The past month has been the ultimate “fly by the seat of my pants” kind of whirlwind. It’s been a mostly fun, occasionally icky (health, weather-wise), time.
Now, my Christmas treats are nearly gone, home care is resuming, and I’m back in the office. My body is desperately trying to adjust to a sudden lack of chocolate, cold medication, and late morning wake-ups. My brain doesn’t seem to be faring much better right now, either.
It shall pass, though.
Cheers!
It's a new year and the planning is already well underway.
Over Christmas break, I started adapting my Before I'm Forty plan for 2025. I realized shortly after that it becomes the Forty plan in a matter of months. (eek!)
I've kept the same basic areas I want to work on this year: Work, Myself, Travel and Events, Social, Writing, and Health. This year, Work and Health come first.
A recent cold made me realize I need to refocus on my lungs, and I need to develop new routines regarding medication and physio. I also need to get back on the treadmill, probably for longer time periods. I should probably find some longer shows to watch while I do that.
Work, I've already written about.
When it comes to myself, I really just want to prioritize finding someone other than a family member who can cut my nails. It's one of those things that really shouldn't be so hard to find, but it is. I have the number of a footcare clinic nearby, so getting an assessment there and opening a file might be a good idea for when/if I'm in a bind. Other than that, I'll see what homecare can do.
Now for the fun stuff.
This March, I'm super excited to have tickets to see Our Lady Peace and Collective Soul live in concert!! I'll be on the floor, and will probably be hoarse or deaf the next day, but I can't wait! Digits being crossed for good health and weather.
I've written about it for the last couple years, but this May I really want to go back to TCAF and not chicken out of it beforehand. I just feel like I need to at least try, and prove it to myself that I can still do it. Plus, it's always pretty fun.
Lastly, I've chosen my next Bucket List trip: a few days at The Smithsonian in Washington, DC. Not likely a 2025 adventure, but I will start planning for it. As for other trips, the family's thinking Universal Studios for next Christmas, which I'm down for.
2025 will be the year I slowly begin to write a book, Becoming The Rare Writer.
And finally, continued outings, especially after winter, and more with LiveWorkPlay.
Lofty goals, and I absolutely expect to write about how poorly a few of them have managed to come along over the year, but it's a decent setup for 2025
Cheers!
