1. Reasonable Bedtime - March started a movie challenge, featured two comic book conventions, several game nights, Daredevil season 2 and a whole bunch of other busy times. End result: Bedtime slipped to after 2 AM regularly. However... still setting my alarm for 11:30 AM every day, so I'm not sleeping in past noon. Baby steps.
2. Cook More - Last month I added four new recipes (only one of which made the regular rotation), This month I made Korean Beef, Philly Cheesesteak Sliders, Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings and Beef Cutlets with Red Wine Mushroom Gravy for 14. Of those, though, I only really liked the Red Wine Mushroom Gravy Beef and Chicken and Dumplings enough to add to the rotation.
3. No Cancer - Smooth sailing until April, when I get my next CT scan.
4. Halloween Costume
- Dead of Winter (Squad Goals) - I could do the principal (jacket, flashlight, fake blood, the farmer (jacket, shovel, hat, fake blood), the ninja (ski mask, gloves, wallet with chain) but I'd really need two or three partners to pull this off. Ideally someone to dress as the fireman, soldier and/or paramedic to sell the theme.
- Spider Jerusalem (Glasses are $80 (but I'd be half-blind in costume if I was wearing them, since my eyes are so bad), I could find black clothes cheap and easy enough, just need some temporary tattoos or makeup)
- Star Wars - Not sure what, but I know Aaron would love a Stormtrooper outfit - maybe I could find an Imperial officer uniform (yep... $99 or so here.) We may have a winner.
6. Spend More Time With My Kids - Lots of videogames with Aaron, and I took Katy to iFly for her birthday.
7. Stay on budget. I've ordered Better Call Saul, Supergirl, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and Angie Tribeca so far this year. That's 4 of my 12 seasons, which is pretty much on track. I preordered No Man's Sky, and I'm going to order Overwatch, so that's 2 of my 6 videogames.
8. Try New Things. I tried Uber for the first time. Also first time at C2E2.
