This year could/should actually be quite significant for me. We really want to leave Cyprus before the end of the year, whether or not I get one of the postdoc research jobs I'm applying for, so if not I have to make freelancing work, or get a teaching job somewhere. The wife's also at a similar make or break point with her research work. So by the end of the year it will have all started to pay off or we'll have to reassess what we're doing and come up with a new plan. -
Job wise, our owner has been bought for big bucks and we don’t quite know what’s happening. So... well... I don’t have any plans per se but might be forced to make plans sometime Q1 or Q2 depending on what happens with our firm/dept.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.

Saving hard for a house this year.
Financially, me and the mrs are in the best position we have ever been in now that we both work... and I'm doing extra freelance work in the evenings to boost the pot. Its taken a long time to get where we are but fingers crossed we can maintain it... and then of course find a decent place to buy. -
Hoping the littlest gets into a decent primary.
Hoping our house sells.
Hoping Newcastle don't go down.
Maybe we'll even move house again. -

Learned I have diabetes on Xmas eve, sugar levels should be 43 or lower and mine is 86.
Blood pressure so high they tried both arms 3 times each, 98 being lowest and 152 for 3 others.
Could be the worst year ever for me as there's a possibility that liverscum could win league and I could die the very next day! -
Ooof, that’s quite a thing to learn on Xmas Eve!
Good news is that these things are manageable now and the risks of dying from them once you know they exist is easily lowered through careful management and lifestyle adjustments.
You’ll live another yearNot everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff. -
My doctor said, don't forget, complex carbs (bread, pasta etc) break down to sugar too. Cut down on them too.

My best mate got diagnosed with type 2 two years ago. He said it was a complete shock.
I reminded him he drank 2 litres of cherry coke a day with a whole pack of tangfastics with every lunch.

This is the hard part I eat cheaply and I'm a very fussy eater. -
The answer is not to eat. Fast more often and for longer.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.

Cherry coke is fucking rank and I’m judging you hard for drinking it.

It's like once a month if that. To be honest the sugar and caffeine is enough to knock me sideways as I rarely have any other sources of it
Aspirations for 2019
Create a half decent website to showcase work as a virtual CV
Use that to aim at higher value contracts
Create blog/vlog with stream of consciousness rants for amusement value
Drink a fuck tonne less
Smoke a fuck tonne less
Build an adult cabin bed (oxymoron I know)
Move into an adult home (would negate need for cabin bed as more space)"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B -
Our visa ends at the end of this year, so we'll need to decide if we're gonna stay in the US for longer.
I need to get back to learning vfx again, if there's a chance I need to find a job next year I better have something prepared. It's just it can be frustrating to learn if you've been struggling with something and then your partner comes home and says "oh you just need to chance this" and you still don't understand what went wrong and everyone around you knows better and you'll never catch up. Why bother.
Also need to get back to exercising. Gave up earlier last year as it just didn't feel right anymore. I was struggling with everything and always tired. Already prepared a new exercise program with mostly things that I'll enjoy. Quit the gym as I hated the atmosphere there (full of veterans and bored housewives) and will use the limited gym near our apartment and some outdoor gym equipment next to a lake where I often go for a hike. Just need to find a way to block the bored veterans and housewives that are running/walking there.
Maybe go for dance lessons. I've started to realize how tense my body is the whole day and learning more fluid movements might help me relax in the long term. Not sure about this one and will be a longer term thing than the previous two.
Those are my 3 big ones. Other includes getting more vegetarian dishes into the weekly menu, see more movies and listen to more (live) music.
Howdy, Stranger!
