Goals: Past and Present, Failures and Successes

I have been hungry all day long and eating all day long. This is not a great way to start off the year. Right now, a seasoned pork loin with four new potatoes is in the oven. Blackeyed peas are done in the crockpot. A third of a baked potato is reheating for Tommy. The new potatoes are so tiny, about 1 1/4 inch across. The baked potato was so huge that Tommy has an overly generous portion and another two helpings left of the baked potato.

Fr lunch we had turkey sandwiches with leaf lettuce. Unfortunately, we had a cupcake apiece, mine with milk. A nap attacked me. Wonder why?

We stayed home all day with no desire to do anything.

Only one of last year's goals was accomplished--I lost weight in 2019. Because of the car wreck that totaled my car in 2018, I accomplished none of my goals. I cannot say what they were because they are gifts and people might read this.

As for 2020 goals, those have not been finalized.

In 2019 I started learning to paint with watercolors. My first masterpiece is in the dump along with my pad of watercolor paper I purchased and the paints and brush a blogger friend sent me. My first project was a picture of Fancy. She was my favorite chicken who died a tragic death that threw me into a depression. The depression did not last long. Now, I have to acquire more supplies and start over.

It seems I have to start over on a lot of things this year. AND, NO, I cannot share my plans since people want to tell me what to do and get upset when I don't.


My problem with swollen legs and feet needs immediate attention. So, I have appointments for tests. I also need a broken tooth extracted under anesthesia and a new one installed, a process that will take months. I was hoping for just a crown, but that is not possible.

The program that supplies me with raised beds, seeds, all supplies for a garden is happening again. So, that is a plus and a new goal. I got into the program last spring, but I had to wait my turn, a turn that has now arrived. Of course, now the doctor has curbed my intake of fiber, so this will be interesting.

Tommy got all upset that I was going to dig up his backyard. He has only seen me grow in pots, so I am puzzled as to why he things I would start digging anything now! He has a miniscule patio that he has never used since he moved here. That is where the raised beds will be.

Okay, a very present goal tonight is getting a fitted sheet on the bed. Or not.

Happy New Year!
