But for real.I complain a lot about how busy I am at work. And for the most part it's true, my job has all the fun of a regular 8-5, but also a lot of working with college students, so I get to work some nights and weekends too. Poor me.
One thing I'm committing to doing is to make the most of my downtime. I am very much a person who needs some alone time. But I have not taken care of this time; I haven't really used it.
I've been at my current place for about a year now. It's nice. It's not where I want to be forever. For now, it is good. There are a lot of things I would change about my circumstances, but I know that where I am is where I need to be now.
I have been kind of assuming I needed to wait for other things in my life to move forward. Social life, career, stuff like that.
It's a bit disheartening, because I can't really control many of those things. What I can control is what I do with downtime. In grad school, what little downtime I had was for completely shutting down my brain so it could rest. I'm past that point in my life, but I'm still in habit of doing nothing with my time.
That's something I can change. I'm trying to read more, which I will be posting about in the coming weeks. I'm using this blog mainly to keep myself to it.
I'm good at it on saturday mornings, as evidenced by this picture. Look how intellectual I am.
Yes, I still use Christmas mugs. Let me live my life.
My goals are to read more, learn languages, and new skills. Will this make me a better person? I hope. I believe that discipline is an important practice. It's also one which I suck at. I am an all or nothing sort of gal. I make grand plans, and one setback pushes me back to point where my grand plans are no long possible. So I talk to some food about it. I'm going to take things one day at a time. One workout at a time, One post at a time. And see how that goes.
Here's an adorable manatee to brighen your day.
