Watchlords

Have any of you made any New Year's Resolutions? I've made a few:

1. Drink less. Much, much less.

2. Argue with Sarah less.

3. Lose at least 7 kg (on top of the 3 kg I've lost so far).

4. Lose my gut.

5. Get some muscles back.

6. Get divorced.

7. Procrastinate less and be more organised.

Not gonna be easy. Went for a run on the treadmill this afternoon after an extended festive season break and it wasn't good. Not as bad as I expected but not good. But you've gotta start somewhere.

I resolve to be less of an asshole, and to engender and embrace happiosity. I know, I know, I've tried this before, but what the fuck; maybe this time it'll stick!

Lose some weight.

Finish replacing the termite-eaten wood in the garage. I'm on the last wall now so this should be an easy one. I might actually be able to park my car inside the garage for once since we bought the house.

Be able to burn my covid masks.

Ride my bicycle more often.

Ride the Vespa to work more often.

Buy that Longines or Sinn that keeps calling my name.

.....

Eye am knott dun drink'n or Gidding Madd at everyjuan. Eye about taikingup smok'n

Forgot I resolved to procrastinate less and be more organised. We bought two cars recently and they've been parked outside in the heat because the garage was so full of stuff there was just a small space in the middle for one car. I spent all day and night NYE clearing things out and installing shelves to create some space in there as I wanted to start 2022 with the cars parked inside. They're both in there now, I also installed a work bench, and there's still heaps of space. Very satisfying.

Nice work, Jason_recliner!

Well done! Cars belong in garages.

Yes they do.

Although soon we'll have 3 sitting outside (just like they were when I bought them).

We only have a two-car garage, so I rent space from a friend (about 10 minutes away) for my two Z cars. I try to drive both at least every two weeks.

None. Too old for resolutions I would not keep anyway.

.

To stay true to myself and ....



-laugh at those that should be laughed at

-confront those that should be confronted

-embrace those that deserve to be embraced

-ignore those that try to push their wokeness

-uplift those that deserve uplifted

&

don't let anyone try to change whom the fuck I am.



Same resolution I've maintained for decades......

How'd everybody go?

I didn't get close to my weight loss goal. At least I managed to maintain my weight. I'd hoped to get back to running 10km and finally did it 29/12.

Overall, not good but could have been worse.

Perfectly for me----- easy to do when it is who I am.

FTR-my underlined resolution above trumps all my others.

I have fulfilled my goal of making zero resolutions.

Current policy “to make adjustments as needed when determined appropriate and sufficiently motivated by emotional will”, remains.

Really, I should smoke less weed, get back to working out, lose some weight, and ease off the junk food. But I don’t feel like it, damn it. The last two are related and somewhat easy to address concurrent with the first item…. But that will happen… sometime later. You know, when I feel like it.

Which, right now, I do not.
