I am certain many people were hoping for 2021 to be much better than 2020. Unfortunately, for many people, it was more like 2020-2: Electric Boogaloo. Though vaccinations came and most of us will have gotten double-vaccinated or even triple-vaccinated, variants beat up on their effectiveness. Fortunately, there still does seem to be a light around the tunnel, in that the severity of cases has curtailed even as overall cases go down.
So, what are your resolutions for the next year?
Looking at my resolutions from the NY2021 topic...
1. Purchase a house - Success! I haven't moved in yet, but will in a few months.
2. Increase my net worth by a specific amount - Success! Though I won't get into the particulars of the exact amount, I'm very happy with how I made out last year
3. Lose a decent amount of weight - Success! I lost about 55lbs last year.
4. Continue to reduce my gaming and reading backlog - Success! Sort of. I knocked out 20 games last year, many of them being 50hr+ or even 100hr+ epics, but of course I still buy games, so I need to keep working away at it. My reading backlog I didn't fare out with as well, even though I made a little bit of headway.
5. Actually write some more. - Complete Failure. I didn't publish a single word in 2021.
My 2022 resolutions, in no particular order:
1. Travel. In the last 22 months since I moved literally three weeks before the pandemic broke out, I have travelled only twice, driving 400km to the big city. One was to write a government exam since in true government bureaucracy, I couldn't write closer to home. The other was to watch a pro sports football game and some general shopping. I would like to actually be able to go somewhere this year, and the reason I haven't before is not for a lack of money!
2. Increase my networth again.
3. Lose more weight again. At the rate I'm going, I think by early to mid 2023 I will finally be at an ideal weight. It took me 10 years to put on lots of weight, so thankfully it shouldn't take as long to get it all off!
4. Get a significant other. This might be the hardest thing for a lot of us here! My self-esteem is directly correlated with my weight, though, so I'm certainly a lot more comfortable with putting myself out there now than this time last year.
5. Actually really legitimately write and publish something this year.
6. Get some more into baking and cooking. I very rarely buy from restaurants, but I still do purchase more processed foods than I care to admit, even if I still also eat lots of healthier stuff. I'd like to start making some more stuff right from scratch. Once I move into my house, I should have a lot more room for tools and counter space to do so.

Actually, I'm just of the general opinion that there is not a woman on the face of the planet that would put up with me....
