How I did it: Made a list of books I owned that I "should" read. This year I included more fiction. Then started reading them. Usually I read every night before falling asleep as well as while waiting for medical services for myself or family members (lots of reading time there). For the last six months I haven't really been able to read anywhere near as much. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I spent over two years meaning to do this, and not. Then I began to suffer some serious and painful medication side effects which I could not escape. My MD told me that I HAD to walk 30 minutes each day. This was in early March. I was totally sedentary, so I started out at 5 minutes each day, 3 or 4 days a week. I gradually upped it to 30 minutes, 4 or 5 days a week over a period of 2 months. Then I got sick (my doc says prob. swine flu) … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I made a list of books I wanted to read. It was quite a bit longer than 12. I read the "core" 12 books I set out to read and most of my alternates. I also added in other books that I already owned which seemed to fit the themes I was reading. I was able to do the reading by spending less time watching TV and perpetually having my nose in a book when I wasn't up to something else. Read how I did it…
I have various search-engines operating in “clipping service” mode. So today I published my first Road Rage Roundup, which includes pitchforks and hot coffee. What do you think, does a roundup of amusing news stories work?
1. A good night’s sleep.
2. Some good discussions yesterday about possible career directions.
3. Shade-grown organic dark-roasted coffee. (Now why can’t I find shade-grown, organic, fair-trade coffee?)
4. Fresh raspberries on my Grapenuts.
5. A copy of Sims 2 on its way here.
6. Alice and Kev, the homeless sims.
1. An updated computer operating more smoothly.
2. Work to do which will have great long-term payoffs.
3. Kisses over coffee.
4. A good night’s sleep.
5. Being able to take my daughter to school this morning, without kvetching, when she overslept and missed her bus.
