Monthly Goals: January
I am stealing an idea from thebonesofferalletters and bookblather, and going to try doing this this year. Maybe it'll work a bit better than a longer and less time-specific list. Still going to try and take it easy on myself, but here goes?
January Goals
1. Talk to my mother about moving and continue taking steps towards moving afterwards.
2. Start a savings account; put away at least $100 between all three checks for the month.
3. Write something. Even if it's a 200-word ficlet, write and preferably finish something. (Finish is suspendable if I start something long/continue something long.)
4. Transpose at least 3 of the characters in my brain to new verses like I've been thinking of. It doesn't need to be super-indepth and I don't need to write anything for it, but at least start.
5. Write a review for one thing that's seen/read/whatever this month. Twelfth Night, Into the Woods, or HoO, probably.
6. Start figuring out stress relief and/or self-care things that can be done. This will probably be an ongoing project, but... start.
7. Get your goddamn ears pierced. You know you want it. You have the money. You'll be near places to do it. Stop being silly about it and do it, because you'll be happy you did. (Bast, you want to clop over to the mall with me next time I'm there?)
8. Finish gathering phone numbers I had previously/collecting them from people. (If you're in the US and want to give me your number, feel free to take this as a cue.)
9. Set up new Kindle.
10. Go through files on my parent's hard drive, collect old music I want back and figure out how to set up mp3 players with it.
At the end of the month, I'll go through the list, see how it worked out, and make new ones/carry over ones for February.
Tonight before work I'm gonna try and do the first two fannish snowflake challenges. For now, Community. and then sleep. so much sleep.

Errorrrr, yay. now i just need to find my ball. i think i know where it is, but... mrrh. (i may buy a tangle toy or two with my next paycheck. i'm trying to consider stress relievers and stuff a useful investment and not a thing i'm wasting my money on.)
maaaaaybe? i'm not sure. i can poke at it next time i'm there and deicde. i do like bits of it, i like bits it less, but i really like the smooth part and the visual is weirdly soothing and... yes. maybe.

YOU FIC
I BELIEVE IN YOU
AND YOUR FIC
I also believe plain old alcohol is better for fresh ear piercings than anything they may try to sell you at the place you have it done.
(I say that as someone whose holes were infected to some degree for over a year until I switched to rubbing alcohol. That was a long, long time ago and because of it, I now have holes of steel. But, at the time? Not fun.)

Also, <33333333 and thank you

And hurray! Less suffering. Oh /man/ that stuff they sell otherwise is not made of happiness.
