Change my life in 2007

I’ve been so neglectful on 43! It’s already 2008 and I haven’t updated this goal yet!

Soooooo…..

1. I want to live with J

Check! Currently living in blissful co-habitation!

2. I want to decide whether to stay in childcare or have a change.

Check! I’ve decided to go back to childcare – it IS still my passion. :-)

3. I want to sort out my health problems

Semi check… it’s in progress! Still sorting out the thyroid, but I’ve kicked the adrenal fatigue finally!

4. I want to lose some weight so I look as sexy as I feel

Errr… nope – haven’t lost any weight… I may have re-distributed a little, but haven’t lost any. Working on it emotionally first.

5. I want to save some money towards an overseas trip

Saved a little – still paying off debts etc as stated in the last post. Been spending a bit freely too! (But I don’t have a credit card or anything, so I haven’t increased my debt!)

6. I want to have fun

CHECK! My life rocks!! :-)

If I compare last year and this year together my personalty is sooooooooooooooo different! I am changing for the better…it maybe soooo but at least I am moving!

The change for the better I mean!
Lately I been so greatful, relaxed, everything is getting better! Even the weather…yea! I love suuuuummmmmer!
I hope everything keeps going great for me….at least be happy as long can be! :D

1. I want to live with J

If I can get off my behind and start packing – I’ll be moving by the 25th of April!

2. I want to decide whether to stay in childcare or have a change.

As some of you may have read – I have a new career!! Yay! Maybe I’ll discover that I miss childcare and that it really IS for me… and maybe NOT!

3. I want to sort out my health problems

Been a bit better lately, the thyroid hormones. iron and B12 must be helping!

4. I want to lose some weight so I look as sexy as I feel

I don’t “do” scales – but I’m feeling good in this department too!

5. I want to save some money towards an overseas trip

Still saving regularly – Jeff and I have talked about it and we’ve decided that we both want to get our debts paid (car loan HECS ets) and then we will save for a trip to Europe before we buy a house.

6. I want to have fun

I’m always having fun! My life is exactly what I want at this point in time!

_{I’ve taken out the writing one – it’s not a priority anymore}

1. I want to live with J

It’s all official now – my lease expires on April 25th so I’ll be living at Jeff’s by then. Yay!! :-D

2. I want to decide whether to stay in childcare or have a change.

Six weeks ago I said I’d decided to stay where I am – but I’ve since changed my mind. I realised that the main reason I’m staying (apart from habit and fear of change!) is loyalty to my boss. But I know she would understand… actually, I know she DOES understand because I’ve talked to her before. I just know how difficult it is hire new staff. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to think of myself and put MY needs first for once… so I’m now officially ‘looking for another career’! (Keep your eye out for the new goal!! Hahaha!!)

3. I want to sort out my health problems

Slowly happening. Very slowly! If you’ve read some other entries you’ll know that by having all these tests to sort out what I need to do I’ve found more problems! Oh well – I’ll get there!

4. I want to lose some weight so I look as sexy as I feel

People say I’ve lost a bit, but I cant tell yet! Still feeling sexy though!

5. I want to save some money towards an overseas trip

Regularly saving money from each pay now due to my fabulous budget!

6. I want to have fun

I am so deliriously happy and content right now it’s almost sickening!! My life is amazing! (Apart from the whole health thing, but that’s fixable)

7. I want to get back into my writing

Hmmm… do I REALLY want this?? I’m wondering whether I just put this here because writing USED to be important to me. I don’t know that it really IS anymore though. I enjoy it I guess, but I don’t NEED to write like I used to. I think I’m going to ditch this one.

My problem; I’m an indescisive bastard.

What I want from life is something big. I want a career, not a job.
Now that sounds easy; Get the qualifications; Get the job.

BUT. I have no idea what the hell I want to do with my life. And I know there’s about a billion other people that feel the same.
But I need to think of something.
At 16, I thought I just hadn’t figured it out yet. At 17, I got impatient with myself. At 18, I almost gave up. And now, in just over a month, I’ll be 19. All I want is a little direction. And those job centers are shite. All they offered were jobs, not careers. Jobs that offered money, not happiness.

Here it comes – ARGH.

Damn it. I think I’ll just have to do what I’m best at. Pick 5 random careers. And pull one out of a hat. Then follow that with all my heart.
That sound like a good plan?
Well, it beats sitting here.

1. I want to live with J

Right – we’re back to the end of April… maybe! I dont know..! Kind of depends on if J can get out of his lease (if one of his housemates will put their name on the lease instead of his)

2. I want to decide whether to stay in childcare or have a change.

I have decided to stay where I am for now – after 3 months off I’m feeling much less stressed and we’ve just had a significant pay rise which means I now earn as much as an 18 year old check out operator… so it’s not all bad!!

3. I want to sort out my health problems

Have another doctor’s appointment next Monday afternoon. Been taking my thyroid hormones everyday, and my B12. Still not really on top of the sugar intake – so I assume my insulin is probably still way over the norm… I’ll get there! And my girlie appointment is set for February 16th!

4. I want to lose some weight so I look as sexy as I feel

I don’t do the scales thing – numbers just end up doing your head in! But my clothes are fitting a little better and I bought two new tops with some of my birthday cash that actually make me feel kinda sexy! (J was very patient sitting in the ‘visitor’ part of the change room commenting on each change!)
I also have my exercise bike goal, and J ‘bought’ me a term of bellydance for my birthday (as well as the flowers, teddy bear and a $50 voucher to buy something pretty!) so that will help me lose weight AND feel sexy!

5. I want to save some money towards an overseas trip

I’ve set up my budget, and as of now, I’m saving about $100 a month. Maybe not a huge amount, but way more than I am now!

6. I want to have fun

I have heaps of fun! Maybe not heaps during the work week… but lots on the weekend!! Had my friend’s re-30th last weekend… last year her 30th party was on a 43 degree C day and we all kind of melted… so she decided to have a re-do and have another 30th!! This year, with this crazy weather, it was about 24 degrees C, windy and raining... in Australia… in January! What is going on in the world??? (Both parties were fun though, I thought!!)

7. I want to get back into my writing

Hmm… not happening at all! Not sure why – I haven’t felt like writing. I guess I usually write romance/ erotica… perhaps I have too much of both in life at the moment – instead of writing about it, I’m doing it… HAHAHAHA!!!

1. Been postponed til September

2. Have decided to stay in childcare for now, will revisit again in 6 months time (July)

3. Have another blood test booked, Doc appointment is on January 29th and I’m calling to make an appointment with a ‘girl bits doctor’ tomorrow.

4. Well, not yet, but once I’ve worked on my health, hopefully the weight will disappear too and I’ll feel like I look sexier. (Have to cut out the sugar, gluten and excercise more… so this will work)

5. My main focus is saving at the moment. I have ordered a booklet outlining a budget, and I’m sitting down to work out a plan tomorrow.

6. Having heaps of fun!

7. Haven’t done any writing still…
