all I need is eye candy

A new year, and what proposition do I have for myself? Those of you who have been keeping up with me for the last year know that I make no resolutions in January, because I don't restrict self improvement to one point in time. Instead I propose new things that I ought to try which would enhance my life.

... I suppose the most functional thing I can propose for myself is that I would be more creative. Piano lessons, or at least picking up my embroidery or crochet again. Perhaps actually writing more.

Oh, and I have a Sams Club membership now: is that evil of me? Supporting the system? Whatever: I bought a huge bottle of Sapphire gin for $30.

I'm back in Bloomington now, and am glad to call this place home. Except for that it's freezing cold and I left my down coat at my sister's house.

I've been doing a lot of drinking.

I've also been doing a lot of thinking.

I care less and less what people think or expect these days, because I know I'm doing well.

Mama moved to Florida while I was home.

Dad got married while I was home.

My sister will move in a few months, and then Atlanta won't be home for me ever again. I mean, my family won't be there. Nathanael is moving to south Georgia with some cousins of ours, too. Change is good, right?

Tylere spent the better portion of our break with me. My family loves him. He's a darling friend, but none of you have reason to think anything more of us. Such a drastic change for me from a year ago.

I love charting my own progress (and that there is progress to chart).

In conclusion, I'm pleased with what I've made of my life and in 2004 I hope to continue.

the first thing I should deal with, though, is my increasing difficulty with getting out of bed in the morning... it's either the season or lacking health... but it can't be latent depression... can it?
