I\u2019m in a funk. I think I\u2019ve been in a funk for a while now\u2026I mean, yes, I always knew that I like mindless entertainment, and it is okay in small doses\u2026but I don\u2019t know what else I do with my time that is productive when it is not cooking, cleaning, or working out with Anson. I\u2019m able to get organized at work, but that\u2019s cuz I\u2019m being paid for this. When it comes to book club stuff, I kinda wait till the last minute to finish it. I accumulate all my scrap book stuff in a compartment in the closet, but it just keeps building up. I haven\u2019t used my desktop computer regularly since we\u2019ve moved (partly cuz it couldn\u2019t connect to the WIFI and the printer went wonky when Ubuntu was upgraded), but that also dissuaded me to blog more since it\u2019s harder to blog on the iPad. Okay\u2026problems written out\u2026resolution time!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Computer is back online. I\u2019ll try to use it more in blogging. It\u2019ll also conserve the battery life of my iPad. And since I\u2019ll be in the room, it\u2019ll give Anson some space for some alone time.<\/li>\n
  2. Regularly update my scrapbook\/blog (look at it once a month. I\u2019ve already set up as a recurring thing on my google calendar\u2026jia yo!)<\/li>\n
  3. Learn a new skill? I\u2019m iffy about this one\u2026I hate languages, and I\u2019m already getting stumped on the 2nd<\/sup> lesson in German ;\/ maybe take a class at the Santa Clara Adult Education Center? I downloaded the Coursera app (what Uncle Kenway uses to learn new things), but the classes just sound so dry\u2026) Write a short story? It\u2019s so hard for me to even blog\u2026that just sound improbable\u2026there are many things I can learn. I think I need to keep my options open.<\/li>\n
  4. Of course, be better at devotions and prayer. I only get as much as I try to put into it. Develop my relationships with my book club members. Hang out with them. Be better at sending out the prayer requests. Sing worship songs and play guitar\/piano more. Prepare in the study more\u2026.even though it is hard to understand!<\/li>\n
  5. Help in researching some household projects that we\u2019ve been meaning to get to: new dual pane windows in our room, new driveway so that people don\u2019t scrape their cars using it, new backyard that will be less maintenance.<\/li>\n
  6. Just bought a FitBit. I\u2019ll see how it is, but a goal most people set is to do 10,000 steps per day\u2026not sure how much I do now, but I think it\u2019ll make me more aware of how my health and fitness is day in and day out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Maybe if I set up these kinds of goals, Anson would be more willing to go out with me at other times. My goal should be to be able to go to the Exploratorium if I get my blog organized, do my bookclub stuff regularly, report my research on windows, and do 10k steps for two weeks\u2026fine, maybe a month. I\u2019ll refine that, but this is a good start! Thanks for letting me organize my thoughts, blog! You really are a big help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
