New year resolutions - 2024 (Being happy at home)

 I have never been much of a person for new year resolutions. However, spending the last couple of weeks at home in a staycation lends it self to a major theme for 2024 - being happy at home:

1) Rediscovering reading: My goal will be to complete reading 12 physical books. I've just opened a goodreads account. I placed my first few book holds in the Seattle Public Library since the pandemic.

2) Keeping a clean apartment: To that respect I will be relying on automation. The mop and vaccums in 1 as well as the IRobot mops

3) Moving away from carbon plated shoes: Carbon plated shoes have effectively resulted in my foot being weaker. I will be looking to get back to running in regular shoes. I will look to have ~10 shoes in my rotation from different brands. As an added advantage these shoes are cheaper since you can get deals in the previous year's brands

4) Attend more Seattle events: Running groups, meetups etc.

5) Invest in plants: I'll look to spend about $300 per year on both indoor and outdoor plants. Clean up the dead plants and plant bulbs and seeds in the empty tubs.
