User blog:Taldin/Much To Do About No Things

One of the things I think I did wrong last year on the last expedition, so to speak, was to just concentrate on surviving the week. And I'm obligated to do a status report at work, so perhaps to up the challenge this year, it's time to actually put together some quests to make stuff happen.

So. Year two is going to be about being more creative, more assertive, and more outgoing. Since the housemate is actually mostly better, the latter is going to be about finally getting out and doing more exploring -- at least in theory.

On to year two!

Week One
Sometimes you have to commit to things without counting the cost, and be willing to step outside the boundaries other people put on you. In the past week, I've been willing to leave work on time (more or less), succeeded in spending more time with friends I'd not spent alot of with lately, and left the house to run errands early rather than wait for the housemate to wake up.

Why this is an accomplishment: I'd let my social life suffer for being a caretaker. It's very easy to say 'someone needs me,  I can't go somewhere I want to go,'  and let it become a habit.

I also bought plane tickets for a friend's wedding. Three months ago, I didn't think I could get away. And even though it's only an overnight trip, it's still proving that I can.
