2014 so far

well, so far 2014 is off to an interesting and different start than i had anticipated.  Not necessarily bad, just different.

For New Year's Eve, instead of having our normal gathering of friends at the house, we decided to just stay in and do nothing.  We hadn't had anyone over in months, really, so in my mind, any invites to people at NYE might have seemed very out of the blue.  And also, with the holidays being so condensed this year at work because Thanksgiving fell so late, i really didn't have the strength to try and pull something together.  We were going to go out on New Year's night, but that fell through as well.  And that's ok because we saved money by staying in again.

And then i decide to take a week off of work to just get myself together and recover from the holiday season.  i'd really wanted to get a good start on some projects here at the house.  And then i get sick.  So, none of those have gotten done.  i really hate that i've spent my time off being sick, but i suppose it could be worse.  At least i'm not sick at work.  That would really suck.

However, since i've wanted to stop smoking and promised Michael that i would, i did take this time of being sick as a great opportunity to start.  5 days so far without a cigarette.  Going through withdrawal can be really hard at times, but if that's what i have to go through to get it done then so be it!  If i can conquer this, i'm in pretty decent shape!

So, even though things have not started off as hoped and planned, i'm not too disappointed  haha  We'll see how it goes and how the rest of January progresses.  Woohoo!

Cheers!
