Don't laugh ... I really make a list like this every year.
With my Aunt, Gramps, Mom and then Dad passing all within 2 years. It has been a lot of work. First helping Mom with Gramps estate, then helping Dad with Moms, and then I inherited it all. 2 houses, my rental, my apt and 2 lg storage units and tons of stuff everywhere. So lets just say that taking care of me and my things, got put on hold. Not this year. These are a few.
- Loose 15 lb and work out daily. I'm looking to get back a lot of muscle I have lost over the year
- Eat healthy, and although I do, I want to just really watch my calories by, varying up my menu and eating more vegetarian based dishes
- Really watch food costs and make sure to always look in the pantry, fridge and freezer first
- Eat out 1 every couple of weeks. Doesn't have to be fancy, just treat myself
- Try to figure out how to get more than 3-4 hrs sleep per night
- Even though, I go to the beach a lot. At least 3x per week is my goal. Also walking at my state park at least every couple of weeks
- Bike riding or rollerblading 3x per week
- Swimming when the pool is warm, every other day
- Don't procrastinate on personal appointments, work I am fine with, but I am bad with my own stuff
- Get re-certified, just update my divers certification
- Try a new recipe, at least every couple of weeks
Projects
- Replace all my outside light fixtures
- Clean out the boxes from the attic
- Sell my Dad's 200 stunt kites, or some of them
- Sell or try to get rid of some of my Dad's collectibles, since the market is finally a bit better
- Sell the remaining 10 items of furniture left from my Dad's estate. They are very expensive antiques, so it isn't an easy task
- Finish my sun room with tile, painting and the wood trim, most of it I am doing myself
- Wood floors the bedroom and Den, I will be doing that myself as well with a little help from a good friend
- Go through my Dad's final box with all the estate papers and his items and pack them up in the attic
- Go through 30 boxes of Christmas decorations and re pack them down into those items I will use at this house. My house before was double the size
- Finish 5 stained glass projects
- Finish a quilt I started 5 years ago
- Take the 22 photo albums that Mom, Dad, and my grand parents had - along with my 10 and combine them into new albums. I have so many different sizes of pictures, I need to find a album that I can add to different inserts and I would like them all to match so I can date them and personalize them.
- Finally start my glass cutting business, hand made decorative wine bottles so I can attend many of the FL based art shows. It will incorporate, stained glass, hand soldered wire trim and custom corks
I have many other projects, but that is my goal for the immediate future. I hope to be done with that in 6 months. Then
... My last goal is to take a 2 week road trip up the east coast, TN, mountains, and then up to ME, I want lobster and finish back to MI, OH and back down to GA, all to see friends. Finish at St. Augustine
And somewhere along the way, just have FUN
And yes ... I will finish them all.
Pedometer get ready, we're going to do some miles ole buddy.
