"A little more and I'll fall off the planet entirely..."

Why, hello 2007!
In the usual fashion, I figured I should write out some new year's resolutions...even though I know I am probably going to fall back into my old habits before too long...
*Drink less caffeine
*Drink more water
*Work out more regularly
*Be more organized
*Read more
*Eat more healthy
*Drink less alcohol
So yeah, I know that most likely sooner than later I will go back to my seasoned, unhealthy ways...but I figure it is worth a shot...I didn't resolve to do anything too extreme or unmanageable...so we shall see...
The holidays have come and gone...I still can't believe how fast time flew by last year...I think working in the "quarter calendar" really makes time speed up...Especially because everything is planned out three months in advance...I already have my project schedule mostly assessed through March 31st...which kinda freaks me out...
I clearly think too much...(and anymore thinking and I may just disappear all together...hence the title of the blog, taken from a song...)
SO...this is my year to get my shit together...I am going to get what I want out of my career and learn to enjoy more of the little things in life...
I loved going up to SF for New Year's...I love my friends and it is always good to have some time to spend with them - especially since it seems as though that time gets to be fewer and further between...
...and I am completely enamoured with the city of San Francisco...One day...
It's strange...for the last three weeks I have been wanting to blog...I thought I had all these great topics to write about...but when I am faced with the blank screen and the blinking cursor, I realize I have nothing interesting to say...at all...which in an odd way makes me realize that one of the things I once loved to do more than anything really doesn't do it for me anymore...I need to find my writing again...I need to add that to the list of things I am going to tackle this year...
My grandpa starts his radiation therapy in the coming weeks...I am going to try to help him out with that...my grandma has her knee replacement surgery in three weeks, so it should be chaos down there when all this happens at the same time...Being with them and assessing their situations really inspires me to do something in medicine...I really want to help people...and I am fascinated with medicine and the body...but I know I could never be a doctor...and I probably don't have what it takes to go to nursing school either...so I guess I am never gonna do it...but part of me thinks it would be a rewarding field to get into...perhaps I could become a medical social worker...I dunno...For now I will just stick to trying to get my charitable organization under way...I am working on a business plan to put together a cancer group...I really want to get a group of people together to volunteer to do stuff for cancer patients...either patients in the hospital, in hospice, or just at home and going through treatments...I don't have all the details worked out, but I know it is something at the very least I want to do...
Besides all my lofty ambitions, career confusion, and daydreaming schemes, things are going really well...
