This is my monthly update. It seems like I only really have enough stuff to talk about once a month... no biggie.

I have been working on some things. Mostly keeping busy which is a big thing for me. I mentioned in my last blog that I was hoping to avoid the post holiday/new years blues... and I appear to have avoided it... I had lots of undecorating to do and decided to clean the basement... my room needed a major overhaul and getting out of the house daily was a big thing for me... lists are also important... I make my list of things to do and I try to get them done one by one... and the big thing is to keep that list and cross things off... that way you can have some sense of accomplishment...

Right now I have on my list... Renew car license (which is due before my birthday on Feb 5th)... Get new glasses (which I have been putting off forever)... Make dentist appointment (also something I have been putting off)... Keep researching a new therapist and of course make the appointment...

My year goals are hopefully feeling better and working in some way by the end of the year... but one step at a time... I also have been working on my weight... I gained about 10 pounds after I lost 32.5 last year... and I have lost 5 of those gained pounds so far... I have another 30 pounds after that to lose... that is another goal for this year...

I got mostly money for christmas but unfortunately I am itching to spend it.... also unfortunately I have to stop myself because it is money that I need to last me for a while... especially if I am not working.... I am drolling over a new printer.. camera... more memory for my computer... and other things... I just have to realize that my computer works well enough... my printer does what I need it to do and my camera is good enough and I don't use it often enough to get a new one...

Anyway hope all is well with everyone and hopefully I will update sooner than a month from now...
