The main thing that I have been working toward is being for better organised and productive in the garden. Much of my planting of seeds was not until March this year and some things didn't really get there at all so I intend on sowing some seed by the end of January, indoors like I have done sometimes in the past but lapsed. The greenhouse is already clean and tidy so it's a good start.
Otherwise, I intend to paint more pictures, both indoors and out.
I want to get to the seaside too as I haven't seen the sea for a year or two.
I will have more of the same, apart from the covid stuff.
Last year was a good one for us.
Workwise, I shall not be increasing my days, but with a bit of luck, I might cut back on my numbers per day.
I was on a forum yesterday, where I lurk, they are all practitioners like me. But when I say 'like me' I mean they have various qualifications allowing them to practice in the same manner as I do.
Anyway, they were comparing stats, and the maximum boast was of 12 per day. I had three cancellations on Tuesday [died, moved away, in isolation] and I treated 20.
You can see why I only lurk.
Seriously, there is one person who does 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. I cannot imagine how she can pad it out.

I don't know where I'd be without my doctor.
I see my doctor once every 3 months for a medical review. She weighs me, measures my blood pressure, does a general examination. She also organizes blood tests and ECGs. The medication she prescribes WORKS, too: I have regular monthlies because of my doctor prescribing a certain medication.
I am due to see my doctor again in January. I really try hard to keep all my medical appointments.

Cherry, I am surprised to hear that you will be increasing your days.

Well, I might plan to find a new job in the next year... but may just wait until 2023 so I can claim enough experience for even higher paying positions.
Will also be doing more gardening I suppose..
I kind of keep things up in the air for the most part... Planning doesn't work for me because of chronic health issues, so I come up with ideas and possible goals that I can take my time on... but I won't be hard on myself if I can't do much.

My ultimate goal is getting this job I've got an interview for in January. Unfortunately they could not see me [because of COVID-19] but I am hopeful the New Year will bring new blessings. Working for a better life: and a more sociable one at that, is the goal.
I shall be resuming my social club in the New Year, too: I just need to mix with people more and boost my social confidence.

When my son interviewed a candidate for his department recently it was all done online via video. The job was predominantly homebased as many are these days so the capability was maybe a requirement but I do wonder if you have that option. Maybe it would be something to indicate on a CV these days, if you haven't already done, as it may be a useful factor, particularly with the current situation.

My son has interviewed for a couple of new jobs recently and all via zoom/skype he hasnt been into an actual office for two years now. He has run an international team for years remotely, they all worked primarily from home even before the pandemic and did just fine, he just had to fly over and check them once or twice a year.
As he said tech companies in particular need to use and make the most of techthey promote. He knows his globe trotting days are over but as he said 10 years of flying around the world staying in 4 or 5 star hotels all expenses paid had to come to an end at some point and he is happy to have see so much of the world without spending a penny !

I have decided to join an online dating agency.
I am fed up of being alone and having no love life. I can't spend the rest of my life like some spinster. I need someone to care about and treasure: but not just friendship.
Any suggestions of [safe!] online dating agencies?

No, but choose wisely maybe ask anyone who seems interested to show a photo of themselves with a recent paper to prove thats what they look like, Ive heard of far too many men who use a 20 year old photo or who lie about their height or age.
My brother had an online dating profile... OMG he sounded nice ! educated, interested in culture and the arts... In truth he is like the missing link, he grunts like a chimp and the only culture he knows is mouldy bread!

I know the rules. It's alright to laugh and insult your own family, but not others.
So I did not laugh out loud, and I am not still smirking at your brother's description...
I plan to remain hunkered down and hiding from Covid as much as possible. I plan to continue to be part of the battle at work against it. Beyond that I have no thoughts.

I think it is a good idea, but I would also join forums that you are interested in, like poetry, and see if you can meet people through the forum chats.
That way you get to know people in a friendly setting, not in a desperately seeking a partner setting.

I know I see ads for Match.com a lot, so they are very well-known.
I'd start with any of the bigger established websites near you. I think some now offer ways to video chat through their site with people first before meeting in person.. might have been an addition because of COVID, but it's smart to do either way.
A widowed friend of mine joined a dinner club where a group of people met for dinner or theatre visits, that way there was an easier social setting to meet and get to know someone.
I don't think 2022 will be the end, but we might be heading in a better direction... Omicron might be our saving grace if it's less severe but takes over!
Maybe at least 2022 can bring a little more hope and optimism than most of us have been able to experience the last two years I suppose that's what I want at a minimum this year... hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst, as usual ;p

The worst certainly likes happening on this planet.
I am sorry to be so negative, but everything always goes wrong. At least - however - we have victories where we can find them. Although those golden moments are rare.
