And here we are at the end of not only the month but also the year!\u00a0 2018 had some highs and lows, but I can say I’m optimistic for 2019 and where things will go.\u00a0 November ended up being a wonderfully productive month — Hubs and I managed to do some adulting, including going to the dentist and getting our cars serviced. #nextlevel<\/p>\n

Okay, then, what do I need to accomplish this month?<\/p>\n

\n
• Be more judicious about accepting invites<\/strong>.\u00a0 I’ve really strayed from my ‘only one night a week’ promise, and I’m often feeling the toll of my decisions.\u00a0 It’s fine to go out, and for most of the events, there’s a tangible goal to achieve, however, I think I need to focus better on what is one of a kind, and what will invoke the most JOMO.<\/li>\n
• Get back on the bike<\/strong>.\u00a0 Flywheel only discounts their packages once a year, and I’ve got my booking in place for Monday already locked.\u00a0 Getting older and having a slower metabolism is a real thing, and the only way to combat it is exercise.\u00a0 While I’ve still been fairly faithful to my intermittent fasting, I could definitely use a boost.<\/li>\n
• Start locking down some trips\/stays\/reviews for 2019<\/strong>.\u00a0 As of now, the only thing I’ve got on the calendar is my bi-weekly date at Dubai Eye and my weekly volunteering session at K9 Friends – and I’d really like to finish the month of December with some concrete dates in the diary.<\/li>\n
• My best of list.\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, it’s time for my top three dining experiences in 2018.\u00a0 It’s not been quite the same caliber of dining that 2017 was, but there were still plenty of memorable meals.<\/li>\n
• Edit.<\/strong>\u00a0 My Louvre manuscript is still in bad shape (I’m on page 110 out of 200 something), and I’m hoping for a swoosh of inspiration to kick it into shape.<\/li>\n
• Abu Dhabi.\u00a0<\/strong> Okay really, it’s been far too long since I’ve been to the capital.\u00a0 I’m hoping to get to both the new Andaz, and hopefully the Edition as well.\u00a0 Let’s see!<\/li>\n
• Get paid.<\/strong>\u00a0 I’ve got a few pending and outstanding payments for 2018 – it’s in my best interest to send reminders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  What’s on your list for the end of 2018?\u00a0 Any pending projects you need to finish up?\u00a0 Anything you’re looking ahead to accomplishing in 2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n
