Things that I have yet to check off:

• My car is in excellent condition. (Doesn’t need mechanical work, repairs, cleaning or replacing) Definitely needs to be washed. And I don’t know if the busted door counts as “needing repairs,” since it runs fine.
• My home is clean and tidy. (Vacuumed, wardrobes and drawers organized, desks and tables clear, furniture in good repair; windows clean). So not vacuumed.
• My appliances, machinery and equipment work well. (Fridge, toaster, lawn mower, water heater, hi-fi etc.). F@#$-ing dryer. [UPDATE: Ha! Suck it, dryer! We opened it up and showed it who was boss :)]
• I am not tolerating anything about my home or work environment. There are some temperature regulation problems at the apartment. Much improved.
• My hair is the way I want it. I’m not sure what to do about this, since “the way I want it” is kinda expensive.

• I rarely use caffeine. (Chocolate, coffee, colas, tea) less than 3 times per week, total. Less than 3 times per day, I can do.
• I rarely watch television. (Less than 5 hours per week). That rule about not watching TV alone sure fixed this.
• I have no habits which are unacceptable to me. Less Internet, please.
• I do not suffer. Ummm…I think if you can check this one off, you’re either a bodhisattva or dead.

• I have told my parents, in the last 3 months, that I love them. That’s not really how Mom and I roll.
• There is no one whom I would dread or feel uncomfortable “bumping into”. (In the street, at an airport or party). There’s one guy. I owe him some data.
• I do not gossip or talk about others. HA!
• I am fully caught up with letters and calls. Not fully.
• I am a person of his/her word; people can count on me. I try, but I’m not there yet.
• I do not judge or criticize others. Umm…
• I make requests rather than complain. But it’s so much easier to just bitch and moan!

It bothers me that my worst category is “relationships.”
