- At work - recruiting another team member, so we are not all constantly plate spinning and I might actually have chance to spend time planning.
- At home - finally getting the pictures etc up on the walls.
- Nationally - voting the Tories out.
Finding employment
The job market has been unbelievably brutal this last year
come out, maybe?
Hope it goes well!
Hopefully putting myself out there more. I have a spinning and weaving guild that I've joined, but I've been too burnt out to go to any of the meetings. π
You go to that, I'll go to the cross stitch group I've been avoiding out of general nervousness. Deal?
Deal. π
2024 we are coming to conquer you!
I hope that orange bastard Trump goes to prison or dies in 2024. I prefer prison because he needs to pay for his crimes, but dead is good too. The only thing is it would have to be a really dumb accident out in public so there wouldnβt be any conspiracy theories. Maybe he could fall off the stairs while getting off his plane and crack his skull on the tarmac.
Paying off the last of my credit card debt.
Same here. Had a car unexpectedly die and the new car lease messed up our financial plans. Should have our CC debt paid off by the end of next year.
Being able to say "oh that was x+1 years ago" instead of "x years ago" when reflecting on all my past traumas.
Trading in my Kia for a new (non Hyundai/Kia) car so I can stop being stressed of coming out to an empty parking spot in the morning.
Finishing my bathroom remodel then starting on my kitchen
Honestly, nothing really. It feels like each year more fucked up things are happening, so I lost the positivity I had for the upcoming years.
Don't get me wrong I am in a good place personally, but with all the stuff going on in the world it sometimes feel hard to believe it's gonna get better any time soon.
Iβll be getting my PhD in the Spring! Hopefully Iβll have a job lined up before graduating.
The obvious impending economic collapse.
Because boy, if it doesn't come, we're all pretty fucked.
Moving my family back home after caring for an elderly parent for 3 years.
I got tired of jumping around between streaming services to get deals and save money. I noticed that a couple major music streamers seemed to collude to raise rates at the same time, and I'm tired of that. I'm setting up my Plex server with some Black Friday deals and am looking forward to enjoying having that at my disposal.
My Apollo plush arriving.

Perhaps 2024 will be the year of the girlfriend

Making money over the summer and upgrading to a faster motorcycle
Getting back surgery (and fixing the problem, instead of, like, not ever being able to walk again). Then getting the green light at work so I can start work on a project I've proposed. And lastly, getting one of my side projects past the finish line.
Nothing huge yet.

Got a milestone birthday coming up but not sure what to do for it, once I have plans that'll be something exciting.

I've been working on learning gamedev as a hobby for a couple years and hope to release my first proper actual commercial game next year too which is pretty cool.

No holidays planned as of yet but we normally do that over the Christmas hols.

Also we may or may not get a dog.
I need more things for this list lol
Going skiing and visiting hot springs in Japan
Starting to restore a 1964 corvette
Maybe learning to paint pottery
Either die or get a job. Not picky on which one.
Monkeypaw: You die and get the position of ferryman ushering souls across the river Styx.
getting a job and socializing more
Season 4 of The Boys
Release of KDE Plasma 6
I'm going to 36 weeks of military training that will also be a substantial pay cut from my civilian career, but worth it in the long run as it'll be the necessary experience to switch my civilian career to my field of interest. Not looking forward to the training, but I'll be in such a better spot once I'm finished. Looking forward to that!
