Day 8: 5 Current Goals

Before I get to today's challenge, I got word today that I could be in PNG as early as mid September. That's 4 weeks away!! Having said that, I think it's an optimistic target. Visa processing is notoriously slow, and there's so much to organise in such a short space of time. And, given that I am yet to see my employment contract....wow, my head is spinning with stuff to organise.

Anyway, today's blog challenge is 5 Current Goals. Is it sad that I don't think I have 5 goals? Hmm, lets see what I can pull from the top of my head:

1. Raise healthy, well adjusted kids
2. Retire before I'm 55
3. Become a property investor
4. Survive moving to a foreign country
5. Survive living in one of 'least liveable cities in the world'

Til next time....

Day 7: 5 Favourite Songs

Wow, I've made it to day 7. A whole week of blogging! I am very proud of myself.

Today's challenge is my 5 favourite songs. The biggest challenge is I have lots of favourite songs, and don't really have a 'Top 5'. But here's a list of 5 songs that I can think of off the top of my head that I really love:

1. Don't Forget Me by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
2. Cornflake Girl by Tori Amos
3. Lady Madonna by The Beatles
4. Next Girl by The Black Keys
5. Rolling in the Deep by Adele

I really could have easily created a Top 50, but I really don't have the inclination to do so, and no one really wants to read a list that contains 50 items.
My list is a bit of a mix, and I hope that at least one of the songs listed makes you smile and think "Yeah, I really love that song".

Til next time.......

Day 6: What am I afraid of?

After feeling down in the dumps yesterday, I am feeling much better. So lets get cracking on today's blog challenge: my fears.

Spiders
Spiders give me the heebie jeebies, although I'm getting better as I get older. Small ones are fine, and I can cope with big hairy huntsman's high on my wall, provided they don't move, and are nowhere near my bedroom. However, if they move, they're dead.

Confined space
I can cope with elevators and other small spaces with out any issue. I'm talking about really squishy spaces, like crawling through squeeze holes in cave. My heart is beating faster just thinking about it. It's not the space, so much as the fear of being stuck that freaks me out.

My kids safety
Nothing frightens a parent more than a threat to their child. Hell hath no fury like a mumma protecting her babies!

Making the wrong choice
This one is tied to my depression. I can tell when I'm really down because I cant make simple decisions like where to meet someone for coffee, or what to make for dinner. I'm so worried about making the wrong decision that I just cant make one. It only affects decisions that affect other people. It's almost a fear of upsetting someone.

So there you have it, day 6 of 30! That's one fifth of the way through. Tomorrow's blog: My 5 favourite songs.
