A year from now...

Here is a list of things I hope to accomplish in a year. Some of this will be unrealistic but I am attempting to get as close as possible:

1. Have a work from home job. Doesn't really matter what it is, so long as it is stable and I don't have to work in the retail industry anymore.
2. Save money. I am really bad at this, and the retail paycheck doesn't really help. I'm thinking the 52 week challenge, but we'll see what happens.
3. Lose weight. This is something everyone puts down as a new years resolution and then promptly never gets around to. I feel I took a step today because I signed up for a guest pass at the local gym and we shall see if it sticks.
4. Do more that makes me happy. This is tricky.  There are a lot of individual things that tend to make me happy: books, the internet, the occasional cell phone game, tv shows....but for some reason I've been in a rut lately (I blame work) and that rut has caused me to not enjoy these things as much anymore. I will go out of my way to participate in these things, and at the end of the day it just doesn't bring me the same level of enjoyment. I think it probably stems from the ever present cloud of stress that follows me around as a side effect of my job/financial situations.


So, if anybody comes across this and has feedback for something I could do for one (or all) of these goals that would be useful, let me know. I need all the help I can get.
