guarana antarcrica or day 159

it's been a couple weeks, but here's what i got:

#3 was to swim at least twice a month. val and i have been going to water aerobics since march and there is usually some swimming/water walking done post class. starting in a couple weeks, we'll be taking the class twice a week. i want to try to get more post class swimming in on those days. this will mean i'll actually swim 6x/month. yay!

#15 was to start getting the ball rolling on scott's future care. well, i have names of lawyers and am doing research into who might be best. i know i'll have to be in the right place financially to really do this, but i have to start somewhere, right?

#25 was to get new tires and yesterday, after 3 hours in the pep boys waiting room, i got 4 new tires. in the time i waited, i wrote about my feelings, plucked my eyebrows, went to the bathroom 3 times, updated my facebook status twice, renewed my car insurance for the next 6 months and set up automatic payments for said insurance. none of this has anything to do with my 101 things, i just wanted to mention it.

#42 was to create a budget and stick to it. actually, i came up with a budget while i was at pep boys too, come to think of it. this pay period was the first in way too many in which i did not incur an overdraft fee (satisfying at least 1 for goal #78). i planned out everything i have to pay and came up with how much i can spend daily. it's a little tight this 2 week period, but i think i can stick to it. i'll let you know around day 173...

#50 was to look into a rowing class. i did this and it seems cost and/or time prohibitive, but i will keep it on the list as i've wanted to do this for about 14 years.

#51 was to take more advantage of physical therapy. as i mentioned in an earlier post, me and my therapist decided that i have probably done as much good as PT is going to do for me. i had my last session last week, but am armed with exercises to continue doing and an open invitation to come back if i feel i need to.

#91 was to find the recipe for fudge foldovers. i found it and will make them at least by x-mas.

goals for this week or two include doing something with the paper and canvas i bought for decorating, thr thorough cleaning of one room (not sure which yet), and exerbycling.

you win some, you lose some or day 140

did i clean my spare room this weekend? you bet your sweet ass i did. i should've taken before and after pictures to post here. it took from about 4 to 10:30 saturday afternoon and evening, but it's done. no more dried cat puke (ew, i know), you can see my futon, clothes have been hung up, craft stuff has been WEEDED and organized. i moved my craft drawers to the kitchen, since that's where i do my craft stuff anyway.

aug 1 was my projected date to have lost 10 lbs by. well, i weight exactly the same. i know where i've fucked up and the week i was off work, i wasn't really monitoring. plus, i'm pre-menstrually bloated. none the less, i do have to try harder. so, i begin again in earnest. we'll see where i am on oct. 1.

also, i changed #25, the frivilous goal of making careless whisper my bitch to getting new tires. WAY more important.
