...and on the Seventh day, God rested

I'm not the least bit religious, but the Christian Bible is still a great resource from which to learn from. In this case it's that we should all take frequent breaks, say every seventh day, or so. Also, too, holidays (...that's how it came out of my brain, grammar be damned, and who am I to argue).

My father wanted to go to Petsmart today (New Year's Day, btw) to pick up that vital can of kitty food that just couldn't wait. I told him they had to be closed, but I was wrong. After the clerk confirmed that they were in-fact open, which the store's automated greeting also said, I told her if I ever happened by Petsmart's corporate offices that I'd torch it for her.

Of course I was joking (I have no idea where their corporate offices are), but the employees should have done that themselves.

Jeeze, People. Take a break.

New Year; New ...

Okay. It's a new year. It could mean something. Sure, why not?

I (along with 2/3rds of America) want to start excercizing, but that has more to do with the end of festivities and the accompanied feasting.

I want to get my finances in order, which I started in, I think, October and erased my biggest, baddest debt. There is more that I needed to do, but I wasn't smart.

I have to start the process of getting back to school, the details of which I will save for a later (if ever) post. It then follows that I need to excell in and finish school.

And this is where I start to get upset at myself for all that I haven't done and, there fore, still have to do.

... and so here I'll stop.

New Years, of course, is not the only time that we're allowed to make resolutions, so as the above thingys are tackled I will start again. Perhaps with another declaration, such as this.

The above, and the steps needed to accomplish them, are actually the more important things that need doing.

And the planet, via which-ever poor, unfortunate souls that read this, will be my accountability.

I will not be able to reinvent myself and bring forth a Brand New Bill. But a Better Bill; that I can do.
