The year is almost over

[(Anonymous)]

What are your New Year's resolutions?

Re: The year is almost over

[(Anonymous)]

Punch more nazis, tolerate less terfs.

Re: The year is almost over

[(Anonymous)]

Good question. Not sure I really have any specific ones, just "do less of this bad habit" kind of thing. But I've been doing that since the middle of this year, so if there's any resolution, it's just "keep it up."

Re: The year is almost over

[(Anonymous)]

Get out of debt (only 9k left!) and try and actually finish a fic, any fic, instead of just starting new ones all the time.

- Read 12 books
- Crochet 4 objects
- Bake 4 new things
- Play Switch 2 hours a week
- Work on book 2 hours a week

I try to keep realistic goals. Lol.

Write a third book, mostly!

Re: The year is almost over

No big ticket resolution, but I have a list of "23 23s in 2023" - ie. 23 things I want to do 23 times in 2023. It's stuff I either want to do more of (like read books, listen to new (to me) albums, donate to food banks) or want to make sure I keep doing on a regular basis (various exercise things, trying new recipes, writing).

I also have a list of 101 things I want to do (at least once) next year, which ranges from big stuff like renovate the outside of my house to small stuff like have a nice cup of hot chocolate.

Stop spending money on things I don't need. For example, not using Instacart. I don't have a car so it's very convenient but I can go to the store myself with my pushcart. Also taking public transportation instead of Lyft, and not ordering food from Doordash. I'm going to have to do more than that to live within my budget but it's a start.

It's hard though because obviously there may be times I do have to do those things and I'm going to have to still have self-control not to start doing them all the time again.

Re: The year is almost over

Survive. I've been doing really well with this resolution.

Re: The year is almost over

Get more fresh air, write more stuff, and eat more veggies.

Hit an average of 7 miles a day for the year again. I managed it once, and I managed it most days this year, but not enough to hit the average, especially not since I took chunks of time off walking for exercise at all, like when I caught covid.

Also I dunno, I'll be 40 this coming year and I've never managed it, but maybe 2023 is the year I finally get a diagnosis/handle on my executive dysfunction so I can do stuff like clean my fucking house. Of course, that's only if my slug brain is caused by ADHD and not one of the many, many other things it might be, and also that I get a) prescribed meds and b) they actually work.

It's hard because I have a house and a full time job and pay my bills on time, so even though I'm also a slob and hoarder and anxious mess, I'm not seen as bad off enough to need immediate help.

And being told to call back in a month to schedule my first psych appointment three months after that, because everyone needs help and there aren't enough therapists or appointments, is hell with the aforementioned executive dysfunction. I tried for something like nine or ten months to get an appointment after my initial eval, and no dice.

Everything was always full by the time I got through, and they'd say to call back when the next bookings opened in three months. And that was pre-covid, I'm sure the therapist shortage and number of people who need help is worse now.

Also ffs I need to fix my sleep schedule! Staying up until (or waking up at!) 4:00 am is not compatible with my full time job, especially since my new work schedule will have me coming in at 9:00 am every day and not just half the week.

Read all the books I bought that I haven't read yet
Exercise 6 days a week for 35 minutes a day
Eat more vegetarian/vegan meals (I'm at 3 days a week now)
Drink less alcohol

I think a friend that has stopped talking to me over a difference of opinion may be shown the doorway out of my life for good.

Re: The year is almost over

read either a chapter or for 15 min in a day (which ever comes first) off my huge to read pile.

keep a journal (started already but want to expand and keep up)

practise my dance more

try at least one more time to learn knitting

Continue working on dealing with the trauma of surviving the unrest in Minneapolis way back in 2020. This is going to take a long time even with actively working on it.

Weekend Plans!

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

It is my birthday weekend (new year's day) so I am visiting my sister. We are going out to eat tomorrow. And Sunday we are going to make chicken tikka masala and homemade naan with some friends. 😋 In between all that will be video games, boardgames, and movies.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[(Anonymous)]

Movie night with friends tomorrow, as is our NYE tradition, then on NYD we're doing an escape room together. And when I'm not with my friends, I'll be taking full advantage of my time off work and playing plenty of Mass Effect 3.

Re: Weekend Plans!

Happy birthday!

Well, I FINALLY got my damn tags renewed so hopefully I'll give the car the wash if I'm not too tired and then put the sticker on. Got a new video game so I'll be playing that too.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[rosehiptea]

Sounds like fun! I hope you enjoy yourself.

I'm going to do laundry tomorrow and Monday I'm working. Not an exciting weekend but I'm OK with that.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[pantswarrior]

Happy birthday! I kind of envy that, it's so...neat and tidy. XD

This weekend, will probably be playing more FFXIV, trying to figure out what other costumes to bring to MAGFest next weekend than the two I was asked to bring, and ... maybe working on what might be the final chapter of the WIP that's been eating me for almost three months now.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[(Anonymous)]

I hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend! I'm gonna go shopping and look for something cute to wear to ring in the new year.

Happy birthday :)

De-extinction

[(Anonymous)]

If you could bring back to life any extinct species, you get a fully functional population not just a pet, which would you choose?

I'd go for either Dimetrodon or Anisodon, they both look so visually distinctive and there is so much we don't know about either. Although, to be fair, we'd probably find it easier to live alongside a herd of Anisodons than dimetrodons.

What about y'all, FS?

What personal achievements in 2022 are you are most proud of?
