(dramatic) sigh.
the thanksgiving and christmas breaks from work, along with lots of family time to look forward to, unfortuntaly walk hand in hand with the bleak and bitter weather i dread so dearly. for whatever reason, these thoughts have begun to occupy a great deal of space in my head.
in fact, they seem to have gotten the better of me over the weekend, as i found myself spending the first two days of this new month at home, staring at the tv and computer screens longer than i care to admit. my mind was wandering. my body...was not.
despite this, i did manage to pull it together long enough to enjoy a few quiet weekend activities.
1. a shopping trip to stillwater and woodbury. still trying to figure out how i came home without anything.
2. one last outdoor bbq.
3. taking full advantage of the wide selection of $1 dvd rentals at our *new* redbox location (while all other residents of our small town remain oblivious to it's greatness).
4. and perhaps, best of all, an extra hour of beautiful, beautiful sleep.
i would like to say that all of this rest and time to crash at home is what i needed. but here i am, sunday evening...and the feelings are still with me. come to think of it, this is the second (gasp-third?) weekend i have awarded myself such time at home. perhaps the chance to "unwind" after a hectic work week is the opposite of what i need to become energized once again.
perhaps it's time (no, it is definitely time) to be social. to put myself out there. it's time for some not so quiet activities.
