I've decided that I need to try to be a bit less of a slob. I'm semi-arbitrarily setting myself the following goals for between now and Sakuracon, which is the 1st weekend in April. That's a good time to be less of a slob by because:
- I'm going to see Sean and some other people I don't see very often
- I might meet some people from the LJ cosplay community for the first time
- Assuming I'm in costume, I'll probably get my picture taken by at least one total stranger
- I'll probably end up helping people move, so it would be good if I didn't get too winded doing it
Thus, between now and then I will try to:
- Ride my bike at least 3 times a week, hopefully every day
- Locate a tank top or other sleeveless shirt and spend an hour outside in it a day so that my arms will lose their lack-of-sun rash
- Wash my face every day
- Floss every day, even when I am tired
- Figure out something to make my hair less scraggly (this may involve getting a trim for the first time since 10th grade)
- Do some sort of upper body workout at least 3 times a week, in hopes that I won't embarrass myself trying to carry stuff
- Include some sort of vegetable with dinner. This is more of a general and long-term goal, but it might as well get put here too.
- Eat fruit or vegetable based rather than bread and cheese based snacks (another general goal)
- Determine which of my sweaters have stains and remove either the stains or the sweaters
- Walk up and down the stairs when I'm bored or restless
- Learn how to iron, and use this skill to get the wax off of all of my nice tops and my 4th pair of jeans (and off the kitchen floor, while I'm at it)
- Find my 3rd bra, which is probably in a box in the garage and hopefully is in better shape
- Assess my underwear, discard the pairs with lots of holes and buy more until I have 2 weeks worth
- Learn to darn and then fix my socks
There are probably more things I should do, and some of these really have nothing to do with Sakuracon, but that's probably enough to work on
