Happy new year!

Here on the east coast of Australia, it’s been 2012 for five hours and forty-five minutes. So far, it’s all going fine.

I slept through new years’ for the first time since I was a little one and I’m wondering if it’s because I’m old.

Though I was woken up by the sound of the neighbourhood’s illegal fireworks going off, and Chaos’ screaming when it was all over. Apparently, she wanted more fireworks. Poor kid.

My new years’ resolutions are as follows:

1) Always keep working on my writing and try to finish what I started [traditional]

2) Monitor my weight and do my utmost to get back down to the vicinity of eighty kilos

3) Do some friggin’ housework every day ‘cause nobody else is

Let’s see how long those last.

I currently weigh ninety-five point four. That’s almost up to 100 again. I did weigh 100 kilos in January of 2009 and got down to 84 on a slow diet. Now my bad habits have slowly got me back up again. Yikes.

I obviously need to keep track of myself or I turn into a blob monster.

On my favour I have: The knowledge that I did it once before, a dog to walk [the leash is in scenic Coominya] and the knowledge of how I did it.

Now I just have to get into good habits and stop eating half a block of chocolate for breakfast.

As for my writing… I’m already doing something every day. That’s a plus. Now, if only it could be something of a professional standard.

What’s some of your new years’ resolutions?
