Brain Dump 2017.2

Some goals for the year:

  • Successfully have second child (a girl)
  • Pay off at least three major debts (1 down; stretch goal is 5)
  • Actually read some god damn books (way behind on that one)
  • Buy another car (probably a Prius V)
  • Run two half marathons
  • Lose 12 pounds (stretch goal is 20)
Things I've already accomplished:
  • Full health assessment and physical at a regular doctor (not urgent care)
  • Bought a proper bike
  • Painted Wolf's room
  • Hung the mantel over the fireplace (real sweet, recycled chestnut barn timber)
I don't like calling wood "reclaimed" if it came out of an old barn or whatever. It's not like it was ours to begin with, so not re-claimed.

I'm part of the way toward some career success. I'm currently serving a stint as the acting chief of my unit, overseeing the building of a full division out of a ragtag team. So far so good. I'm on the list for potential promotion, just have to not fuck it up. I don't specifically call this a "goal" because I'm not really in control of the outcome and I don't want to hang my sense of success on my career. Still, we call it "career success." Fuck me.

I also finally acquired a Colin Christian piece. It's in the mail right now. Can't wait to get it so I can hang it on the wall and freak everyone out (don't worry, it's not one of the creepy ones).

Also, extremely happy my kid likes the Clash. THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS.
