More Changes, Spinning Wheels, and Goal Setting

Sometimes it seems I'm spending my retirement years just stuck, spinning my wheels, aimlessly going nowhere.  It's depressing seeing that, even in this beautiful place, I am still stuck in my habit of being a recluse, staying in the apartment, not going out except on shopping trips with Diana, or visiting the family.  I spend way too much time on Facebook, commenting on way too many groups, staying up way too late, waiting for a chat with Mark.  And if I'm not on my laptop, I'm on my Tablet, playing endless games of Words With Friends, doing self-readings with my Tarot and Oracle apps, or reading books and magazines, which, at least, is productive because I'm reading spiritual and intellectual books and magazines, and stretching my mind, reading things I never dreamed of before, like politics, economics, and various Isms.  I also watch too much Netflix.  I don't watch a lot of TV anymore, but I watch a lot of movies.  I also watch YouTube videos, but even that is part of my education, watching Progressive Talk Shows, documentaries, and Wicca teachings. 

What I really need to do is set some goals for myself, and set up some sort of routine, or schedule, so I can get things done, and stop spinning my wheels.  Speaking of which,  I am going to go shopping this week for a new set of wheels!  A new car!  Can't wait to get back on the road.  I got my eyes checked, finally, a few weeks ago, passed the test, and got my license back.  But the car is beyond driving, so I'm going to get a newer one.  That will be a good thing to do with my inheritance money.
