New Year’s Resolution, Week 4
This week: Me 2, Fear 0, but 1 point shifted from Me to Fear from previous weeks
Current Score: Me 7, Fear 3
The good:
I started talking to another new person, though, who I’d been putting off actually engaging for a while just because it never seemed like the right time. That’s been kinda cool.
I also went into a social situation that I was a bit apprehensive about, because of a pretty long history of weirdness surrounding it. As a rule, I tend to avoid those, but I didn’t here, and I had a good time. We’ll see where that goes.
The bad:
I backslid a bunch on the “dealing with bureaucracy” shit, but not on anything super time-sensitive. Still, I hate seeing that cluster of annoying phone calls and form fill-outs move from day to day on my to-do list. We’ll dock me on this one, and hope for the best come Monday.
Aside from that, it was an extremely slow week. Everything else I’ve discussed is in something of a holding pattern, waiting on funding and/or better conditions. Coffee plans from Week One may finally be happening tonight, though (and it’s really cold out, too; I’m seriously thinking that humans should be allowed to hibernate during the winter).
That’s about a month’s worth of my resolution. Usually, by this point in the year, people forget about them. So, not too bad.
Oh, one more thing: I keep thinking about contacting someone I don’t actually know, who may know a thing or two about my family’s somewhat checkered past. Could be a dead end, could be me opening up a big can of worms. I’m starting to think that, either way, it may be worth doing, just so it’s not one of those things that nags at me. Stay tuned.
