retroactive resolutions

[sasha_feather]

I'm sort of anti-resolution. tim had this post a while back about doing retroactive resolutions: the things I've succeeded at in the past year.

Starting in late summer or so, I tried to take better care of my teeth, after I got a tooth infection. And I've been successful at keeping that up!

I decided to sit at the table to eat meals, instead of in front of the TV or computer. To faciliate this, I bought a crossword puzzle book which I leave on the table, and I work on it while I eat.

I quit things that I wasn't enjoying or that I felt it was time to move on from: WisCon ConCom, swimming class, and therapy.

I made it to most of the comics club meetings.

I made at least 3 new friends: R. from the dog park, vetenskapp, and la_dissonance.

This is cool!

Quitting things can be hard, especially if you have a feeling you *should* be enjoying or getting something out of and it's just not working, and I can imagine it being that way with the things you list.

Yes, exactly! It felt much more like I *should* be doing these things rather than me wanting to.

And that's not all!

You began the frustrating process of applying for disability, which is HARD.

That is true! It's so hard. <3
