waiting

I am waiting for the battery for my camera to charge so I can finish taking photos for my ebay auctions. Were I more organized and motivated, I would have thought to have done this earlier in the day.

I have a thousand things I want to write about. Most of it I cannot, for reasons of confidentiality and professionalism. At the least, I can say I am having still problems with my house and Ex (some of which I have written about), problems with my insurance company, and problems with someone at my job (which I've never written about). Yes, I am aware that the common denominator in all of this is me. I am also aware that I am way too trusting, way too naive, and let people take advantage. And then when I take exception to behavior I find too imposing, the usual reaction is one of surprise and offense. Like because I let people start to take advantage of me, that I am in some way obligated to let them finish.

So, some resolutions for the coming year. Yes, I know, I'm early.

- Financial discipline: Spending will be limited to housing, utilities, food, gasoline, car payment and insurance (and the Serenity DVD if I don't get that for Christmas. A guy can be disciplined and still have standards).

- Tattoo: either decide to get it or acknowledge that it's never going to happen and forget about it.

- Divorce: Finish it. The bit with the insurance company will, with any luck, be done this month, which means I ought to be able to file the divorce papers next.

- New Place: I'm on my 3rd year of being trailer trash. While doing what's necessary at the time is one thing, being lazy, complacent, and depressed are something else altogether, and they have got to go.

There's more but I've not gotten them worded just right yet.
