03-04-10 What Happened to the Monthly Goals?


So, here we are in March and when I look back I didn't do too well on my goals for February. I did some good deeds, but not as many as I'd have liked and I didn't hang out with a lot of old friends. Still the same, I feel good about the month. I kept up my mostly healthy eating and exercise habits and I tried to just be nicer in general even on days when I didn't do a true "good deed". And though I didn't reconnect with a lot of old friends I did TRY. They just couldn't make it out to the things I invited them to. Also, I made some new friends, so, socially, I feel like I did pretty well anyway.

I think that with trying to find some sort of employment, looking for movie funding and getting back into acting and auditions and stuff, that these monthly themed daily or weekly challenges might be too much to ask of myself. I think that maybe some themes might be good. Because this month has already started without a theme, I'm going to make the theme something that doesn't have to be done on a daily or weekly schedule or a part of the photograph, though if that day it is photographed that's cool too.

This month's theme is "Make My Life Better March". This month I will strive to make my life better. I will work even harder towards employment, work on my documentaries more, get my room more organized, try and take care of myself more and be nicer to myself.

For example, today I am a bit sick. Not the kind of sick that would keep me from working if I had a job, or doing something awesome if that was on the agenda, but, I do have a sore throat and a bit of a cold. It's unpleasant and tiring, but not serious at all. Since I don't have a job I spent my day alternately napping, drinking tea with lemon and honey and looking for jobs while "When Harry Met Sally" played in the background.I feel a bit guilty for not walking Frankie tonight like usual. I don't like going whole days without at least some movement/exercise and I don't like letting Frankie down. But I also know that if I want to feel better as quickly as possible, I need to take it easy, overdose on vitamin C and sleep as much as possible. Soups, good sleep, tea with lemon and honey and lots of "Emergen-C" vitamin powder are the only things I need to heal from colds like this.

So, because I want to be better, and because I want to take good care of myself, I am just gonna rest as much as possible. I could probably kick this thing even if I didn't get that much rest, but I know I can kick it faster if I do. My photo is of me in bed with one of the many cups of lemon and honey herbal tea.

So, welcome to "Make My Life Better March"! This weekend I will be doing some fun stuff with Curtis and the Oscars are on! Next week is a lot of work and business-y kind of stuff including the start of a round of auditions for upcoming plays in the area.

Tonight if I feel up to it I may even clean my room a bit. :)
