take charge of my life

Because I have a job I like. I love where I live. I am controlling my spending. And mentally, I am practicing owning myself instead of letting the actions of others affect me. While I am no champ at this, just thinking about has helped channeling my energy towards where I want to be.

I just re-ordered my 43T list, to have the feasible-in-near-future highest.

In the last week I have been re-organizing my home, so I can be more efficient in every day tasks.

For instance I got a free-standing clothes rack and some nice hangers for my work clothes and shoes. These items now hang out in the corner of my bedroom, easy to access every day. This also meant more room in my way too small closet, making week-end stuff easy to get out and put back in.

On a bigger note, I am going to quit a job for the first time tomorrow. The job could have lead to bigger things, but not in my big picture, and life is too short to play it safe (but unhappy) all the time.

Just finished my first car payment, as well as forwarding my insurance information. Have added the car-payment to my calendar.

It’s simple stuff, but I need to be on top of these little things so I can use my energy better.

I need to start utilizing 43T better. Lately I have been slacking, but I also feel like I have a lot of far out in the future goals. I need to add some goals of things I need to take care off this year to keep moving in the direction I want to be in.

In the past 3-4 weeks I have switched from wine to light beer. Why is that a big deal? Just because wine is a slippery slope; the bottle is open, so I’ll just have another glas after dinner. I’m pretty lightweight, so I get pretty unproductive after 2 glasses of wine, even if it is 2 buck chuck :)
Now I have one beer with dinner, and not on all nights and hence I get more stuff done after dinner. I have a feeling now that I will be back to working (tomorrow) I will wanting just water for dinner.

Eliminate Debt.

When I can do that, then I’ll move on to step two.

I have for the longest time been the President of the “Ah, you know, I’ll end up where I am supposed to anyway, so I am not too worried.” club. Am I worried? No. Bored? Not really. Motivated to do great things? Absofuckinglutely.
So I have resigned my seat at above mentioned club. I have actually quit my membership all together.

What I have done this week:

Taken a huge step in learning CSS. Am creating proto website for female pro longboarder, and the better I do, the more work I will likely get from the other female pro longboarders. Very rock n roll. Making sharp drop downs. Never again will a table make it’s way into a layout of mine.

Decided only to apply for jobs in Healtcare Management sector. This is where I want to work. Preferably in consulting. So this is my sole job hunting focus rather than ‘anything Business.’

Got a surfboard after doubting I would ever get over my fears and commit to the sport. And used it.

Decided my focus will be on my career. It would be so fab to be in love, and be married, and have a dog. But I still don’t believe you can force that shit, so there…(am saving myself for the Healtcare sector job where I will meet Dr. Super Handsome, mwahahah).

She’s hot.
Who is she?

Compared to how I used to be (very passive that is) I promoted to General within 6 months.
A really unfortunate event forced me to go out every day for the last month and actually change my life gradually.
I can handle everything and anyone. Gosh, I am sooo proud.

I went to uni today on my quest for my $5000. I am getting over being anxious all the time. I’m not that good with authority figures. Especially if I have to request money from them. LOL.
Pleased with myself. Yes.
