This last year has been a mixed bag of nuts. I had a very clear, defined plan prior to 2008 that involved me purposely isolating myself from everything so I could get my life back into focus. Very selfishly I needed to say "no" to a lot of stuff that I typically would say "yes" to for the sake of others. That was part of the plan anyway. It didn't happen, mainly due to my grandfather's diagnosis and eventually death. I don't regret any of it...in fact, I am very pleased that I had a choice to spend every single day with him during that dying process. It's left me so at peace with his passing that I can't explain it...it would sound weird to others.
After his death I thought I could go back to my original plan of selfish focus, but now its my grandmother that needs me...and then this thing going on with my dad that is a complete cluster bomb. Plus, I desperately need to figure out the job scene...cause my beautiful credit is about to get f'ed up and that will suck at forty to be untangling a few months of BS...but its close to be a cluster too.
So I guess this year my goals are simple and resolutions absent.
- Find a j-o-b...not a career. Just to get by while I work on goal #2
- Figure out a career choice and then go after it...whatever it means...school, business loans, etc
- Pay off the debts I've incurred in the last 9 months...get back to being debt-free
- Pay off the car.
- Make a plan to be in SLO county within 3-5 years
- Start looking for the parcel to put the house on
- Figure out the house - prefab or my own?
- Start aggressively investing for primary goal of funding the house, alone
- Socialize the dogs
- Declutter the studio
- Declutter the storage facility and garage
- P90X - looks like a 6 month deal there
- Build the road bike and ride
- Add coral to the reef tank
- See a doctor and dentist
- See an orthodontist and slap on braces
- Start dating
- Hawaii for Christmas
