2014 Achievements

On January 1st, 2014 I woke up a twenty-something in the spare room of our friends house, at the time it was my temporary residence. Since then much has changed, I'm now a 30 year old with a house, a dog, a new job, another year of marriage and I'm connected to the NBN.

So what did I achieve in 2014? I mean, the less important things obviously.

I...

was best man in a wedding. I didn't lose the rings.

taught myself to bake Twisted Delights and got slightly fatter. I also made fairy bread with Nutella and sourdough.

changed an engine's oil for the first time ever. Totally worth it. Apologies to my old lawn mower, wherever you are now.

changed circular fluorescent light globes for the first time ever. The moment I truly felt like a homeowner. It was easier than the engine oil.

didn't go to Sydney for the first time since 2009. Although I might have flown briefly across the south-eastern tip of NSW.

ate more yogurt than I ever had before. Enough to justify a spreadsheet.

swam with the oysters in Port Lincoln. I didn't see any while I was in the water, but they were around there somewhere past the sharks.

retired from Basketball. Although I still watch the NBA.

ran a lot. Including my longest distance ever and my most runniest calendar month after which I was slightly less fatter.
