Well here I am staring down the start of a new year. I am a bit intimidated by it all. In just under 10 days, Andy will be gone for the duration of the year. That means I am stuck with handling everything with the new house, taxes, my job, the cars, shoot everything. One would think that I managed pretty darn well on my own while in graduate school. This should be a snap. Somehow, being out in Kansas, over 700 miles away from any sort of relations, seems so much more difficult.
I plan on sending lots of packages and hoping that family and relatives will send some too. I am excited to use Google's talk feature - hurray for video-conferencing. For right now, I know that most of his battle will be against the dreaded paperwork, but still I am frightened.
As for my expectations for myself for this year, the big one is to try not to be too much of a workaholic, get my exercise on, do some more knitting, and possibly try some new recipes (although with only 1 person in the house not sure how often that will be). I would like to explore more of Kansas as well but I would need to do all the driving myself :oP. Lastly, I hope that we can manage to sock away some money this year - I don't need much in way of food and shouldn't be doing too much shopping, although every now and again I get the urge.
That is about it. Not totally gung-ho about the new year but now super depressed either.
