I&#8217;ve gotten up to 80 items and I just can&#8217;t go any further, and now half the things I&#8217;ve put down I&#8217;m not sure I want to do this year, so phooey on it. I think I&#8217;d rather set up a rolling list of goals, like paying off two of the sub-loans with my student loan providers, and then build up from there. I do have temporal goals that will suit themselves to a yearly list (i.e., race goals), but some of the other stuff I found myself wanting to concentrate on is likely more multi-year than not, especially the financial stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Long day of cleaning. It was very much needed, I&#8217;d let the dining table become a junk depository and it needed emptying, and laundry needed doing, and vacuuming, and dusting, and all that stuff needed to happen. Was more motivated than usual because <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/fj.livejournal.com\">FJ!!<\/a> popped by before MG and I ran him up to BWI to fly home to LA. All was in order for his visit, so face was saved and he didn&#8217;t see how junky it looked 24 hours previous.<\/p>\n<p>Not to say it&#8217;s a show apartment, but it&#8217;s gotten much better as I&#8217;ve concentrated on fixing individual areas.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I had decided to do this year on the list was a charity event. With AIDS Marathon pulling out of DC due to the incomprehensible actions of the Whitman-Walker Clinic, I think I&#8217;ve settled on a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foodandfriends.org\/faf\/home\/default.asp?ievent=218715&#038;lis=1&#038;kntae218715=6A414F0032054B129CE2EBB425B1FD3B\">biking event<\/a> that helps <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foodandfriends.org\/\">Food and Friends<\/a> here in DC. I&#8217;m going to an informational session for them tomorrow evening, and if I like the info I see from them I&#8217;m likely to sign up. The ride&#8217;s in July, and that&#8217;s a good time to build up to the distances we&#8217;re looking at. I like the work the charity does here in DC, so I&#8217;m favorably inclined to them, but I still want the chance to ask some questions before I make the plunge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m killing the Uberlist for this year.
