Today is "No Housework Day." Tell us: What's your least favorite chore around the house?

What keeps you up at night?

Two things lately:

1. Stats homework. I did poorly on my first lab of the semester resulting in the need to revise and turn it back in. I admit, I did a half ass job on it, even to the point of having incomplete sentences.  Seriously, I just stopped writing in the middle of a thought, so I'm not shocked by having to redo it. Actually, I'm shocked that the professor is allowing me a rewrite. However, it has shaken my confidence so each time I approach this next lab (due Wednesday), I'm frozen with fear. I go to sleep with linear regression on my mind and wake often during the night fretting about completing the assignment in time.

2. Work. Too many child protection reports, drugs, deaths, and nurses with bad boundaries.

What's your New Year's resolution for 2009? How did you do with 2008's?

I already recapped 2008s resolutions, but for 2009 I resolve to do the following:

1. Continue to reduce the clutter--by adding bookshelves, donating stuff, and throwing crap away.
2. Improve my relationships with Ben, Jaycie, and Maxwell--by going to breakfast, lunch, dinner, or coffee/cocoa once a month to have some 1:1 time.
3. Improve my ability to handle stress--by using the centering techniques I already know and possibly learning some new ways to center myself when I am overwhelmed.
4. Read 40 books. Specifically, I want to read the following this year: Infinite Jest, Choke, The Satanic Verses, and all the Philip Roth I haven't read yet. the Philip Roth books Jodi recommends.

When do you take down your holiday decorations?

Yesterday--December 26th. I love having them up while there are reasons to celebrate, but once the presents are gone the tree and decorations go too.
