Day 1: Once More Into the Breach

 Howdy! Happy New Year! 

Alright- we're starting this challenge again. And to be honest, I haven't given it as much thought as I should have. I'm going to do a couple of things today, but really begin in earnest come Monday, I think. I just need to keep track of what I do everyday in a place that has the opportunity to make me accountable. 

MY RESOLUTIONS
1. Take medicaton everyday
2. Exercise more (which won't be hard to do since this is currently at 0 minutes per week.)
3. Play at least 100 board games
4. Listen to more music
5. Read 100 books
6. Complete my graduate degree
7. Learn Italian
8. Watch 100 movies
9. Learn to Art
10. Get my secret project going and successful

A checklist is going to be used to keep track of progress of the mundane things. I'm going to post more about what good things are going on in my life, things that are making me happy, things I create. We'll figure it out as we go. 

Today's Cool Stuff
If you haven't been introduced to the world of Taskmaster, allow me. Give it an episode. I guarantee, if you go in with an open mind and child-like wonder, you'll love it too. 


Today's Accomplishments
1. Had a great meaning about the design for a new project that I'm still figuring out.
2. Hugged some dogs
3. Did some secret project brainstorming.
4. Made resolutions
5. Ate a really good burrito.

Oops!

 Well, this year has turned out to be harder than I thought.  I'm going to try to start this up again come April. I turn 30 on the 25th of March so I'm a little... scared, honestly. Scared of what I'm missing out on. Scared of what's wrong with me. Scared of everything right now. Perhaps writing will help me work some of that out.  But maybe we can talk about that later. I hope y'all are doing ok, whoever you are. Until then, stay safe.

Day 2: Just Keep Swimming

Today's Cool Stuff This may not seems cool to you, but living in a desert really takes its toll on your sinuses. Good lord, I can't begin to tell you the number of times I thought that I was sick when I wasn't or had a terrible sinus headache that simply would not go away with ibuprofen and Tylenol. I just had messed up sinuses and I thought that I would die with them. I started adding saline nasal spray with aloe to my daily routine and what a huge quality of life difference. It's $6. Go pick some up if your allergies are flaring or your sinuses are terrorizing you. What an unbelievable difference. Let's make saline nasal spray cool.   Today's Accomplishments 1. Had a not one, but two naps. While this may be a bad sign for my health, it is a great sign for my sleepy time. 2. Hugged some dogs 3. Did some secret project brainstorming. 4. Started a lovely little silly romance book called "The Ex-Hex".  5. Got some bad news about graduating late last nigh...

Saturn's Return

 There's something mortifying about finding an old blog. They are always perpetually filled with old goals and dreams and hopes that never came to fruition. At least, that's how it is in my case.  Saturn's Return is an astrological term for Saturn coming back to the same position it was in when you were born. With it supposedly comes maturity, wisdom, and new growth concerning life as a whole. This last year was really the death of my Saturn's Return. My 30th birthday. This spiritual growth is supposed to happen between your 27th and 29th year. But for me, that stagnation seemed to hit even harder. The Pandemic (henceforth to be known as The Pancetta) certainly hasn't helped things. I let these dreams wither and die on the virtual floor of obscurity. It's unacceptable. But I am putting a couple of long-standing goals to bed here in the next week. I think it's time I start trying at life again. But we will be gentle this time. Kind. Forgiving. Benevolent towa...
