I found a list of things I wanted to accomplish between Jan-June.... It feels good to be on a path! H drags his feet and stonewalls when it comes to making plans in our personal life. It was his way of controlling me, without a plan I have to wait on him. It feels good to be able to put a plan in place - I know plans may change, but it is a start to moving down the road of life.

Btw on my 6 mos list -
- lose weight (down 15lbs..... Another 30 to go then I want to train for another half-marathon). I put on 25lbs since H began MLC crisis in 2012. The constant rejection really took a toll on me.

- take a holiday (leaving on 24th with eldest D)! So excited to be going, havent gone on a holiday in 5 years.

- start taking steps to get a job (signed up for a course)

- support H thru job search (I'm being polite, but realise this one isn't really important anymore as this is HIS journey)

- get the child sports schedule sorted as logistics, accommodations, qualifiers, training all take time to organise.
