Jan. 6th, 2008 05:35 pmI haven't said much about new year's resolutions. I haven't had that much to say. I could write that I'm going to try to exercise more or get the house clean, or any of a hundred other things that everybody says, but I hardly need to wait until the turning of a new year for that; I've been saying that sort of thing for months.
But getting to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
foriegn_legion and Dwarf again tonight, and spending some time with mocha_mephooki, and thinking about the upcoming vacation with my family, and looking online at railroad museums while thinking about taking a trip with my grandfather have all conspired to give me an even better one.
I want to use this year to do a better job of connecting with people than I did last year. I don't do that very well in general. I want to spend more weekends and evenings in the company of friends. There are other things I need to do of course; the basement is going to be attacked this month and next (I hope) and I'm working on getting the rest of the house more orderly (it's an ongoing battle), and I'd like to devote more time to photography and entering shows and contests and things (if I can), but making and keeping connections with new and old friends seems more important than any of that. I think that's what I should most concentrate my efforts on.
There's a railroad museum that I'm going to see if my grandpa wants to go with me too. I'm still planning on interviewing him for the story corps project, but I'm kind of nervous about it 'cause I don't see him nearly as much as I'd like to. So I'm going to try to see him more. *grins*
And it was really nice having people over tonight. I used to see Dwarf and Foreign_legion all the time; now I only see them once a month or so, if that much, and they live way too close for that. Dwarf talked about getting together for X-box games; I'd like that.
And I think that I need to resolve to be on IM this year. Being online makes me nervous. But a lot of people use it and keep in touch that way; I want to do that too. I'm sure that I can find enough things to do while I'm sitting in front of the computer (keyworking pictures, catching up on bills, etc.) that I can justify scheduling one night a week to be on IM and talk, at least part-time. I'm thinking that Monday would be the best time for me, so tomorrow after work I'm going to try to track down all my accounts and password and set up Trillian again.
Well, I'm going to get back to cleaning and organizing the computer room (I just got the desk that Andrea's computer used to be on cleaned off and I'm setting it up as a little workstation to organize bills and write checks and other paperwork-stuff at) and by then, Andrea will have dinner done. I hope we're both feeling a little better tomorrow. It sucks being sick, even if, as in my case, it's only at the mildly annoying level. Gotta fill up that vaporizer again tonight.
