I'd like to lose some weight. I'm hoping that since this new job will have a more set schedule than my previous, I can start walking every morning.

I will start nursing school in the fall if all goes well. I want to be able to balance that and this new job.

I bought a new used car a few months ago, and I'd like to pay it off way early.

I want to make changes in my apartment to make it more energy efficient and automated. This will start with the thermostat and lights.

I want to work my way through (almost) an entire cook book that I bought for cast iron, and see if I can't broaden what I eat to include things other than potatoes and pasta.

I'd like to reclaim my office from my cat. The litter box is in there, as is the couch she sleeps on often. It's the least-used room right now because my old job didn't require much outside of work, but that's going to change.

I'd like to raise my proficiency with the bass guitar. I've been playing for almost three years now, but pretty basic stuff. I'd like to finally sit and learn slap and pop stuff.

Good luck with nursing school! ghostoffuffle has been going through that for maybe two years now.

There's a ton of musicians on Hubski, you're very much not alone on that one.

Argh only been doing it for seven months. Feels like two years, though. I'm done in May.

Goals for the year:

Get through school

Be a family man again

Decide on a nursing focus- ER or crit care

Write/record a song or two

Spend quality time on the Oregon coast

Think they're all attainable. BFX, are you still doing anything in radio? You ever look into a KEXP internship/gig?

NotADoc good luck with nursing school prep. It's rewarding material, and I look forward to having an interesting, secure job with room for growth when I'm out.
