New Year.....what's in store?

So it's 12:50 am as I start this.  I am waiting for some laundry to dry so I can fold it and head to bed.  Typical me....night owl who needs to be up early tomorrow!  Throw back to my days working in the T.dot!

We are just one day into 2016 and already it's time to think about change.

Change in routines, change in our thinking......but why do we wait until now?  I guess our mentality is that a new year is a fresh start??!!  So we try and hopefully things stick.

Well, here we go......

1.  Change in Jeremy's work schedule....means changing a lot.  We need to try and plan more since it is back to shift work.  Food planning is hopefully gonna happen as well as how we deal with Winston.  My boy is gonna be so confused!!

2.  Change in my attitude....I don't wanna hold onto shit.  When something affects me, I wanna deal with it and move on.  Too much baggage if you don't throw it away!

3.  Change in body....yep, that's right.  It has to happen.  I'm not stupid, I know I need to put the effort in.  I've tried it before and now I need to get serious again.  I will not put the money out for the gym though.  It needs to be all on me to find ways to accomplish it on the cheap. Hey I've got 2 feet....time to really get them moving!!

Hopefully this year brings me safe travels to visit friends far away.  I miss them very much and hate that there is distance between us now.

I also hope to find new friendships.  But that would mean getting out there and mingling with people when I really just want to stay home and read, color, or just veg out.

May we all have great success this year in whatever we choose to try and accomplish!

Passing the time away!

Have you ever wondered why we fill our days with so many things to do?  Errands, shopping, the gym.....the list of things is endless.  Have you ever just stopped?  Spent a day doing absolutely nothing?  For those out there with kids, I know....this never happens!  But doing nothing can be......well, boring. When I "do nothing" it can drive me nuts.  I find that I still need the tv or music on.  A few hours reading a book and having a cup a cup of coffee. We don't always do these things to fill our days because they are needed....we do it because we don't want to be bored!  Bored makes us lazy and actually more exhausted than we are while constantly on the go. We complain about work, but work keeps us busy for the longest period of the day.  We complain about the hour we spend at the gym.....well, for those who do go to the gym.....but it is using up the time that we don't want to be bored! I find myself wanting "to do nothing" but rea...

The cold and dreary weather has finally set in.  A milestone for me.....buying winter boots!  Last year I gave in and bought a new coat so it seemed fitting. Thanksgiving has come and gone (in Canada....US Thanksgiving is coming soon).  With that being said, you know what is right around the corner!! MY BIRTHDAY!!!  LOL!  Oh ya, and Christmas! Mrs. Ree asked me 3 weeks ago when I will be coming to decorate her tree.  She then reminded me last Saturday that she was waiting for a date.....then again this weekend, same thing! Mrs. Ree's Tree 2012 Decorating Mrs. Ree's tree has been a tradition for so many years now, I can't even count them!  But last year was much different. Last year Valerie and Scott moved to BC.  This fact didn't really truly hit me until I went to decorate the tree. It was always just the three of us.  Val and I would start by adjusting the branches after they were crushed from being packed away...

Procrastination

Why?  A question asked all they time. Why do we say we are going to do something but we don't end up doing it? I have many "projects" that I need done or want done.  I keep saying that I am going to do them, but I don't. It's a viscous cycle that gets us no where. Maybe that needs to be one of my "resolutions" for this year.  Accomplish some of the things that have been waiting to get done. 1.  Finish the desk. 2.  Build a gate on the deck. 3.  Clean and tidy the basement. Really, it can be done.  Time to put the mind and body to work so that it will get done!
