Things in my head have not been great recently and I just have not been in a blogging kind of mood.

I have been feeling overwhelmed, what with all the job hunting and the lack of disposable money. We have been running a very very tight ship for the last wee while and have not been managing very well.

Right now,  we need to look into how we are doing things and what we need to change in order to move forward again – because right now, we are feeling stuck in oh so many ways.

So I compiled a little list with some explanation on what I would like to do (the Lassie will probably want to write her own).

Return to the Gym: Honestly, I was doing really well last time I was there. I think I went three months without any real issue and also no desire not to go. It was only when they told me that I could not quit my contract (so I could go to a closer gym) and the fact that I saw a drug deal going on that made me stop going. I will return to McEvil for now, only because I am still paying and I really need to go back again. I should not have stopped in the first place.

Portion Control: We eat too much and I am not talking about just sweets. Everything is way too much for us and at least I keep shoveling it down. In order for number one on my list to work, I need to better my eating habits!

Family Time: I need to break away sometimes from the work and the crap going on in our lives and spend more time with my wife and child. It’s so important, I can’t really say anything more on it…Just has to be done.

Learn PHP and MySQL: If you don’t know, MySQL is a server database system more commonly used for websites and PHP is a website programming language. While looking for new work, it seemed to pop up now and again, when potential employers were interested in my site making skills. Also, at work we use this all the time, so it is only wise for me to learn this. Alas, classes are expensive for someone out of permanent education, so I will have to resort to self teaching. Yes, it wont’ be a formal qualification, but at least I can say I know it and if I want to get a certificate, then it will be easy to get.

Set up a <my own name>.com Website: This will mold into number 4, as I will use it to learn. But the main idea is to make a CV website for myself. It will contain my CV and other project related material that should give a potential employer the best possible idea of who I am and what I want to do.

Get Organised: I have a Filofax, but I never use it. I need to start that up again and get myself back on track with the goings on in the world. So I need to update it and carry the freaking thing around with me!

Learn Jedi Mind Trick: You are not reading this list…Did it work??? Send me all your money…

Improve my German: I live in Berlin and can barely get by, so of course this should be there.

Continue to learn and improve my Photography, maybe even write a Book: Yeah, I have been thinking about “writing” a photography book about Berlin for a while now. We will see what happens with that.

Lastly, on a photography note, Sort out all our 14000 Pictures: You know, I wish I was joking about the amount of images we own. But no, in fact that is the amount (rounded down).

So I got to 10 items for now. Let’s see how I get on!
