Challenges for 2005

I don't want these to be resolutions cos that doesn't quite fit. But here are a few things I want to do in 2005.

1- read 100 books, if possible 50 fiction, 50 non. So far I have read one, plundered through the Wizard of Oz this afternoon (much longer than the film!). Next is "The Shaping of Things To Come".

2- I'm going to try for a month to live on the equivalent of Jobseekers Allowance (£55.65 a week). Might take me a while to work out how that will work and what counts and doesn't, but aware that I fritter money like nothing.

3- I'm not going to eat McDonalds for a whole year. Going to try to avoid Burger King and KFC too. (Working up to the chicken shop by the station..) Might help with the Jobseekers Allowance

4- I'm going to improve on my 20% hit rate of getting cards to people for birthdays..

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm
