the year that was
1/3 '15
Good things:
- My son's eating, weight, and height have all moved in the right direction
- I have not yet failed at transforming from "only guy working on a project" to "guy in charge of multiple people working on multiple projects."
- I'm much better at running
- I did a bona fide chin-up for the first time in maybe a decade (although it still feels like cheating that the only way I could accomplish that was to lose 30 pounds)
- I learned to make pasta
- My biggest financial disaster of the year was losing $450 on the FSA account
Bad things:
- I still freak out that I'm doing the parenting thing all wrong
- I also still freak out that I'm doing the being in charge of people at work thing all wrong
- I wanted to finish the year with 200 miles run, but only made it to 180
- I made no progress at all on any project that wasn't directly related to work or my family
- I read only one book from cover to cover this year
- One of my dogs died
Goals for next year:
- Run to Rivendell
- Help my son learn to read
- Read at least two books from cover to cover
- Make something new

Sounds like you're plugging away in all the right directions. Cheers.
Are you allowed to be carried on a horse for part of the way while sick unto death?
That would probably have been a good plan, yesterday, instead of what I actually did, which was to go for a 1-mile treadmill run in a 60ºF fitness center, which my lungs have not yet recovered from.
