Goals: For my 40's
Oh lord. There is so much I want to do.
I will try to organize these as best I can, but many of them fall into multiple sections.
TRAVEL/FUNSIES-
⬥ See The Killers in concert
⬥ See Red Hot Chili Peppers in concert
⬥ Go camping in the U.P.
⬥ Vacation in Southern California to visit my aunts & do all the touristy stuff.
⬥ Visit San Jose area
⬥ Go on a girl's trip with some blogger friends. I don't really care where to.
⬥ Have an old-fashioned road trip out west with the husband.
⬥ See Jim Gaffigan live again.
BODY STUFF-
⬥ Get my carpal tunnel syndrome repaired.
⬥ Get my posture repaired/fixed/improved.
⬥ Get my tattoo work done. (It's not looking like this will be the year.)
⬥ Jog a mile. Okay, this is a bit less important for me. It's a sort-of guideline for the work to improve my pulmonary & cardiovascular health.
⬥ Figure out the answer to my thinning hair & resolve. Even if requires transplant surgery down the road.
⬥ Get a breast reduction. This one is iffy and definitely a few years out. Because I am actively working to lose weight, it's important to get to a stable, healthy weight and maintain it for a period of time before assessing whether reduction is still a good option.
⬥ Lower my size to somewhere like 10/12 ish. I don't have a specific goal weight in mind, although the numbers are there in my head sort of loosey-goosey, I also know that realistically, I do not have the frame to be a size 6. But back when I was size 10/12 ish, I felt pretty decent for the most part. I care more about being healthy and feeling good than about specific numbers.
⬥ Get a hearing aid. If you want to be absolutely technical, I could get one for each ear. But I'd be down with at least just getting one for my right ear.
MISC.-
⬥ Learn to swim. I'd like to find and take an adult introductory swimming class.
⬥ Learn Spanish. I don't expect to be fluent, but I'd like to have more conversational skills.
⬥ Build a nest egg. For many reasons, some our own fault and some beyond our control, (my health playing a major factor), the husband and I continue to live hand-to-mouth. And I'm so over it.
⬥ Get THE JOB. If you read my Spring/Summer 2022 Goals post, you'll know what job I'm talking about. As I write this, I am hoping for it to come to fruition in - yes - Spring/Summer 2022, but there's no guarantee and it is a BIG GOAL.
I'm sure I'm missing a bunch, but that's what I've got for now.
Love the Swedish Chef gif, he's one of my favorite Muppets with his creepy real people hands, ha!
ReplyDeleteA blogger trip SOMEWHERE would be awesome! I can reveal my in real life shy/awkwardness tomato red blushing from anxiety, lols. FUN. But honestly though, add me to the guest list :)
You would think my Spanish would be much better considering where I live, but all I know are basic verbs and nouns. The only coherent sentence I can string together is where is the library. Though I do use "donde esta" as a question (where is it) on it's own. I cannot roll an r to save my life.
I can't really swim swim, but I can tread water and float kinda. I never got the hang of trying to BREATH while doing the breast stroke, the idea of getting water in my lungs is terrifying so I would just try to hold my breath the whole way. You've got your arms, legs, head turning/breathing all to consider all at once, oy.
I am the same - can kinda tread water/float. I LOVE being in the water - just not water over my head!
DeleteThe blogger trip mention was totally about you & possibly others or you could bring your sister or friends or whatever. But definitely some kind of girls trip including us.
I adore Swedish Chef and often hear his voice in my head. Hurgin Blurgen! I don't know. Weirdness abounds. But that was one of the gifs that came up when I searched for "melons" (not the original gif I was looking for) and it cracked me up, so... Glad you enjoyed it! :)
