Things I need to accomplish:

1 Renew Passport
2 Get dog to vet for shots / microchip / EU Pet Passport
3 Pack all worldly belongings into boxes (many boxes)
4 Find place to store all worldly belongings
5 Sell apartment (make huge profit to finance this folly)
6 Find place to stay in Portugal
7 Buy airline ticket for myself and the dog
8 Fly away to new adventure
9 Write great Canadian novel (or Harlequin Romance)
10 Have it picked up by Oprah and/or Ellen (book club or life story)
11 Rest on my laurels

Why, when I write this list does it seem so achievable? Yet, when I sit down with the forms to accomplish the first item I can’t seem to finish the task. I can watch a lot of really bad TV in an effort fill my time.

What if I go a whole year without TV and I don’t miss it?

It seems a little like breaking up with that boy. You know, the boy you know you don’t truly love, but he makes you laugh and keeps you company in bed. So. you stay with him because when you make yourself laugh people look at you oddly on the bus, and if you let the dog keep you company in bed you will end up with sand in your sheets.
