Yes...it's that time of year again. My own personal New Year. I'm trying for the moment to think up some resolutions and see how far I've come from last year. this blog by the way is somewhat helpful in reviewing some of it as I don't delve too personally on here obviously. I also got to name a star for my birthday in my constellation os Scorpio which while totally trivial, I think it's cool that there's a star called artjynx that's on an "official" registry somewhere. and what a great idea...there are soooo many stars and astronomers lack imagination in naming...kind of like boring street names where everything sounds the same. Like in Florida where everything has the word "Boca" in it.
But I digress anyhoo, here's the star map...
With my luck, this is probably a mistaken planet and weird little aliens are on it with poor self-esteem.
Onto the yearly review:
1. This year I resolved to not want to live like crap anymore and quit my job in San Diego to move back here to Texas. I feel this was a positive move as I now own my home.
2. I resolved to fix up my home this year and I have been doing just that albeit not as quickly as I'd like to, but it's come a long way since when I first moved in.
3. I got Mia, a new little minischnauzer bundle of joy who is still learning about where it's ok to potty. (see fixing up home above...*sigh*)
4. Resolved to just try to be creative in whatever I'm doing and that seems to be a goal that's reachable for me. I'm still working on it but at least I have a genuine interest and that's what keeps me going.
5. Reconnected with someone whom I thought was just unreachable which was great but now I'm not so sure as I'm really trying to protect myself and be caring which is a difficult thing when the other person seems to just not care again. Trying really hard not to blame myself or be negative but as he told me he got frustrated with my negativity before (which really I'm trying to work on) I'm extremely frustrated with his inconsistency, and wishy washy behavior which I see as manipulative and passive aggressive. so I'm really thinking I just need to quit trying as if he won't make a decision and in the past I always made the wrong one by thinking I should try harder I should just take it as a sign to leave him alone and feel better about myself in the long run as persuing makes me feel nothing but rejected and spirals me downward. which leads us into...
Resolutions:
1. Exercise and get outside more with my little schnauzers. To try geocaching and go hiking...even if "Mr. One strike and you're out" can't even muster up the ability to try that with me.
2. Cook at home more: I almost have the kitchen where I want it and I want to learn to cook since I'm fascinated with the food network...Maybe it's just watching other people cook.
3. To draw again and have fun with art for art sake.
4. To be nicer to myself because if I can't do it no one else will.
5. To not tolerate people being crappy to me under ANY circumstances. And yes this includes BH. I'm not going to live my life like that.
