating on getting myself into a better situation. Honestly, thats my number one goal right now.
6. Limit online time. Well. Hell.
5. Take a romantic vacation! Havent thought about it in a month.
4. Try to chill at work. Amendment: Find a New Job.
3. Cherish parents. Went to see them yesterday. Hung out all day with them doing the Easter thing. Went to their church with them, which made them happy. There was an early breakfast, which is always good. But then they tried to set me up with the youth minister, which is never .ever good. But he was so cute about it and we talked for a while. Actually, he was very handsome and we had plenty in common, but it was embarrassing nonetheless.
2. Go above and beyond.Im going to repeat this for the third month in a row (getting tired of this one yet?): Right now, I can’t even get there, let alone go above and beyond.
1. Stop putting yourself in risky situations. Better. Much better. You may recall, I this was an amendment from the original Stop Getting Drunk resolution. Sure, Ive been drunk a few times this year. Im not proud, its just a fact. But I havent put myself anywhere close to a situation like what happened New Years Eve. Now, Im conscious of my surroundings and only over indulge when I know Im safe and sound.
So theres the April Fools Update. I started this update last night and Im up early so that I can work on a project that I brought home from work (I was there most of the day on Saturday), that I didnt finish over the weekend. I wrote an entry about Ethan, the subject of my fear-of-the-jinx in the last entry, while I was at work and then forgot to post (I was in a hurry to get out of there so I could meet him for a late lunch!). So I hope to be able to update that situation today.
And now its Monday morning. Im feeling the dread already. Pathetically, I cant even boost my morning with a strong cup of coffee because I forgot that I was out of beans. Im drinking coffee that was made from old grinds. See? Pathetic. I guess that means that I should just get my ass hauled to work where I can finish my project and then get some real coffee.
Im hoping nobody plays any mean-spirited jokes on me today. Hoping doesnt mean that Im not bracing!
Happy April Fools, Fool.
