Get a new psychiatrist because this one is incompetent.<br />RESULT; FAIL. COVID prevented any psychiatrist in my area from seeing new patients, especially those who were already on meds. I'm still stuck with the incompetent one.<br /><br />2. Attend LCK again (hopefully with boyfriend in tow)<br />RESULT: FAIL, but this one wasn't my fault because they didn't have it.<br /><br />3. Go to San Francisco for some Kerouac-related sight-seeing<br />RESULT: FAIL because of COVID.<br /><br />4. Actually get out of the apartment and see people and do things despite my stupid depression.<br />RESULT (hysterical laughter) Um...FAIL.<br /><br />Okay, that was depressing, so here are my Kerouac-olutions for 2010:<br /><br />1-4 All of the previous ones.<br />5. Visit Karl (HS friend) at least twice<br />6. Finish writing project<br />7. Attend more professional development activities/workshops, on Zoom or otherwise<br />8. Continue to be COVID-free.<br />9. Get back into yoga, possibly lose weight.<br />10. Find at least 90 minutes a day to just WRITE and nothing else.<br /><br />We'll see how Rick and I do next year! Happy New Year, fellow Kerouacians!<br />Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250532957588450371noreply@blogger.com
