Making my resolutions more realistic

I resolve to . . . 

 

. . . hold on to the dresser when putting on my pants.

Check the flue before lighting a fire.

Check the flue before lighting a fire.

. . . wear those elbow-length gloves when pruning a rosebush.

. . . stop calling 911 after gardening and take care of it myself.

. . . check the flue before lighting a fire.

. . . understand the printing on the top of a ladder that says DO NOT STAND ON THIS STEP really means something.

. . . stop pretending nobody hears the outcome of eating lentil soup.

. . . write down the address of a party instead of ringing all the neighbours' doorbells to ask if they're hosting anything.

. . . jamming the car into a SMALL CARS ONLY parking space so climbing in through the passenger side is the only option.

. . . pick a side when hugging guests and stick with it.

. . . carry a first-aid kit at all times.
