I got several cheers on this goal lately, 1 day ago

and so here I am revisiting this goal. Just a few thoughts here:
Goals are great for putting us on the pathway to our destinations. Sometimes other opportunities arise that have nothing to do with our goals. I think it’s important to recognize the opportunities worth taking, even if they have nothing to do with our goals.



Start using my sick days to work on my goals. (read all 7 entries…)
2 more sick days 1 day ago

Okay, I’ve been a slacker here, so it’s time to check in. In October I took a sick day. Didn’t do anything too exciting, but was able to relax and get some things done. The year is coming to an end, so it was time to use another sick day this past Wednesday. I slept ‘til 9 instead of 6 or 7, and went to a 50% off sale at Macy’s with a $10 off coupon I got in the mail. I got a Calvin Klein coat to replace my old, falling apart Calvin Klein coat. I thought I was getting it for 50% off + $10 off, but to my surprise they took 50% off 50% + $10 off and I got it for $75. I don’t know if it was a mistake, but I was obviously happy. I also got a pair of jeans at Express. Then I went home and had a nice lunch, worked out and painted! Now I have once sick day left this year, and I can mark this goal as done!



get my hair cut regularly (read all 4 entries…)
I've decided how to handle this: 2 months ago

I’m going to get a haircut once per season. I definitely don’t see the need for more than four haircuts a year, and I think it’s a good idea to look good during each season! Plus, it’s an easy reminder for when to get a haircut. Since my last entry I haven’t had a haircut, but my plan is to get one sometime between the beginning of October and before Thanksgiving so I can get it out of the way before the holidays. So that will be my Fall haircut, then I’ll see when it’s time to get it cut again in the Winter. I won’t be strict about when in each season I should get it done, I just need to do it sometime during each season. If I happen to get a lot cut off as I’m known to do on occasion, and I’m not ready for a haircut at all during the next season, this will be acceptable. It might just mean getting it done sooner rather than later in the next season.
