New Year Approaches

16 Mulk 163 B.E. – Thursday, February 22, 2007

I’ve begun setting up my goals spreadsheet for 164 B.E. Naw-Ruz occurs on March 21, so I don’t have very long to decide on the rest of my New Years goals. One is to write a poem every day; I started this on January 1 and have managed to write at least a three-line poem each day. Sometimes this is difficult, but persistence helps. Since I’ve graduated with my masters degree one of the goals is to start my own business and get another part time job.

I have butterflies in my stomach. The very thought of starting a business is exciting. I’m not sure how to go about it, but I can find all the information I need on the internet. Also, I think when I go to the IRS office I’ll ask them about how to go about it. I’ve got to get to all my records from last year and go to their office and find out what I need to do about filing. I didn’t make a lot of money in 2006, most of the year was spent getting the degree, but that over, and a new phase of my life can begin.

I have made an appointment at one of the medical clinic to get some blood work and medication. That is on March 5 at 8:30 a.m. I don’t like needles, I never have liked them. The first time a doctor gave me a shot (this occurred when I was a child) he and my mother had to catch me. It seems the doctor had a pole in his office and I kept running around it. I must have been between three and five. I don’t faint at the sight of needles, it might be better if I did. Although if I fainted I couldn’t give blood. I have over come the fear to an extent, but not all together.
