I do not get hung up about New Year’s; I am mostly in bed or at least at home on New Year’s Eve.

This year, rather than living on my own, I’m holed up with my family, which will be a different experience; thankfully, my folks usually are in bed well before midnight. So I’ll be doing the same.

Since my last post, “How low can you go, how low can you go…” I am feeling more positive, not exactly positive, but more positive than I was.

2024 will be a year of positive change. I feel that I can face getting back to the gym, getting back to work, and moving closer to my friends.

I know I need to take this one step at a time, so firstly, I’ll focus on getting a new job; at first, I’ll stay with my family and commute.

Whatever the job I will be applying for roles with hybrid working, no more than two days in the office a week for me thanks! That way I can travel to the office, stay overnight, and then work from my folks for the rest of the week.

Commuting and hybrid working will give me the space and time to build up some cash reserves and people to talk to in the evenings.

Once I’m settled in the job, and have the money to move I will move out from my folks to be near my job. Ideally the new role will be something in a different sector to financial services, its all got a bit unpleasant since brexit, more and more banks ripping off the average joe.

Once I’ve moved, it will be gym time, hopefully with at least one of my mates as a gym buddy. I will need to do a lot of gentle cardio, so a gym with a swimming pool will be ideal.

Come this time next year, I’m hoping to feel somewhat better, more like ‘myself’, a kind, strong, slimmer, kinkier me. Oh, and possibly with a dog.

Until Next Year… have a solipsistic cheese and onion frittata.
