flea1. Worry less about money. Appreciate what we have, which is enough. Accept that we are living nearly paycheck to paycheck while mr flea is in school, but this is a temporary situation. Be less jealous of those who have things I want. Do not act like my mother wrt finances.
2. As a corollary, however - look at a budget to see what our priorities are, and how we can allocate money to them and away from useless things we don't care about. Our grocery budget is huge, so shop more sensibly, cook instead of buying pre-packaged foods. When going to Whole Foods, make a list and stick to it. Stop going to Whole Foods so much. Stop buying treats every week. If you always have it, it isn't a treat.
3. Read more books! Something more challenging than Heyer and Crusie, now that I am not wallowing in sleep deprivation. Get back into a library routine.
4. As a corollary to 3, at some point this year I would like to receive 8 hours of sleep in a row.
5. Finish Casper's quilt.
6. Cook more, learn to proof yeast effectively so bread is not brick-like, do art projects with Casper, in general appreciate domestic time.
7. Do not abdicate garden responsibility in mid-July like the past 2 years. The garden is still going, and vegetables rot on the vine if you do not pick them. It may be hot and mosquitoey, but 10 minutes a day will help immensely.
Resolutions for January:
1. Clean the damn study.
2. Get the damn couch off our porch.
