Well seeing as I'll get there first I thought I'd start it off.
I know it could probably be in chitchat, but after avoiding it all until now I'm thinking there's a few things I could be putting down for next year.
Maybe a heads up for the weekly/monthly thread next year.
Ok here goes.
I've been thoroughly ticked by the rostering at work in the new job. Yes, we've got a new manager (today) but I hear tell that the last 3 were crap too. And the rostering itself: I've already had to put in a week ago for anything I want off or on in Febrary to the first week of March. But won't know what I get or don't until two weeks beforehand.
Have been whinging. Have been saying I'll do some shifts in the other wards. Have been saying I'll go casual. So, 6/1/14 I will be emailing antenatal ward and kids ward and asking them how we can notify me of any spare shifts going. They usually txt but I live in a mobile blackspot, so maybe they can email? My contract finishes 8/4/14 and the next roster out will be the last one on my contract. So I'm thinking - get off my fat @cre and get on with getting my foot in two more doors. Get cracking asking how to get notified. Get casual! The worst that can happen? I can have to go and ask for another contract.
One of our horses (hopefully) will be sold shortly. The two oldies seem to be not nearly so spry, so I'm going to call the vet and get it over with in the next 3 weeks. Then I'll only have two horses to cope with, feed, worm, worry over.
Get one of them back into saddle work, with me in the saddle
Get the other into the float! Repeatedly.
Get my first ebook finished and online. Get the 2nd one started.
Start another way of earning money so I can stop having to feel so tied down.
Think about moving.
It's beautiful but extreme weather here. I've loved bringing up the kids here. But some of the people are making it feel less lovely. And I feel like I want to live somewhere easier.
Hard one this one. Places I can afford are few and far between. And to sell one place and have animals in limbo...oh dear. But I want to at least look into it properly.
I want to make time to stay/get in touch with the special people I've met and known.
I want to find some things in life that I want to do in the next stage of my life.
Most of all - I want what I had the other day. A freaking big smile on my face, happiness in my heart, and a feeling that my day had made others happy as well.
So whacha all doing next year?

I'm a great believer that life is what you make it, and if you put little in, how can you expect to take much out? I joined this forum a few months after being made redundant from a very stressful job/career, that I actually thought I thrived on. But, looking back, I suspect it was probably the stress levels that caused my illness a short time later. I certainly believe it was a contributing factor anyway.
