April Goals
OMG! First day of April! How is that even possible?! I feel like the past 3 months have absolutely flown by. Sure, I spent a lot of February feeling like I was constantly dry heaving into a paper bag due to the Kid's medical issues but otherwise, where did the time go?! I have things to do! People to see! Shit to write! Gah! I need to make a plan and goals so that I can ignore most of them and then on May 1st say something like "HOW IS MAY ALREADY?" So come along and see my April goals. You don't have to. It's just a suggestion.
Book writing: My book is going to have 16 chapters. I have completed 3 chapters. I need to get on this STAT. So I plan to finish 6 more chapters this month. There might be some sobbing.
Running: I have become a convert after almost 4 weeks. I love it. I get jerky when I don't get a run in. This morning I did not get a run in because the Kid stayed up until almost 11, fell asleep and then Karate-kicked me in the kidneys at 4 in the morning. Repeatedly. I have about 4 weeks left on my interval training. It is only going to get harder but bring it. Yes! One lifestyle change in the making! And just a little warning... when I finish the 8 weeks of training, there will so much smug in the air that you will be all like "Uh oh. Tova actually completed something and she be so smug. And look, flying pigs"
Decluttering: A friend recently wrote an article about Kondo who wrote The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying-Up. She tackled her closet using Marie Kondo's advice. A few friends have also jumped on the can-do Kondo (like what I did there?) lifestyle and now I am starting to feel peer pressure. When we moved last year, I got rid of a lot of crap. But now almost a year has passed and crap is starting to collect again and it is time that I get rid of it. And provide some order to my things so that the Husband doesn't have to deal with me nudging him at 5 a.m. whispering "Where is my glitter and glue gun?" So this month I plan to tackle the living room and my closet (which also involves putting away my winter wardrobe... if it ever gets warm again).
Find a location for the Meet and Greet: On Facebook you might have seen the plans for the Operation Tubetop Meet and Greet in Vienna on June 20th. I am super super excited about this! Everybody is invited so search for it and sign up. I will post the location once I have a firm "yes". I have one place in mind that I think will be perfect. It is outside and covered because you never know with Vienna weather. Today is April 1st. It snowed today. SNOWED! Apparently the European groundhog got up from his IKEA bed, lit a Gauloises, took a deep breath and declared "Yes, the winter. 'E will stay another 6 weeks. Merd." Gah! Also, I will be having a raffle for prizes and all the money will go to the Autistic centre here in Vienna. So come on by for a drink(s), a chance to win something and a chance to give to charity! AWESOME!
Eating habits: Although I have lost a little itty bitty amount of weight, I would of course like to lose more. The jogging has been awesome and it has definitely helped get me more toned, but as those obnoxious fit people say "Abs are made in the kitchen!". Actually, cheese melted on shit has been made in my kitchen and this is why I am still fat. April shall be the month of portion control. Maybe. We will see. After Easter and after my dim sum brunch on Monday to celebrate Passover.
Anywho! I am off for the next 6 days. I need this time to really relax and get stuff done! The past 3 months have flown by! So catch you on the flipside! Or maybe tomorrow or the day after. Happy Wednesday!
