spend less time on the internet
time waster 2 days ago

I’d been thinking about adding a goal like this and then I saw it on Elsey’s list. Yep, its my biggest time-waster as well.

My apartment was in disarray for a few days last week because my landlord needed to have some work done, so I just left my computer disconnected. I felt strangely free, and felt like I had a lot of evening time.

I do like being online for chatting with my boyfriend, but its also nice to have dedicated phone conversations. If I do chat and multi-task, the other task can be something other than surfing around mindlessly.

pumpkin carving 6 days ago

Its not really a new experience, since we did this every year when I was a kid, but it’s been a really long time. I think the last time I carved a jack-o-lantern was in high school.

One of my work pals grew up in Thailand, so she’d never carved a pumpkin before and wanted to try it. Four of use stayed late on Friday for a pumpkin carving session. I wish I’d gotten a picture of mine before the squirrels took a few bites out of his nose and toothy grin though.

sewer problems 1 week ago

I made a tiny bit of progress on this goal this weekend, but I lost momentum pretty quick. Then today, I got a call from my landlord, and apparently the sewers in my apartment need to be replaced. The plummer is coming tomorrow and I have to get everything out of my bedroom by then.

While this is a big pain in the butt, the upside is that its forcing my to touch everything in my bedroom. I’ve cleared out a few cobwebs, dusted off a few things, and noticed other things I definitely need to just get rid of. So that’s a small silver lining.
