I need to remember to do these things this month:
- file last year’s papers and clean out old papers in filing cabinet
- return some correspondence to my siblings
- jury duty
- compile a list of names for work

- get in shape – amazing how there is always room for improvement on this goal. already met and improved upon my pre-pregnancy stats, so I should probably remove this goal before I get too neurotic about it.
- think about buying a house – to buy or not to buy. in an economy like this. with savings like that. also see my goal about moving to a different city this year. and getting a PhD.
- practice mindful consumption – a string of christmas lights costs $1. old string has a burnt out bulb. replace the bulb by painstakingly checking every bulb on the string or replace the string? bulb, silly!.
- maintain and improve my employability – as of december I am employed again, part time, until March. course went well. see also goal about PhD.
- read 30 books in 2009 – halfway through book 1 – Revolutionary Road.
- read all of Kurt Vonnegut’s novels – hopefully I’ll make more progress this year than last year.
- learn more about homeschooling – still learning. this may hinge on whether I move or seek another degree or not.
- make a family tree and sketch portraits of each of my family members – perhaps I need to set a concrete date for doing these two goals.
- catalog all the books I own – still cataloging. I also have an ebook organizer that needs attention.
- get my surgery over with. maybe after I move and there’s a surgeon nearby.
- Think about getting a PhD. leaning towards fisheries oceanography. timing is everything though, especially with a child in tow. also depends on where I move to.
- move to a different city in 2009. must relocate. for a variety of reasons, among them my sanity and the impending Russian invasion (!).
other (even more mundane!) goals:
- start consistently drinking more water again…sort of fell off the wagon on that goal… again.
- save money. also going to revive this old goal. though gosh of all the evil things to want to save…
- keep a closer eye on my diet for medical reasons…eliminating excess salt, sugar, caffeine, processed foods and whatnot. really did poorly on this over the holidays and now I’m paying for it.
- get my daughter on a better sleep schedule and nighttime routine. I’ve got a couple of books on order that will hopefully help me address this. I’m hoping to have progress to report by mid-February.
- develop a healthy meal plan with variety for my daughter. I received some books for christmas to read on this.
- do the dishes every day. I am so tired of fighting this never ending battle, but putting it off never helps.
