Come Next Monday

I really will be in San Antonio.  Mr. L asked me to hang around a few extra days while he finished the newsletter, so we're leaving Sunday instead of Friday.

I'm practicing implementing the results of my Best Year Ever work.  I set me weekly review for Friday evening in preparation for putting this post together. I used my areas of focus here to shape my goals. I have eight: Health, writing (2), property, relationship, spiritual, internet responsibility, an financial. They are specific Not sure if I'll share them here or not.  I can easily share the writing goals. Publish Polar Bear on the Loose on or before August 4, 2015 and revise Twilight (including finding it a new name) using How To Revise Your Novel with a goal of completing one lesson a month (there are 22 lessons in the course, so this goal will extend beyond 2015).

I've scheduled projects, check points, and recurring tasks into Things and I'm working those -- revising as needed to be ready for the new year, but I think I have things set the way I want them.  While I thought the course was a little more expensive than I would have liked, and I generally knew everything it presented, it was organized into a nice framework. The forums even helped me figure out one of my goals wasn't really the goal (although I didn't tell them that -- I thanked them for their input and said it was helpful, because it was).

I've mentioned elsewhere that my doctor recommended I see orthopedics about my knee.  He thinks it may be time for a total knee replacement.  The steroid injection he gave me yesterday already has the knee feeling and working better. I've set up an appointment at the VA to ask for a referral to orthopedics to begin the process.  If I'm not comfortable with them, I'll return to my doctor and work through the clinic.  Beside confidence in the staff, the only other difference is cost to me.  Via the VA, there will be no cost to me.  Via my clinic, I could incur up to $3000 in costs (TRICARE's catastrophic cap).  Confidence in the team is the more important thing to me.  If I'm not comfortable with the VA team, I'll investigate my primary care team. I expect I'll be comfortable with the VA team, but I won't know until I get in to see them.

Our local high school football team won the state championship for the third year in a row.

The Air is set up to fill in the gap while the MacBook Pro is in for repairs.  I appear to still be procrastinating on the A-Z files, but I did get preparatory work done for Polar Bear on the Loose and Twilight next steps.

The Week Ahead:
  • Yard work in San Antonio
  • I have some classwork to do for PLF
  • I have three writing projects (PBOTL, Twilight, and A-Z reconfiguration) -- I need to make regular progress on all three.
  • Get the MacBook Pro in for the memory repair.
Merry Christmas, everyone. It'll be a quiet day at our place.
