I’m still considering my resolutions for the next year. There has to be something I can do to change things around a bit. I should have some goals for my career and some for my social life. But really, am I just setting myself up for disappointment?

Speaking of disappointment, my bathroom should be finished soon. The electrician was in on January 1st. The tile guy is supposed to be in early this week. The painters as well. The sink and fixtures have been delivered to the wrong location, but should be in the local warehouse this week, so the plumber might be able to finish his work later this week. The toilet and washlet are working well. However, everyone who has dealt with contractors knows about delays and the shower door is probably another week out as well.

OK, so my first resolution: don’t worry so much about disappointment and just deal with it. How’s that?

I don’t have a lot of sense to begin with, and even when I’m trying to do something that makes sense, I don’t always do it. It was a co-worker’s 40th birthday party yesterday, and I hung out with his hockey buddies afterwards which, of course, didn’t make any sense at all. We went to two bars and I was in no shape to do anything but walk the 2 miles home. Unfortunately, that took me past another bar where some friends regularly shut the place down. I ended up talking to some older gentlemen I know from the neighborhood as well as everyone else in the bar. I don’t feel so bad right now, but I think that’s because I’m not awake enough to be hung over.

I think I need a keeper or something.

P.S. The Kobe beef burger at Rogue Brewery is worth resetting my no-cheeseburger counter.
