The List

So….how are you all doing? Many thanks for the lovely messages after Saturdays wee episode – I think I was just very, very tired of feeling that way. I’m not good at feeling washed out and sad and blue.

However, I’m pleased to report that a big old think has been had, much sleeping and pondering has taken place, a dream was had and recalled (which I never do. It was a crazy-ass dream ~ some kids and I were hiding in a tenement and there was a box of possessions and a rainstorm and a flood. So I went onto dreammoods.com later that day and found out that the main themes were confusion, rebirth, destructive impulses, cleansing, renewal, fortune, love, a need to nurture my inner child and let some things go, and (direct quote) “neglect of my sexual nature”. So, plenty of food for thought from my usually silent subconscious), and while I’m still here and still standing, there are some changes going on.

My priorities are shifting. I know what I want from life, I’m starting to understand what my priorities are…and now I just have to work on getting there….

And we all know how I like my targets. So here, in no order whatsoever, are the things I would like to achieve in the next 5 years. Some are hard, some are easy, some are completely mental, but for better or worse, here are the components of the 5 year plan:

…and a dentist….
…and an optician.
