Sunny, great goals! No I'm going to encourage you with nagging questions
1.) What kind of exercise do you enjoy? And when is the soonest you can begin? Today?
2.) What's the first thing you want to accomplish around the house? When will you start? (Flooring is a great accomplishment, btw! Even if you're just hiring someone to do it. I went through the same thing with our house last fall, and getting all of the quotes, learning about the different material options, etc. was definitely a hassle).
3.) Sorry if I missed it somewhere in your time here, but what is your work background? Are you looking at returning to the same type of work, or are you open-ended and/or have a different field in mind?
Card, I appreciate the questions. It lets me know you are reading and helps hold me accountable. I think that's a really important part of the goal process.
1. I like to lift weights, not the kind coated in pink plastic, either. I like to sprint occasionally, walk often. I started back in the weight room as soon as I was cleared to a few weeks ago. I using one of the New Rules programs, Cosgrove is my default when I need a reset. It feels great to have my hands back on a bar.
2. My house goal at the moment is to recover from the floor installation. There's some painting and new furniture involved in that, too, so the whole thing could take several more weeks.
Today I've been working on my closet, rearranging things a little. I'm happy with it. And I also cleaned out H's side of the closet, he still has some stuff over there and I'm OK with that but I've rearranged it, too, to compact it and give more empty space. I have made the conscious decision not to expand into any territory that was previously his, closet, sink/vanity, night stand, dresser. I am deliberately leaving space in my life for a partner, whether that's H or someone else. The emptiness is symbolic for me.
3. My education is accounting, I'm actually a CPA. But for the last 10 years I did a lot of non-financial stuff, everything from building management, to space allocation, event planning, membership and volunteer recruitment, office management, advertising, and communications to name a few. I think I'd like something where a financial background is an asset but not necessarily the whole job. I'd like to target some of the larger employers in the city as opposed to a small company.
Hey, Bob! I'm going to have to pop over to your thread to see if you explained your GAL. I hope it was fun!
I have dinner plans with a meet-up group later tonight. I was going to go mountain biking tomorrow but cancelled because I really want to continue reassembling Casa Sunny.
