I'm doing 36 things
I’ve read Atlas Shrugged several times and it had a significant effect on how I think the country should be run. I wish Ayn Rand put in more strong female characters (as opposed to just 1) in each of her books and that she didn’t put in 60 pages of straight philosophy in towards the end. But the book is definitely worth reading.

I love my loft! But now it looks like I will be moving this summer for a new job, so I’ll have to sell it or find a reliable friend to rent.
Having weekly personal training is the only way I stuck through this. Swimming classes also helped add variety to working out.
