Goals

I thought I should kick this thing off with a list of things I want to achieve sometime this year. Makes me feel optimistic and all. Awww, warm and fuzzy. I'll start with the big things and then break them down into smaller achievements. How methodic of me.

The big thing I want is for a freaking holiday. I haven't had one in a while. The plan is that once I am mobile and walking and all that stuff, me and the family are going to some tropical resort place. Maybe Cairns, the Whitsundays, Broome even. Some place up north and fairly warm weather. When we usually go on holidays, we travel to a central location and then organise little day trips for the rest of the holidays. So our holiday times are usually quite hectic and busy. But not this time. This time, we intend to sit by a pool or on the beach and just watch the day go by ever so slowly. An then get magotted at night time at the resort's many bars. I intend on spending a pile load of cash on this trip as well and do as many activities as possible. A fishing charter, that parasailing thing where they tow you behind a boat and you wear a parachute. That looks like fun. We will eat at just restauarants and not have to worry about preparing our own food. Oh and I'll bring many a book to make me feel like I'm at least a little bit literate.

Of course to get to this, I have to become mobile. I have to be able to walk. This is the next step. At the moment, I am slowly getting movement back into my legs, but I'm still learning how to sit up on the side of the bed. Even then, I need mum and dads help to sit me up and keep me in the seated position. So before I get to being able to stand up and walk, I have to be able to sit up in bed by myself. I will then have to build my strength up even more so I can lift myself from a seated position to a standing position. How long will this all take is anybodys guess. I'm hoping that in a couple of months time I can go back to this entry and cross this paragraph out and say I can now stand up, but I don't really know how long it will take.

Since I have got another year of no uni (had to defer again), and probably no job (who would hire me in such a state?) I'm going to have to find some things to occupy myself for the year. Im thinking of taking up kayaking or something for that reason. So again, once Im mobile and I can get up and around the place, I think I shall be investing in some kind of kayak or something that I can paddle around on a lake. Oh, and do lots of fishing.

These are just some of my goals and ambitions of things I want to achieve this year. Here's hoping I get a break and some of them come my way. Mainly the holiday please.
