No Resolutions, Just Continuing Good Habits

New Year's Eve:

1) Cleaned my bathroom "company clean".
2) Removed shower gunk from my shower curtain.
3) Had one of my all time favorite dinners and cleaned the pan afterwards.
4) Ran the dishwasher... finally.
5) Watched Two and Half Men.
6) Read.
7) Went to bed before 12am and read some more.
8) Three cats sleeping and some untold time later, the phone rings in the dead of night.
9) Friend calling to wish me Happy New Year.
10) Back to bed to not quality sleep for rest of night.

New Year's Day:

1) Woke up, showered, dressed.
2) Went to lunch with friend, exchanged gifts, browseshopped.
3) Came home, took tree down, put ornaments away.
4) Started laundry, dryer not happy so either it needs fixin' or I need a new one.
5) Dinner at Mom and Dad's for the most fabulous tasting ham EVER and best cake+ice cream EVER!
6) Played with dog in below 0* weather.
7) Went home and put up icicle lights my father had gotten me years ago to see if I got the same effect my mother does. I have to say no.
8) Read.
9) Went to bed to read some more.
10) No quality sleep again but the cats were zonked right out.

Post New Year's Day:

1) Woke up at 5am and actually got out of bed at 5:30am to shower and dress.
2) Got to work at 7am, 7am is unheard of for me.
3) Early co-worker humorously refused to acknowledge my presence until 8am.
4) Was industrious and efficient (except for mechanical/computer/printer snafus) up til lunch.
5) Had a laughing lunch with co-workers.
6) Ran out of steam but found something to do.
7) Left work early (coz I got there early) to go home to nap.
8) Nap unsuccessful but resting was nice.
9) Ate dinner, M called to say all set to go out.
10) Picked her up, went out but not buckwild, had someone offer to pay for my drink and insist that they do so (so free drink to start the year off right!), learned how to play arcade bowling with a trackball (what a treat that was - I'm officially in 104th place!), messed with some minds with the psychic quarter game, and generally had a fun evening.

Good habits to continue: watching portions and calories, putting clothes away right away, cleaning up after self in kitchen, scooping poop every morning, shoveling and mowing the old fashioned way.
New habits to start working on: running the dishwasher more often, cutting cat claws more often, keeping clutter to a minimum or at least manageable, clean the shower curtain gunk more often, add more veggies, walking more.
