Yup I achieved my step goal for the 2nd day of 2025! It’s 7,500 for work days and 10,000 for days off. It took a bit of pacing around the house, but I got some house chores done as I paced!
We worked today on the Bolivar Peninsula. I took this video and this video. Actually two years ago today was the first day I ever met Kevin, and we did the exact same jobs on the peninsula. I had done this job 17-20 years prior. It was my old boyfriend that gave me the idea to go back. We weren’t a “real couple” because of being long distance, but he and I had been best friends since age 15. It’s a long story. He’s about to move on to someone else too- if his mom lets him. Isn’t that sad, a 46 year old needs to do what his mom tells him? But she owns his house and he’s a Nepo Baby, so a lot is at stake. I’m glad I moved on. I’m glad all that happened in the last two years happened. Things have a way of working out. I work the next three days at least, so the step count goal will also be 7500 steps each day.
When I mentioned my new year goals, I mentioned health and fitness and finances. I also forgot to mention creative endeavors. I would like to open an Etsy shop with denim chenille quilts and upcycled jewelry.
With my writing, I want to take five days off when inventory slows down and just check into a motel by myself and do nothing but write. Whether or not that ever happens I still set the goal to set aside 30 minutes a day to my writing. To prepare for that, I cleaned my desk and wiped the whole area down with grapefruit smelling wipes.
