1. I’ve gotten myself into something wonderful.
2. I’m still working the same shitty ass job in the same shitty ass town.
3. I’m going to see my birth mom’s other children and fiancee this upcoming holidays. She passed away in 2008 BUT Eddie (her fiancee) is a solid guy and he took custody of the children. I’ve met him and the children before I just haven’t seen them in forever….nor have I ever been to her grave, seen where she lived or worked. This is a big step for me. I grieve her every single day still. It hit me very hard whence I finally found her and then found out immediately that she had passed away only a few months before. I asked my parents to find her twice a year every year for forever. They didn’t until it was too late. I’ll never forgive them for that. BUT I’m working on my depression problems so visiting Heather’s grave is a very big step for me. It will be an added bonus to see Isaiah, Abigail, and Eddie.
4. I’ve cut down my alcohol consumption.
5. I haven’t had a cigarette since November 15th.
6. Ethan, my best friend, has been making quite the effort recently to be able to see me. And it’s fucking great.

Things in the near future:

• I want to start an exercise routine, something pretty intense like P90X
• I feel like learning how to rock climb. There is a rock climbing gym in Winnipeg, about an hour and a half away from here.
• Maybe I should learn an instrument?? Like the tin whistle or kazoo.  
• Throw up a few Project Hope items.
• I need to get fucked up and roll down the giant hill by the nature pond again.
• I need to save some money.
• Traveling. 2 years. It’s happening.
