I keep thinking I've logged these things but that might just be middle of the night ruminations.
Loose goals for 2023
Physical: TBD
Financial: save $36k in 401k (more possible, but at least that)
Emotional: Therapy for a year; focus on self-care (includes things like therapy, and not worrying so much about spending, or "good" decision making, and choosing to outsource things like pest control and housecleaning...)
Accomplishments
It's probably better to do this monthly or quarterly as I only can remember the recent ones.
- House is clean!
- Realizing I can squeeze a few more dollars into 401k with a 50% contribution at the end of the year AND making the change!
- All my trips to Seattle
- Not dying until I was absolutely sure! It was touch and go for more than one part of the year
- Therapy
- My work projects
- Appreciating and taking advantage of my work flexibility
- Work trips
- Not making any enemies at work
- Not hating anyone new
- Joining local meetups
- Softball
- Continuous assessing and realigning of personal and financial priorities
- Working on figuring out what's next
I should craft a mission or objective statement in this family of one. What do I believe? What do we aim to do?
- Investing in my mental well being next year with the increased FSA
- Rearranging my office
- Listing things on Craigslist (eventhough they didn't sell)
- Some of the automated financial systems I have in place that really take some of the guesswork off my plate
That's all for now.
Not feeling particularly insightful. Just feeling kinda grey and moody. My mood feels like the way the sky looks. Overcast. Tomorrow I plan to finish my MoneyGram transfer, take the papers to the shredding location, and maybe get some fruit. I will get some Mexican takeout for lunch. I have been feeling hungry and realized I haven't had a BM since I had some GI distress over a week or so ago.
My spending has finally settled down. Boy this grey day is bringing me down. I'm glad I got rid of all the credit cards. I'm loosely hoping to spend no more than $500 in Maryland. That includes train tickets. I'm taking my emergency credit card. Not that this is an emergency, but I've already swept the extra cash from most of my accounts so there's no extra money sitting around. It'll be easier to just use the card since there's only a $500 limit on it and just pay it off when I get home. There's a few dollars that will be replenished on my allowance card for December so there's a chance I might go over the $500, but all will not be lost.
I just know I better put the train ticket on the credit card since $120 would probably wipe out my allowance card until the 15th. It'll just be a backup while I'm in Maryland and in between fill-ups on my allowance.
I'm kind of glad I decided to stay in today. I'm feeling so groggy, I undocked my laptop and brought it to the futon so I can recline a little. This futon is really uncomfortable, I really don't think I need to keep it. I will try to resell it, but may end up giving it away for free.
