Resolutions

Not quite New Year resolutions but... New Me plans. I have always been very fond of not only writing out plans, but making them step-by-step, tangible goals. I want to achieve A and I will do this by BCD, kind of thing. Following on from yesterday's post, the main thing I need to do is get back into work.
I am signed off through the rest of August, to be reassessed the last week. If my GP gives me the OK to return to work, I will contact my manager and arrange a meeting with him and our HR person. I will be proposing a phased return to work, starting with part time hours 3 days a week and see how we go from there. Obviously this is something that would need to be reviewed as I get back into the swing of things, and of course is dependent on them agreeing to the proposal.
Once I'm back in work, the next step would be building up my financial reserves to have a deposit to put down on either a flat or a house of my own. I suspect initially renting, rather than buying. Ideally a two bedroom place, near to work and my son's school.
Only then will I be in a stable position to counter the custody situation and petition for joint custody, rather than just seeing him at weekends.
There's smaller goals I'd like to achieve as well.
I've started and plan on finishing watching the whole Star Trek verse as per the Star Trek Chronology Project - hey, I'm a geek, remember?
