Though nothing's official yet, I've been told they're keeping me at my job (at the thrift store.) So that might help me relax a bit. Nice job, nice people, having an income... maybe I'll settle down a bit.
I've been taking a "go with the flow" approach to life this year. Trying to have few expectations, take opportunities as they come. Now I have to decide whether that will be my approach in 2013 as well. Or maybe I don't have to decide. Maybe I just go with the flow. ;-)
I only set one actual goal this year, which was to read 100 books--cause I usually read about 50. So this month I've been working on hitting that mark, and I'm almost there!
It helped that for Christmas (23rd-26) I went to my mum's in Vancouver. That meant 3 hours of travel time in which to read, and 3 hours back again. And the internet connection where she now is (her house is sold, she's staying with a friend for now) -- the internet connection is TERRIBLE. And she doesn't have any TV cable set up yet. So I read read read.
I read two Regency romances while there, and I'm half-way through a third (Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake.) I have 1/5th of a Meg Cabot to finish, 1/2 of a Ruth Rendell, and to finish skim reading the Brene Brown. Or I can finish re-reading Cyrano, which is short. And then I'll be done! So I'm confident I'll meet my goal. (It helps that all the TV shows are on Christmas break.)

Wow - admirable goal and you did it (or will shortly). Awesome.
I hope that the stress and its effects continue to dissipate. And I think it's wonderful that you are going to hit your book goal. Take care!
Fabulous! I'm also an avid reader. I'm catching up on my list while
cat-sitting. : )
I say go with the flow, but stay aware and something will surface.
Bravo! We know you can do it!
This is the part where, at a party, there'd be a circle around me chanting "Go! Go! Go!"
@Robena - I like your advice, thanks.
