Goals

Here it is December 18th. Where has this year gone? It seems the older you get the faster time flies by. Tomorrow I'll be 56 years old. I look around and see people in thier 70's, 80's and even 90's and wonder what my life will be like if I'm lucky enough to live that long. I'm short, fat and seriously out of shape and now have Type II diabetes. The doctor just started me on new meds and I'm suppose to prick my finger every other morning and keep a log of my results. Let me tell you they are down right scarey and I've only had to log them in 3 days so far. I need to join a gym, like Curves but so far I've been too lazy or too cheap to join one. My goals I've set so far are: 1) Buy a house in 2007 2) Get another dog/puppy in 2007 3) start losing weight and get sugar levels under control 3) Take a vacation 4) See my best friend again 5) follow a stricter budget 6) Find someone to spend time with and not be so much of a recluse... and the list goes on. To buy a home in California, I'll need to find a part time job or figure out a way to have 2 full time jobs. The prices here are outrageous. People wonder why I want to move to the mid-west. The pay for what I do is the same in the mid-west as what I get paid here in California. The housing there is far cheaper than California. I live in one of the cheapest areas of California and I can't afford to buy a home here on my own. At least a home in a decent and safe area. In the mid-west, I could buy a home with acreage for $150,000 or less. Here, I can't even buy a condo or for the most part I couldn't even buy a mobile home in a park. Watch out 2007, the world is going to see a new, more outspoken me.
