Retro Active Resolutions


I like to think that I am in a state of constant self-improvement. Always analyzing and reinventing my moral code and attitudes. However the truth is that I tend to vacillate between being a hyper-active improvement manic and a down-right lazy TV-watching sloth. Perhaps this has a lot to do with how busy, frustrated and exhausted I can get from working full-time. For now I could just care less about the root cause and would rather work around whatever it is that makes me this way. That is why I have invented the retro-active resolution program. I decide, as I go along, what my resolution for the year will be.


Fortunately work is slow right now and I am undergoing and upswing in energy and motivation. Therefore this year's resolutions will revolve around getting the house fixed up, getting organized and keeping my act more together. So far this year I have removed and sold our backyard batting cage via Craig's List. Sold the "Beermeister" and transformed our old play fort into a swing/deck combo made for two. Some of these changes have a great deal of meaning in terms of new life chapters but we can touch on that later. Right now I have to empty the dishwasher, get the 3rd load into the dryer, the second load into the dishwasher, mop, go to the recycle place, do the food shopping, check on my friends cats and then lunch.
