How I did it: A dear friend moved to NY a year prior to my visit, and I've always wanted to go. When airfare dropped to $99 each way on Virgin America, I jumped at the chance! Read how I did it…
How I did it: We were trying on and off for years to get a reservation, to no avail. Tried one day on Opentable earlier this year, to find a table for two at an early dinner seating within the month! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Shopping less at supermarkets and more direct from farmers by patronizing farmer's markets and local produce delivery services. Eating produce that's naturally in season as well as locally raised meats. Read how I did it…
A lab test showed me that I’m seriously deficient in Vitamin D (11 ng/mL). My doctor put me on 50,000 IUs for 8 weeks, which I’ve just finished, and now she advised me to take an OTC 1,000 IU supplement to maintain. I’m trying to soak up more sun as well, which is never a bad thing :)
I’ve been struggling with this issue on and off for many years now. It seemed as if I knew a lot of people, yet I didn’t feel like I KNEW a lot of them, you know what I mean?
Part of the problem is knowing too many people. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but it definitely contributes to not being able to get close to any one person. Parties, bar scenes and large group gatherings are not the best places to get to know someone, and there is certainly a lot of that in the group of people I socialize with.
I had to start prioritizing how I spent my time with people, and with whom I spent that time with. I made efforts to ask small groups and/or individuals to go for coffee or dinner, situations that are conducive to conversation.
In turn, I believe I’ve formed some good friendships. Not “friends” in the loose way that is thrown around liberally these days (social software definitely contributed to this), but real friends that I feel I can count on and want to be there for as well.
I’ll be moving to central San Francisco in a couple of weeks, and I will have very good access to public transportation as well as the highway. I think I am very inclined to be a public trans kid, although I am a bit anxious about not having wheels of my own anymore.
My office is located about 20 miles away, on the Peninsula, which I have almost always driven to and from. My new location will give me better options for public trans.
I am also very keen on joining ZipCar, which will give me access to a car if I need it, and it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than owning a car. With gas prices so high, insurance, maintenance, etc., it seems to make sense to me to do this.
