It has been over two months since I last wrote here, well anywhere actually. I had good intentions of getting some writing done during NaNoWriMo but in the end being sick drained me of any desire to do anything, plus took the majority of November away. December then steam rolled its way through. Christmas, New Years came and went so quickly I couldn’t believe it.
They say time flies when you are having fun, but it seems it also flies when you are just going about your life. I keep trying to make time slow down, to fit more in, to accomplish more, but it keeps marching on at its usual pace. Some days it feels like I win a little, others not so much, but maybe we are finding a mutual balance.
To add some extra craziness to my time/life balancing act I am dog sitting, Ricco for S&S. They are off gallivanting for two well deserved weeks in Mexico – I am dealing with a dog who isn’t sure where he is, doesn’t like the racoons that live under the house and likes to get up really early. I love him, but come on, I don’t need to be up until after 7am, anything before that is cruel.
I’ve also started taking a Learn To Run clinic, to try and ease back into the running I started but, due to a serious ankle sprain, had to quit over a year ago. So far I am on heading into week three and other than a slightly strained shin things seem to be going well. Each week brings longer running vs walking time, I’m hoping my body will be able to remember how much it liked running and keep up with the group.
Hopefully this entry won’t be just another update before I fall off the grid again. Perhaps between dog sitting and my running clinic I’ll at the very least have something to write about if not daily then every other day. I keep letting my hobbies fall by the way side due to mental exhaustion after work, I need to remedy that. More writing, more photography, more reading, more running.
