So far, not a total failure 🙂
I have actually managed to walk every day, and built in enough extra steps that when I fell asleep at 8 pm on Thursday, my average is still above 8,500.
I spent Sunday making more cards, and walked to the post office at night to drop them off. I need to make one more card that should be sent out ASAP, and then I can start building up a stash 🙂
I adulted. Made appointments for (1) a haircut (going to go very short again; and who knows, some day, will add unnatural color to the tips), (2) an eye exam (I am so glad that I had LASIK surgery 15+ years ago, but I think it might be time to get glasses for driving and working on the computer), and (3) my car to get its oil changed (and old license plates drilled out… Wisconsin is back to “every ten years, we are gonna force you get new plates” approach to making sure people’s plates are actually readable, and while my old ones are in very good condition, I have been sitting on a pair of new plates since July, because my old plates have literally became one with the Jetta. My poor mechanic has his work cut out for him.)
My original plan was to drop the car off tomorrow and take the bus to work (since I have Leadership Academy), but Milwaukee is under a Winter Storm Advisory, and the college is closed tomorrow. So, at 9:45 pm, I had the bright idea to rope in my ex to drop the car off tonight, with a note to my mechanic: “and as usual, let me know if anything is about to fall off. Like whatever this was holding up:” (piece of plastic taped to note)”. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow if I am lucky my car has not fallen apart on me 🙂
Where does time go? I don’t have to cook or to clean (thank god for parents), but still, by the time I am done working, eating dinner, and taking a walk to get my steps in, it is time for bed :( How do other adults do it? How do normal people find time to do things they like? Why do we not have six-hour, four-day work weeks already?

I just re-read what I wrote, and good god, I am boring. No wonder I don’t have any friends.
