My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we'll seek out a fruit or vegetable we've never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?

365 days streak in duolingo. You can do a single lesson in about three minutes and it will extend the streak

Got a new nano tank (aquarium) with co2 injection. I want it to look really nice and raise potential baby fish.

Not to make new year resolutions.

As that's failed, I have ticked the resolutions off the list and can do what I like, play more bass guitar and/or regular guitar, but that has to wait until I had my surgery. Nomclue when that'll be, but the hospital indicated Q1.

I don't make new years resolutions myself, but I just had to say your profile pic gave me a little giggle, thanks
(also really like the new veg of the month idea!)

In the realm of low-stakes New Year's resolutions, I've decided to approach things like a turtle: slow, steady, and deliberate.

One of my goals is to read a few pages before bed each night, embracing the tranquility of the night like a ghostly whisper weaving through the pages.

Another resolution involves culinary adventures—I plan to try a new recipe every month, daring my taste buds to dance to flavors they've yet to meet, maybe even conjuring a dish that turns a stinky apple into a delicious surprise. And to inject some movement into my work-from-home routine, I aim to take short walks during breaks, not as a sprint but as a turtle's amble, allowing myself to soak in the world outside my screen.

These resolutions are gentle nudges toward a better self without the weight of undue pressure.

Sounds dumb, but eat more soup. Like miso soup with veggies and an egg, for example. Low calorie but filling and tasty. Trying to skip the noodles and rice with this one. Might add beans or quinoa if it isn't filling enough

I want to create Polish-Russian language exchange group on Discord.

Also I want to start learning another language, probably Italian, Turkish or Latin.

Two honestly. They're both kinda big picture, but both are fun and easy and low stakes.

  1. Slow down, settle, nest. 2023 was a wild year filled with change. I got a job that became the focal point of my life, and then I got promoted. That job came with more friends and connections than I've ever had. It has been a very full, sometimes overwhelming year. 2024 is going to be my Convenience Store Woman year. I'm gonna settle into my management position, get good at it, and turn this dispensary into a beautiful weed distribution machine.

  2. I'm gonna keep trying for a second romantic partner. It's gonna be fun because flirting is fun. And the stakes are low because I already have a fantastic, stable relationship with my wife. Failure means continuing the happy life I'm living now. I'll just keep trying to get the attention of boys with good hair.

2024 is gonna be good, but easier than 2023 plz

Low stakes would be getting back into a study routine, I want to improve my Norwegian. I'm quite proficient but plateaued at some point and stopped putting any effort in.

Improve my Spanish. It's low stakes because I was going to be doing it anyway, but this makes it a formal goal :)
