I’ve managed to wait until the end of January to recap the previous year. Either my laziness has gone up, or the amount of free time I have has gone down. Pretty sure it’s the former.
What happened in 2014:
- Wrote 14 blog posts (same as 14 in 2013).
- Wrote 8 short stories (up 33% from 6 in 2013).
- Read 38 books (up 238% from 16 in 2013). Favorites: The Goldfinch, The Orphan Master’s Son, The Picture of Dorian Grey. Least favorites: Eat, Pray, Love; Little Women.
- Took 2814 pictures that I kept on my computer (down 31% from 4106 in 2013). I didn’t leave the country in 2014, so maybe that’s why.
- Baked at least 54 items (up 10% from 49 in 2013).
- Lost $104 playing poker (compared to losing $1344 in 2013). Well, at least I cut my losses by 92%!
- Lost $1620 through other forms of gambling (compared to losing $61 in 2013). OK so it’s probably bad that my losses went up by over 25X, but I was playing a lot of video poker to get casino status, which let me stay in Vegas a couple of times for much cheaper. Was it worth it? Maybe…
Well, I suppose my life hasn’t changed too much in the past year. Still in the same house. Still have the same job. But I’m still in fairly good health, which I am very thankful for.
