I am... ALIVE!

The past month has been hell. Busy as hell, that is. Working on Anime Jobs, going to Katsucon, a week full of doctors appointments, the snow storm, and my being sick from the waist down, to put it politely... not exactly a walk in the park. Today is the first day in a long while that my schedule isn't hectic, my power is on, I don't feel like crap, I have a working computer, and I'm awake all at the same time!

To cut a long story short, these are the major goals I've accomplished in the month of March:

• I went and got my first pap. They also asked if I wanted to do some free STD tests, so I couldn't refuse. My STD tests all came back negative as I had expected, but I'm waiting for the results of my pap. At 19, I knew it was important for my health to get it done. So that was really a big (painful) step towards living a healthier life.
• I've been speaking with a number of friends to try and get a loan for a laptop. Having no credit in this economy is like having no paddle downstream and someone waving one at you upstream. It's literally impossible for me to get any line of credit for a laptop. Fortunately a friend of mine is ordering a laptop for me with his own money, and I will pay him back every month until it is paid off.
  
• Anime Jobs, LLC is officially established! This will be a partnership between a friend and I. Hopefully it will generate a fair sum of money for the amount of work I've put into it thus far!
  

But really, I'm not interested in looking back. I want to concentrate on doing better today and in the days, weeks, months, and years to come.

I have a few revisions to my current goals before making any new ones.

• First and foremost, the resolution in progress to buy a laptop will change to paying back the full sum of the laptop.
• Also, the mini resolution to develop normal sleeping habits will probably change a little bit as soon as the weather gets warmer. My apartment gets hot as hell when it warms up outside, and I can't afford to put on the air all the time. I'm thinking my best bet will be to sleep during the day while it's hot and work while its dark and/or cool out (ideally from 6PM to 11-12AM).

As for new goals, I have a few additional mini-resolutions including

• Keep accurate records of business expenses
• Drink 8 cups of water per day.
• Work 10 billable hours per week.

Well that's it for this blog entry. Took me the whole day to write the damn thing. Tomorrow I really need to write an entry about things I need to do on a daily basis (ie: Joe's Goals, etc.)
