Workin’ on the List: Jan 2011 status report

So it’s been a couple of months since I last took stock, & the beginning of the year seems like a good time to take an inventory of my progress on The List.

• Move out of West Hollywood
  This one has changed. Where before, it was with the goal of moving to West LA/Santa Monica-esque, over the course of December I realized that honestly? That’s not where my life is or even where I want it to be. So things are in progress to move elsewhere, but the need for first & last still remains.

• spend a month in Europe this summer
  The original plan had been to go for three months, but depending on moving and what happens with employment here at Museum!Co, the idea of putting myself in a regimented program for the course of summer has become a far more fluid idea. As I talked about last week, I need to roll with the idea of making my own curriculum, so we’ll see how that one pans out.

• save up to buy my own single
  I’m at the point where as a rower it’s just time for me to save up & make the investment of buying my own 1x. Plus, I seem to be oddly proportioned compared to other female rowers, so it’s best that I have a boat whose settings are custom’ed to my body. Right now, the Fillipi brand is in the lead, but I’d like to try a Midweight Fluid before I take the plunge and write a check.

It might seem silly to keep the page, but having the list & being able to see what I’ve actually managed to get done over the last few months is really nice. Sometimes you get the feeling like there’s just no end to it all, ya know? If nothing else, after four years, being this><close to paying off Zoom-Zoom is just so phenomenal, I can’t even tell you — I’ll get the equivalent of almost half a month’s rent back into my budget, it’s that freakin’ rawk.

Don’t worry – the next post will be life revelations, how the heavens opened up & gave me the insight of how to fix the mess of my office and studio in one fell purchase, and the fact that I’m pondering using 2011 to remember how to properly knit, gods help you all.
