And now for something more person-ish...

Apologies for the radio silence over the last week or so - I've been partying hard over New Years, and the times I have been online I've had the attention span of a ferret on speed. However, back to work today and desperately trying to avoid actual work, so here's me, in the Livejournal!

First up... mail! [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], thanks so much for the Amazon package of doom. *grins* I think I have all the Harry Dresden books now, and whilst I haven't had a chance to listen to the CD yet due to visitations, you can bet I will. Thanks again.

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], your parcel arrived yesterday - we're at 2241, not 3241. ;) Thanks for the munchies and the card, especially the ginger candy. :) [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], we definitely need to have lunch now since I have peach cobbler bars for you. ;)

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] left yesterday, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], doqz and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] all leave today, leaving just [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] until the weekend. Woe. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to having a quiet month, if only to catch up on sleep! It's been fantastic to see everyone, and this year was one of the most fun NYE parties I've had - I even avoided the tearies despite the six cups of sangria I had!

No resolutions for me, but I do have a sort of To Do list for the year. Starting next Monday, since I really need to have a bit of a break after the past two weeks.

Financial:

* Pay off credit card (around $5000 AU)
* Pay off various personal debts (around $2500 AU)
* Create ING Canada savings account and sock away $50 a month, initially towards the personal debts, then for personal savings.


Fitness:

* Do more activity:
1) Immediate goal is to get off the subway at Keele every day after work and walk home. Distance = 1.4 km. Increase that to Dundas West (2.1 km) over winter.

2) Ice skating - find out who was interested in that and arrange outings.

3) Tai Chi - call club re classes.

4) Spring: cycle at least twice a week. Seek out local cycling clubs if necessary for motivation.

* Drink more water - aim at two 750ml bottles a day
* Drink less alcohol - system needs to detox as it is.
* Diet - cut back on the starches again. More salad and vegetables. Eat on weekends.

Personal:

* Counselling - Work on thought records more often.
* Guitar - Practice. Every day for fifteen minutes, minimum, after getting home.
* Expand social circle - see fitness. Joining some kind of sport club = good.
* Furniture - get some for room to counter temporary visitor vibe.

Immediate:

* buy cat food
* clean kitty litter weekend done by [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] due to lurghi
* clean apartment - sweep and mop floors, vacuum couch, tidy room. Find places for misc. stuff amassed over the last year. Boxes = win. Clean bathroom. weekend
* catch up with XP
* catch up with email
