My Next 30 Years

My plan was to do this yesterday, but it got pretty busy.

It was my 30th birthday, and since it’s just before the new year, it just seems right to try to make a turn of things.

I’ve had an awesome life up until now, with big droughts of absolutely terrible. Just like everyone, right? :) 

I want to make a difference. Whether it’s just in my life, if it’s in a friend or family’s life, or if I can manage to make a difference in a stranger’s life---I want to make a difference. I want to be focused, I want to have a plan. I don’t want to keep living in the style that I have been. I want to enjoy my work, I want to feel productive, I want to get rid of my clutter in every way possible.

2017 is a new life for me. I’m newly married, I finished a decade, I left a career I’d been in for a decade. I’m an “adult” now. I want to focus my time, and not regret choices I’ve made. Be proud of myself.

I’m going to use this blog to stay accountable, and if any luck, have a detailed account of my next 30 years and how things have changed.

This is a little scattered, I apologize.

Dec 30, 2016

I work overnights, so it was pretty awesome to have my coworkers should out Happy Birthday at the stroke of midnight. They spoiled me. One agent bought my Timbits, one agent came in on his day off and gave me a beautiful frame that says ‘Smile’ and a card that said ‘There’s no bad time to meet Kalli*’

*name changed

I was given a card from my Management with chocolates, and hugs everywhere. It was pretty amazing. I felt grown up and strong ‘cause I’d taken time to do my hair and makeup, and was feeling pretty awesome in my outfit as well.

When the shift was over, I stayed late, because I was trying to set up my reports and meetings for the new year properly. I wouldn’t be in for 5 shifts, and there’s a lot more expected of me this year, which has me a little panicked, but that’s alright. I can manage. *crosses fingers*

I got home and ended up sleeping until 5pm. My husband made me one of his handmade cards, which I love to pieces. We got ready to go and went to After Dark, a board game cafe, and ended up meeting up with Carlos, Ofelia, Louis and Denis with J for games. We had food (which ended up not that great) and played games from 7 - 11pm. Tried many new ones, which I’m looking to pick up at some point. Water Tsuro, Tempurra, Make ‘n Break, and Lanterns. We looked at Nuns on the Run, but it was complicated to figure out on the fly. Played regular Tsuro. I’m sure I’m missing some!

It was amazing to have people come out who I hadn’t seen in a while, or hadn’t had a chance to spend time with outside of work. One of my goals is to spend more time with friends and playing games.

I ended up trying to stay up, but passed out on the couch for a couple of hours, but now I’m playing Creativerse in the Server my hubby is in, and working on setting up my routines.

What’s your 2017 look like? What plans do you have?
