Happy 2018!

Happy 2018!  I know I am 10 days late but that doesn't mean we can't start talking about 2018 now...because it all counts right?

I spent New Years Eve with Uncle John out at Gayle and Erny's party.  It was a low key event but nice to celebrate with good people full of love and friendship.  I was the DD (Designated Driver) so I really didn't drink much...and I was not alone!

I don't really believe in resolutions but I do make goals for 2018.  Here are some goals I set:

1. Be financially responsible - make wise financial choices
2. Continue to focus on nutrition and exercise - always important
3. Organize closets and drawers - how did they get so bad so quickly
4. Eliminate negative self talk - lift up not knock down

Doesn't seem like a big list but they are huge to me.  They are tough goals that will require daily work to meet.  But when I meet those goals, I will feel good about it and I think I will feel better overall.

So what else is going on with Alex?  Let's list since we are on a list roll!

• I saw Dr. L before the holidays.  My cancer remains in "remission"
• I've developed irritating rashes on my neck and face.  I'm now part of the "basket of ointments" club
• I continue to do my foodie group meals.  Direct conflict with goal #1 and #2
• I'm working waaaayyyyy too much
• I am taking a break from dating.  Cynicism and dating don't go together well
• Bella is growing and still has kitten energy
• Sissy and Baby are very needy now
• I have some trips planned this year that I can't wait to do.  Bucket list - Panama Canal is going down!
• I've been doing PT for balance.  Slow and steady wins the race here.
• I'm not fostering cats this winter.  I'm in cat overload
• I'm still getting meals delivered and am enjoying the variety in my diet.  Conflict with #1 and #2

How are you?  I hope your year is starting out great!!
