My goodness. I love you all.
My overall goal for 2022 is to ask for help. I have a lot of shame that I tell myself isn’t shame, but it is. I lie to myself about being “independent” and I’d like to let go of that, because it isn’t useful to me. Maybe I’ll find some new bits of identity.
Also list:
-
Stay in my PhD course, pass candidature
-
Explore my university until I feel comfortable finding everywhere
-
Clear all my email inboxes
-
Get back to Tai Chi
-
Find another way of moving my body that I enjoy regularly
-
Learn some guitar songs by heart
-
Watch some TV and play games and try restaurants with Ponder
-
Weekly online games with my siblings
-
spend time with the kids on mini adventures
-
Get my compost system running and tweak until we can keep using it when sick or well
-
Try cloth nappies on Pumpkin
-
more perennials in garden
-
Grow leafy greens March - November
-
Chop up and play with my irrigation. Make mistakes with it!
Making mistakes ON PURPOSE is part of sorting out the feelings and learning to ask for help in a useful way and such.

I mean you just have to achieve overall lower levels of dickheadedness by the end of 2022. No need to rush these things.

These are the things we should do but know we actually won’t right?
-not buy so much shit
-exercise regularly
-prioritize my own health for a change, physical and mental
-finish those things on my to-do list that have been on there for years now
-not run away screaming from spreadsheets
might actually do?
-finish grad school
-get a new job in new field
-project manage a bunch of renovations
-stay married
What I really actually want to do instead of most of the stuff on these lists is try new cocktails and leave the country. And I suppose come back to it. But international travel, man. I wants it.

I saw this thread before I saw what inspired it, and saved this picture to post here completely independently.

But you said you’re going to be less of a dickhead, so I thought we were shooting for the stars.

Oh only in certain domains of dickheadness. A very narrow subset of being less of a wanker is my aim.

I support you in your goals, however lofty they may be.

Here are mine, keeping the bar low.
- Stop following any SF bay area specific news or California news, because it just makes me mad. Aaron Peskin who? Blocking housing? I wouldn’t know a thing, sorry to this man.
- Stop filling out the forms they send you in advance of doctor’s appointments, because they just have you fill out the same form once you get there and it annoys me more than it should. I did it once this week successfully. This doesn’t apply to COVID screening forms, obviously.
- Keep doing my little house and yard projects.
- Make a shared budget for my household and make a plan to stick to it.
- Meet more gay people.

I’m not much for NY resolutions. But after Snackuary 2021 I fell off the OMD challenge train and I miss that short-term structure in my life. So my resolution is to do all of 2022’s monthly challenges.
Stretch goal, maybe join one of the yearlong challenges.

Successfully move to New Orleans, on time and on budget.
I think that’s enough of a goal for now!
ETA: also, as I resolve every year, more physical activity. I am hopeful that being somewhere where it doesn’t get very cold will help with this, as I greatly prefer outdoor exercise but my lungs do not like exertion in cold air.

- Go to bed early (this was a failed goal last year, but this year Marmalade is the one who has this goal, which should help both of us)
- Continue to go to CrossFit 3 times a week
- Do my PT exercises 2-3 times a week
- Practice piano!

I don’t know if mine are resolutions or goals (is there a difference?) Anywho:
- cook two new recipes a month. (more would be great, but I’m trying to aim low)
- brush/floss teeth 2x day
- find a new therapist that I can afford and that I like and who takes my insurance
- paint all of the rooms in my new house
- get A’s in all of my classes
- find a Dr here in AZ that I like who can help me get a shot for my back/nerve pain
- figure out a way to do core exercises again without causing new/weird pains
- volunteer 200 hours at women’s shelter, and 200 hours at free clinic
- make 1 new friend in AZ (hopefully a hiking buddy!)
- finish the piano piece I am learning now, and start learning 2 new pieces
- make enough side income from dog sitting/selling things to cover my tuition for the year
- cold call Drs and find someone who will let me shadow them (this is probably the one I am most likely to fail at)
- pedal a bike again (even for 5 minutes)
