This is it, the midpoint of the year. Just as much ahead of us as behind us. It's a good day to reflect on what's been accomplished. I made a list of 17 things I wanted to accomplish this year. So far, I've done five. One isn't worth accomplishing. One is impossible for this year, which I didn't know at the beginning of the year. Well, let's just look at them.
1) Rewrite my novel. I lost almost a whole novel I had written when my last computer crashed on me. I'm not even sure I still have the outline anywhere. I haven't summoned up the will to rewrite the whole thing from scratch yet.
2) Get a new job. This will be done sometime this month. Either the 10th or, as I am not expecting, the 31st. So, that will be nice to check off.
3) Get a new place to live. Not possible from what I've learned. If I want to be out from under this crazy credit card debt, I need to settle with them. In order to do that, I will have to stay with my parents so I can afford the payments.
4) Get a car. Did this yesterday. Kind of. My parents paid for it. I won't feel good until I've paid them off.
5) Rework the diet dice- I had this marked as completed. I have definitely not completed it. This was a weight loss scheme (the last one that worked for me). I have yet to replicate it.
6) Kurt Russell Marathon? Seemed like a good idea at the time, now I don't care.
7) How to Host a murder- Harkens back to game nights past. My regular gaming group is split to the winds now. Not sure when or how to do this.
8) Get a CPAP machine. I have one. It works well but I can't use it at the moment due to my facial breakout.
9) Watch my 31 horror movies for October. I plan to do this.
10) Keep up with my daily horror blog. I am doing this.
11) One Last Birthday Marathon. I plan to do one in a few weeks, somehow.
12) Continue Random Christmas- I am doing this so far.
13) Work on a comic. Jay is kind of making this come true by going back and working on our old script. Once again, he did a lot of work and then lost steam. Not sure if it will get done.
14) Direct a short. I have one in mind, I just need to do it.
15) Go on a vacation. Yeah, we'll see. I doubt this one.
16) Finish my board game. This is tied into my lack of a gaming group. I have it all together. We'll see if the spirit moves me.
17) Get alive again. My credit report was showing me as dead. I somehow fixed it.
So, some still to come. Others are impossible and others rely on me getting motivated. If this new job would goddamn start, I would feel much better.
