Holy snow storm batman....

What a snow storm we got last night and today.  Except for the kids where already out for Christmas break they would of gotten a snow day.  It was a two part snow storm.  First part started over night and stopped early morning but by late afternoon it started up again and didn't let up till the we hours of the morning.  We had a blizzard warning for over 12 hours because of the high winds.  We got  44 cm's of snow in total.   The city was shut down for the day, the government, the university's and the malls were all closed.  The buses weren't even running it was that bad on the roads.  The sidewalks at this point are nonexistent.  Not sure when they are going to get it all cleaned up.  The kids will be going back to school on Monday so I hope by then.

Resolutions .......

Not sure if I am going to make any to be honest.  Never seem to make it past the first week or two and they are forgotten.  Have thought of a couple I would love to do like :

The mason jar - you spend the year filling it with hand written memory notes, then at the end of the year you take them out and read them.

Take a photo a day -  it is just what you think, take a pic a day and post it.  Only thing with that one is you really need to be a person that goes somewhere everyday.  Maybe it can be modified to post a pic a day and when I do go out stock up on some pics to get me through the days I don't go out.  Or some variation.

Exercise -  would love to get back to the gym, but without a car to get there and it being winter, pretty hard to do.  I know, excuses.   But it just isn't fun waiting in the freezing cold for the bus.  Maybe I need a gym buddy with a car. lol  I do have a treadmill at the house so I am defiantly getting back at that.  It is something at least.

Eating better -  that is a given, which I tend to do for the most part everyday.  I find if I get to restrictive I am miserable and I fail.  So I watch my portions on those things that aren't as good for me. 

Read now -  I have a challenge on Goodreads to read 52 books this year.  I made my goal last year but there was more comics in the list then books.  So not sure if that was a fail or not.  But reading is reading.  Finding quiet time is hard most times.

Have fun -  whether that be putting a puzzle together or a Lego.  Going for a walk, once the winter is over, of course.  Watching tv, listening to music, playing a game.  What ever it may be just do it.

Well as this list gets longer, I guess I will be making some resolutions after all.  Or maybe I should just take the pressure off and do the best I can each day.  Take each day as they come and make them the best day for me.  Lets see what happens.

A new year - 2019 ....

It is day one of a new year.  Honestly it feels just like any other day.  Sitting here waiting for the ham to cook.  Probably wont venture out of my pj's today except get into another pair later after my shower.  lol 

It is pretty nice day out there today other then being cold that is.  The whole calm before the storm, I guess.  Suppose to be getting a major snow storm tonight into tomorrow morning.  Then it will be nice for a few hours in the afternoon but the winds are to get gusty then more snow.  Can you say blizzard conditions. sigh  I hate winter.  Thankfully Thursday and Friday is suppose to be nice, might get out then for a few errands.  Feels like I haven't been out in ages.  But it is winter, the cold and the snow are most defiantly not a friend of mine.

Haven't decided if I am going to make any resolutions this year or not.  I never seem to follow through with them for very long.  But will see.  I do have a book challenge on the go, 52 books this year.  I completed my challenge last year but alot of those where comics, but does that really count as a book.  Will post more on that on my book blog, at some point.

Guess that is it for now.  Wonder what this new year will bring? 

Here's hoping for something new in the New Year......

I have high hope's for the new year.   I just hope I can accomplish something, anything to make my life more interesting, better then it has been.  Just seems like the days go by and nothing stands out.  I feel like I am living a life full of regrets or should have's.  Time to kick my butt in gear and live for myself not everyone else.  Wish me luck....

1 week down......

The first week of the new year is almost in the books and I can honestly say I don't see much difference from last year.   I have the Christmas tree and all the decorations down.  The house looks bare now.   But no major life changing or ah ha moments.  Guess that corner is a bit wider then I thought. 

The weather sucks then again it is winter.  Makes it hard to get motivated or go outside.  The kids will be back to school tomorrow so back to the normal routine and I am looking forward to it.

No resolutions made as of yet just trying to make small changes to make myself happier and do more things for myself.  Really need to learn to say no.  Just wish I would see more progress with getting back to being more myself that somehow got lost along the way.  I am sure some days will be better then others but as long as I keep moving forward and don't give up I might just get some where. lol

Really need to sit down and write a list of what I want from this New Year and maybe then check things off as I go each day.  Seems like my day is gone and I look back and I have nothing to show for it and I hate that.  Oh well all I can is take each day as they come and try to make them better then he day before.    Wish me luck.

Resolutions .....

New year, new me.  Yeah right.  Every year I make resolutions, and every year I fail.  I managed to keep them for a short time but life really has a way of sucking up your day with things leaving no time for new stuff.  I know what your thinking excuses, excuses and your probably right.  Anything important and worth doing you should take the time and just do it.  No argument here but in the end I don't manage to get there for what ever reason.  So what am I do to then.  Beats the hell out of me.  I think I will start with small things here and there and see what happens.  Something has to give.  I just hope it isn't my sanity, lol.  Wish me luck.

Happy New Year 2018 ........
