#Reverb10: Prompt 11, the blog-along - March Update

Wow! Today marks the end of the first quarter of 2011. It is also time to update on the the #Reverb10 prompt for the blog-along with  MathNerd314 and chemgal18.

Here is the prompt for those who may have missed the first post:
What are 11 things your life doesn't need in 2011?
How will you go about eliminating them?
How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life?

And here is the short list of my eleven things:
35 pounds, excess stuff, a house, money stress, stress, second guessing decisions, procrastination, loneliness, single discontent, over-analyzing work situations and lack of traveling.

I made some progress on my eleven things this month. Although, most things felt like one step forward, two steps back.

I sold a couple of items on craigslist that have been hanging around my house for a while. Hooray for a bit of extra cash & stuff gone from my house.

Tomorrow will be the end of the third week in my new job and the first paycheck at the increased wage. The first weeks have gone really well and I'm settling into the new department and getting to know my new coworkers. I feel a lot less stressed in this department than in the prior one. It is a bit strange & I'm not really sure why. Maybe it is still the "honeymoon" period and I'll have a much better feel? In a lot of ways that I still cannot fully articulate, the new department feels like a much better fit.

I'm plotting a couple of trips. One to the west side of the state, a trip for my grandpa's 90th birthday, and another to visit a friend in CA. I was hoping for a trip east but I won't be able to get time off work in May as I had hoped. So I'll save my pennies and plan for later.

It's not too late to join the 2011 Challenge! Just leave your url in the comments.
