The Promises I Made (2023)

Oh man. Oh man.

At the end of last year, I said that I had really struggled through 2022 and hoped that 2023 would be an easier year, but also that I didn't want to count any chickens. Which was... ultimately the right mindset to have, because 2023 was even worse for me than 2022. Between the stressors of work, money, and things just falling apart on me left and right (car is still in need of $3000 worth of work...), I couldn't be more glad that 2023 is over.

Consequently, it was a very bad year for promises. Possibly the worst year I've ever had since I started, actually. Oof, icing on the cake after all the disappointment I dealt with this year.

Still, a tradition is a tradition. Here are the promises I made for this last year!

2023 Promises

1) Work on the Texas house yard. It’s still never really recovered from the frost that killed everything in 2021 and it looks pretty shabby right now.

Status: Broken, mostly. I did have the gardener come and do a lot of trimming as well as take out one dead tree, but still, one dead tree remains, and the tree in the backyard has grown roots so big now that they've exposed a underground wire, so uhhhh... gonna have to deal with that this year...

2) Get both bedroom floors sanded in the Utah house upstairs.

Status: Broken. This just didn't happen. No money. But it really, really needs to happen soon though... Oof...

3) Get the Utah house sprinklers up and working ALL the way for this summer.

Status: Broken. This is the hardest promise on this list, I swear to god. This city in Utah has NO ONE who is willing to work on normal residential sprinklers. Please someone save me.

4) Actually get the back fence fixed up and the greenery back there trimmed and managed.

Status: Broken. Well, one day...

4) Put a new sink/vanity in the downstairs bathroom of the Utah house.

Status: Broken. I sure... made a lot of promises about the Utah house, didn't I... Where did I think all this money would come from...

5) Related to that, lose at least 20 pounds. 2020-2022 was not kind to me and the stress eating was real.

Status: Broken. I didn't gain weight this year but I didn't lose any either. RIP.

6) Take my mom on a road trip to one of the U.S. states that she has not been to before.

Status: Broken. I was busy all summer and we just didn't do this.

7) Get back in touch with the allergy specialist to continue working on my allergy/inflammation issues.

Status: Broken. Yikes, seven in a row without a single kept promise. Anyway, I did want to do this, but again, the surgery they want me to have will take all my insurance and then $2000 out of pocket. It's just... not going to happen...

8) Go through my closets and donate or throw away clothes that I know I will not wear.

Status: KEPT. Oh my god, one I actually did. I ended up donating SO MANY shirts to Goodwill.

9) Finish at least five books this year.

Status: Broken. I finished two I believe. But... maybe the 50+ 100k word fanfics I read this year could count instead?

10) Organize my documents (especially student papers)—my desktop and documents folders give me nightmares just looking at them.

Status: Broken. Jesus, why am I so allergic to this promise? I think it's been on the list for like three years running now.

11) Help Kacchan through her first semester as a teacher! Exciting!!

Status: According to Kacchan herself, this promise has been kept. Go me.

12) Get a decent paper shredder to shred old mail.

Status: Kept! I finally got a shredder!!

13) Clean off my back patio/car port area so I can park my car there again.

Status: Broken. Literally there's not that much stuff out there other than my coworker's old bikes she dumped on me. Why have I not done this...

14) Get the Texas house dishwasher fixed… I’m so tired of washing dishes by hand… How do people do this, oof.

Status: Kept! I got a newwww dishwasherrrrrr. I am so happy...

15) 100% complete FF16 babyyyyy!!

Status: Broken. I played it, but did not 100%. Too busy. TvT

16) Talk to an HR rep about my retirement savings so that I can consolidate my retirement accounts. I have been putting this off for like five years now.

Status: Broken. I think this has been on the list for years too. And given the current uncertainty of my workplace, I honestly think at this point I might be better off not asking anyone who works there for any financial advice...

17) Do at least one artwork to actually use that new paint program I bought.

Status: Broken. Well, I THOUGHT about it. Does that count?

18) Pay my credit debt down by at least $2000. I’m still paying off the hell year but I hope I can make progress on this.

Status: Broken. The hell year of last year became Hell Year 2.0, Economic Boogaloo this year. So many things went wrong and had to be paid for. My wallet is C R Y I N G.

19) Finish making changes to master courses. No more major revisions!

Status: You know what, I'm going to count this as kept, because we're now down to the really specific courses that only one or two professors teach. So, close enough!!

20) See a zone-tailed hawk. This is another rare-but-possible bird for my area.

Status: Kept! Conveniently, one flew over my car one day?? I got only a terrible cellphone photo, but I did see it. Yay!

21) Attend the FFXIV Fanfest in Las Vegas!

Status: Broken. I tried!! But I did not win the lottery for a ticket, so I was not able to go. This one was pretty much out of my hands, though.

22) Update HaaH at least once. Please, Echo???

Status: ...I'm sorry, forgive meeee. OTL

23) Get the small leak fixed in the side bathroom of the Texas house and have the faucets replaced.

Status: Plumbers are... so expensive... Broken.

24) Look into the cost of light housekeeping services to give myself a little more time to do things that aren’t work.

Status: Technically kept... in that I did look into the costs... But ultimately, I chickened out of contacting anyone. I don't know why, but I feel like even if I got a housekeeper, I would be so embarrassed by my house being messy, I would frantically clean it the day before the housekeeper arrived anyway...

25) Catch up with hanging up all the charms/pins I’ve gotten recently on my corkboards; these are just sitting in boxes/bags around the house. D;

Status: Broken. My god, I thought about doing this so many times this year but I just never did it... I even both MORE charms and then didn't hang them.

26) Use Spotify more often or cancel my Spotify Premium subscription; it’s not worth it if I don’t use it.

Status: Kept. I cancelled it when they decided to raise the price. Cancelled Amazon Prime and Netflix this year too. Honestly way too tired of companies raising the prices of subscription services while offering LESS quality than in prior years.

27) Get an art display book to preserve my great grandfather’s artworks.

Status: Kept. They are safeeeee now.

28) Fix the screens on the Texas house.

Status: Broken. Probably for the best I didn't do this though, since the dog developed a habit of scratching at the office WINDOW to be let back into the house...

29) Bird watch at a specific location in Texas. It’s my secret where since I’d rather not share my specific location on social media, but let’s hope I can finally make it to this place!

Status: Kept. I didn't see many birds there though, RIP.

30) Finally get rid of the dirt pile in the front of the Utah house.

Status: Broken. I feel like the dirt pile is getting smaller and smaller over time as erosion takes its natural course, but I didn't really do anything to decrease the pile this year.

31) Sign NeNe (my puppy) up for the intermediate dog training course.

Status: Broken. I thought about this several times, but decided not to in the end. I wasn't massively impressed by the trainer she had for her puppy class, and honestly she's pretty decent at learning things at home anyway.

32) This is super nerdy, but my bro got me the FFXIV cookbook and made me promise to actually use it, so I guess I’d better at least try to make something from it.

Status: Broken. I keep making this promise and continually forget it, over and over.

33) Take down the remains of the wooden fence posts at the Utah house.

Status: Broken. This one I could have done and just... did not do. I'm pretty useless.

34) Take part in the fitness challenge at work this coming semester.

Status: Broken. To be fair to me though, in August I fractured my pelvis and basically couldn't do anything past basic walking all the way until December so I kind of have a semi-reasonable excuse for this one.

35) I will remember to take my medicine on time, all the time. Taking them late is messing things up quite a bit.

Status: Mostly kept. There was a night or two where I did forget, but since I literally require this medicine to live, I can basically immediately tell when I need to take it again, so most nights I do take it on time.

36) Get a stand for the toaster oven in the break room so we can finally use it!

Status: I'm going to count this as kept even though we did not get a new stand. Instead, we rearranged the order of the room to make it possible to fit both the toaster over and the microwave on the same countertop. So the toaster oven can indeed be used now!

37) Get my car detailed because the inside really needs to be vacuumed.

Status: Broken. My god, the car needs this so desperately now. But... money...

38) Go horseback riding on the island. I’ve never ridden on a beach before!

Status: Broken. Nobody really seemed that interested in going with me, and I thought it would be weird to go alone...

39) Eat healthier. Maybe cutting out snacks is too much to ask, but at least replace some average meals with salads, etc. and overall make an effort to actually eat better. Sometimes the fact that I feel like garbage is my own fault.

Status: Broken. The stress eating was extreme this last year. Please save me.

40) Wait, I should probably acquire a Playstation 5 so I can actually play my new copy of FF16, lol.

Status: Kept.

41) Help make sure the new tutoring requirement for the English classes goes over well.

Status: Kept, in that I did the best I could with a very, very weird plan. We immediately abandoned this plan the moment the grant expired anyway, since no one liked what admin had wanted us to do.

42) Finish decorating the main office. I’ll feel better if my workplace reflects the level of professionalism and school spirit that I envisioned it having this year.

Status: Broken, and I'm not going to roll this one over to the next year because I am 100% stepping down from my current administrative position and going back to being a full-time instructor again, so I will not need to decorate the main office anymore! Whoo!

43) Catch every variant of Vivillon in Pokemon Go. I’m currently missing Icy Snow, Marine, Meadow, Monsoon, Ocean, Polar, River, Sandstorm, Savanna, Sun, and Tundra, if anyone would like to be friends!

Status: Broken. I caught some of the ones I was missing but I really didn't play as much Pokemon Go this year. Broken pelvis decreasing walking ability but also just got tired of the game pushing more and more microtransactions, so I kinda took a longggg break.

44) Try to be more comprehensive with giving feedback to students. I’m always good at providing detailed comments on essays, but I’d like to spend more time commenting on smaller assignments too this year.

Status: Broken. Every year I try, every year I feel like I still haven't given enough. Maybe the issue with this promise is that I don't really know what is "enough" for the students compared to what I personally think I should give...

45) Make sure the retirement party for my coworkers who retired this year goes off without a hitch and honors them well.

Status: Kept. Oh, this was so nice and so much fun. It was really great seeing the retiring faculty members so emotional over how much we were able to honor them and their contributions to the school.

46) Take part in more activities on campus; I have a tendency to not attend many events because they’re in the evening when I’m tired, but I should really stay more often.

Status: Kept, though mostly by necessity. I kept constantly getting called in to help on things, even in other departments.

47) Write some Chainsaw Man fanfic for @mistystarshine!

Status: Broken. I'm so sorry, this just did not happen. I wish my work schedule was manageable instead of actually insane. There are so many things I want to write and do for myself, rather than for work...

48) Help my parents tear out the carpet in my old childhood bedroom.

Status: Broken. My mom talked about it a lot, but it never ended up happening.

49) Do something to destress (massage, pedicure, something?) at least once per month. I gotta take better care of myself…

Status: Broken. So broken. I only got more stressed this year. More and more and more and more...

50) I will keep my promises!

Status: Oof, mostly broken. Next year I'm going to set a reminder for myself so that I remember to check my promises every few weeks or something...

Kept promises: 15

Broken promises: 35

Another year, another chance, I guess. See you all in 2024!

JET Results: I'm In!

I got my results last week and I still can't believe it; I got accepted as a shortlist candidate for 2023! I don't know what area I'll be placed in yet, but I explained in my interview that I didn't have any preferences aside from somewhere with reliable public transport since I don't have a driver's license (though I mentioned I enjoy biking and wouldn't mind biking to work lol)

Right now I'm in the middle of getting my background check in order, and after that the next two things due at the end of next month are my Certificate of Health and JET Accident Insurance form. I also want to talk to my doctor and psychiatrist about the medical form I need for my prescriptions and arranging for as big a supply as I can bring overseas. Also I'm doing my taxes for the first time which is a pain in the ass, but it's another adult rite of passage I guess.

Informally, mom and I are talking about shopping for work clothes once we get told where I'm flying to, and she insisted on us having a celebration dinner at some point before I leave. I also want to spend some time with my best friend of over a decade before I fly out since I'm gonna miss him so much, so I need to get that arranged as well. There's also the matter of arranging for a phone I can use overseas, as well as a debit or credit card, and once I get more info from my consulate I'll look into a Japanese bank account since my US branch doesn't work outside the country. I've got plenty of savings to use when I first get to Japan but I'd rather not have to bring it all in cash on the flight lmao.

Oh and welcome presents! I want to make a good first impression with my future coworkers, students, and neighbors in Japan, so I'm trying to brainstorm what Texas-based/themed thing would make good presents. Any ideas?

Congratulations to all my fellow JETs and CIR applicants who got accepted!

Texas Trails: Navigating the Roads with Transportation Services

Introduction

With its vast landscapes, vibrant cities, and scenic highways, Texas beckons travelers to explore its diverse attractions. Whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, navigating the roads of Texas requires careful planning and consideration of transportation options. From bustling urban centers to remote wilderness areas, having the right transportation service can enhance your travel experience. In this guide, we'll explore various transportation services in Texas to help you navigate the state's trails with ease.

Rideshare Services

Rideshare services have become increasingly popular choices for transportation in Texas's major cities and beyond. Platforms like Uber and Lyft operate in metropolitan areas like Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, offering convenient and reliable rides for locals and visitors alike.

Whether you need a ride to the airport, a business meeting, or a night out on the town, rideshare services provide a convenient solution. With the ability to request rides on-demand and track your driver's location in real-time, rideshare apps offer flexibility and peace of mind for travelers navigating Texas's roads.

Public Transportation

Texas's major cities are served by robust public transportation systems, providing convenient options for getting around without a car. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) in Houston, Capital Metro in Austin, and VIA Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio offer bus and rail services connecting key destinations within each city.

Additionally, many urban areas in Texas have bike-sharing programs and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, making it easy to explore downtown areas and tourist attractions without a car. Public transportation is a budget-friendly and eco-friendly option for travelers looking to navigate Texas's trails while reducing their environmental impact.

Rental Cars

For travelers looking to explore Texas's vast landscapes or venture off the beaten path, renting a car provides the ultimate freedom and flexibility. Major airports and cities in Texas host various rental car companies, offering a wide range of vehicles to suit different preferences and budgets.

Having a rental car allows you to create your own itinerary, whether you're embarking on a road trip through the Hill Country, visiting national parks like Big Bend, or exploring the Gulf Coast beaches. However, it's essential to consider factors such as insurance coverage, fuel costs, and driving distances when renting a car in Texas.

Shuttle Services

Shuttle services offer convenient transportation options for travelers navigating Texas's airports, hotels, and tourist attractions. Many hotels and resorts provide complimentary shuttle services to and from major airports, allowing guests to enjoy seamless transfers without the need for a rental car.

Additionally, shuttle services operate between popular tourist destinations and attractions, making it easy for visitors to explore Texas's trails without worrying about parking or navigation. By taking advantage of shuttle services, travelers can relax and enjoy the journey, knowing that transportation logistics are taken care of.

Conclusion

Navigating Texas's trails with the right transportation service is essential for a smooth and enjoyable travel experience. Whether you prefer the convenience of rideshare services, the affordability of public transportation, the freedom of a rental car, or the ease of shuttle services, Texas offers a variety of options to suit every traveler's needs.

By considering factors such as budget, itinerary, and personal preferences, you can choose the transportation service that best aligns with your travel plans. With reliable and accessible transportation options available throughout the state, you can navigate Texas's roads with confidence, ready to explore all that the Lone Star State has to offer.

Yes rent is unacceptably high in big cities but, just from my perspective, lower COL areas are not necessarily worth it when you take into account car-dependency and transportation costs. The difference between my monthly rent when I was in Houston and my current rent in Boston is $550, which is a lot of money, but a big chunk of that is balanced out by the fact that I don't have to have a car here. Between payments, gas, insurance, maintenance, a reliable car can easily cost you $550 per month. Transportation in Boston usually costs me around $20 per month, which is a few subway rides and occasional bike maintenance.

I drove an ancient cash car when I lived in Houston. It was over 20 years old and cost $4,000ish upfront. I benefitted from being on my family's insurance plan and the cheap cost of gas in Texas, but it was still around $200/month minimum just to own and operate it. It broke down after about a year and cost $1,200 to replace a part. By the time I left just several months later, the check engine light was on, it was driving funny, and was probably on the verge of breaking down again.

With the monthly and one-time costs combined, I paid $8,200 to drive a car for 15 months. I saved $550/month in rent compared to what I would have paid in Boston, which comes out to $8,250 for 15 months. Add in $20/month for transportation in Boston, and you get a difference of $290. $290 cheaper, over 15 months, to live in Houston instead of Boston. That's a savings of about $19 per month. Is it worth it?

This is just one anecdote and I'm not trying to suggest that every high COL city is walk/bike/transit friendly (looking at you, LA) or that every low COL city is car dependent, but I think it's unfair to ONLY look at rent when we're considering affordability. If you can comfortably get rid of your car, you will save a huge amount of money, and even if you have to pay much higher rent in order to do it, it might still be worth it.

#actually the difference in rent is generous since I'm using my 2024 rent which has gone up since I was in Houston in 2022 #if I'd moved to Boston and lived in my current in the same year that I moved to Houston the difference would've been closer to $450 #personally I don't find standardized cost of living comparisons helpful because they assume no roommates and always a car #I wish they would make a seperate index for say single people making under $50k #because the standard american dual income family of 4 or whatever does not reflect my reality at all

The best places to visit with your family

A family vacation is a great investment because you may need a couch or new carpet but the furniture or the carpet will wear out; but the memories made on a family vacation will last a life time and only grow better with age.

Now where you take your pre-teens may depend on what you want to do or what they like to do.

In my opinion, here are a few of the top 10 family vacations.

Hawaii, go here for your family vacation to enjoy beautiful white sand beaches, towering waterfalls, whales, dolphins, volcanoes and more activities than I could possibly mention.

Washington DC, this family vacation would be educational as your kids would see so much history their head would spin. But if you get your kids involved in researching the different.

Museums and historical sights, let them choose which ones they want to visit, you will be surprised how excited they will get about what they are going to see.

Costa Rica, this is one of my favorite family vacation destinations for those that like adventure and nature. Costa Rican's are so friendly and proud, they want share their beautiful country with you.

While drifting down a river you will see trees full of howling monkeys, toucans and other colorful birds, crocodiles and lizard like creatures that seem to walk on water. On this family vacations you can

Visit frog farms at night and zip through the tree tops during the day or simply relax at the beach.

Gulf Shores Alabama State Park, if you want to stay in the US , this is a wonderful family vacation. It has gorgeous beaches, fishing, skiing, nature hikes, golf and swimming, just to name a few of the things to do.

Colorado Springs area, also a great family vacation spot in the US . Here you can white water raft, horseback ride, go to a cowboy dinner, pan for gold, rock climb; and the list goes on.

Disney, this is a given. But don't forget about Disney in California . It is smaller, but there are so many other things to do in the area that it is a fantastic trip for a family vacation.

Cruises, kids love cruises because they have special activities on board for the different age groups and they make friends and before the cruise is over they will want to have sleep-overs.

Dude Ranches, Texas , Colorado , Wyoming are a few states that have Dude Ranches. These are about the closest thing in the US to an 'all-inclusive' family vacation. Here you can go on trail rides, tube float down a river, watch and sometime participate in a good old fashion rodeo. And most all meals and activities are included in the price. Activities that are included vary.

Riviera Maya, Mexico, this area has some of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico and amazing all-inclusive resorts. Choose the right resort and your kids will never lack for something to do. They can go snorkeling, build sand castles, sail on a sunfish, slide on huge water park slides and all of this is included in the price along with all meals and drinks.

Smuggler's Notch, VT, Located in beautiful mountains, while on this family vacation your family can spend time together mountain biking, fishing, swimming, canoeing, skateboarding, painting, making jewelry, playing golf or just being quiet and enjoying the scenery around you.]

I would always check into purchasing a good travel insurance for your family travel because you never know when you will need it. I always tell my clients 'travel insurance is one of those expenses that if you purchase it and don't need it, then you feel it was a waste of money; but if you don't purchase it and loose all of your money or need the medical part of the insurance while on your trip, then you wish you had purchased the travel insurance'. So it is worth investigating.
