aunt_zeldaWhat a year 2025 was. Horrible politics. Money stress. My mother broke her leg. My cat got sick. My grandmother died. My cat died. I got full-time employment again. I tried to treat my mysterious skin issues. I ran D&D at conventions for total strangers and had a great time. I had a health scare and got on new meds to treat it, and it worked. I adopted two kittens. I helped my mother move halfway across the country to live in the same city as me. I got better at communicating with my girlfriend.
My resolutions for 2025 were:
1) Restart therapy
2) Cooking lessons so I can cook dinner for my girlfriend more often
3) Go to the park/somewhere in nature alone regularly
4) Work on scripts, finish 2 by end of year
5) Find a hobby separate from my girlfriend
6) Connect with friends more often
1) I did for a while, and that was especially helpful through the first half of the year
2) This fell apart, due to a combination of things outside our control, me realizing the friend I'd hoped could teach me wasn't clicking as a teacher personally, and my own anxieties and avoidance. I did get pretty good at cooking twice a week for my girlfriend most weeks.
3) This didn't happen. I got out to kayak but not enough, and not alone.
4) This didn't happen.
5) This didn't happen.
6) This did happen, I watched tv shows with friends online, played more games in person and online, and put myself out there more. I didn't keep up with some friends as much as I would have liked to.
My 2026 Resolutions Are:
1) Learn to cook 20 recipes.
2) Find some kind of regular movement thing I can do consistently (swimming, dancing, swordfighting, martial art, generic exercise, walking in the park) once a week ideally.
3) Attend at least 3 conventions.
4) Get into making mocktails and cocktails (get supplies, make list, learn to make 10 different ones.)
5) Establish regular painting hangouts with friends to work on my Warhammer miniatures.
6) Watch at least 52 movies.
