Today I joined a gym that is right across the street from my apartment. Project Fitness has officially begun. I even worked out this evening with Renee. It was a great feeling, despite not being able to feel my legs.
Today I walked two dogs that belong to a friend of mine through a park. I loved watching all the kids get excited and want to pet them, loved the conversations struck up by little old ladies who thought they were the cutest things. I then found a dog I want to adopt so badly but cannot.
The cute. It hurts.
Today I went to the post office and didn’t have to stand in line to mail a letter to my brother in Fiji. The envelope carries a small memory card for him to record videos of where he’s living. Be expecting those up on the blog, if he ever does it.
Today I did some laundry and read blogs in my google reader. I cleaned a little and relaxed. I bought a little notebook to write my To Do lists on and already I feel more organized.
Today I had a day off and it was wonderfully productive and relaxing. I have another day off tomorrow which makes it even sweeter. The best part is that I got a lot accomplished and am working on bettering my life one thing at a time. I want a routine, I want organization, I want exercise and I want to not be plugged in all the time.
I’ve been longing for a vacation for the past week, especially since I have four days off in a row right around Labor Day. It is rare that I have that much time off and all I can think about is getting away from Boulder, even if it’s just out into the mountains camping. I haven’t figured out how to make this happen, where to go or what to do. I would love to sit in a little cabin on a lake and just read all weekend; just relax and unwind and enjoy nature and being unplugged.
You’d think I’d have enough time to be disconnected here in Boulder where I am surrounded by all this natural beauty but my computer connection is never too far away and my phone is always on. My desire to have a few days away from Boulder, completely immersed in nature is strong and only growing stronger. I’m not sure when I’m going to have this same amount of time blocked out for me again with my job the way it is and I’m scrambling to come up with a plan.
Tomorrow I have a training session at my new gym at 10 am and then I have the entire day in front of me to do what I want and I plan on spending as little of it as I can in front of a computer. We will see how successful I can be at that. I have plans to go for drinks down in Denver and then to an event hosted by Xbox which I’m sure I will be talking about in the next few days.
What did you do today?

Get yourself a tent (or borrow one if you don’t already have one) and go camping. Its stunning where you are, yes, go, get out and enjoy it. Drink it all in and completely unplug and get away from all things technology. I hope you enjoy your day off tomorrow! Today I crammed as much stuff into a carry-on back as I could. I hate packing.
1) Love the new layout.
2) I’m glad you had a productive day!!
3) I did laundry today and finally got my laptop working again, which meant catching up on a ton of emails.
Since this post was from yesterday, I’ll tell you what I did then. I worked until five (boring day) then went out for disgustingly (but delicious) fatty Italian with my sister and drank lots of rose wine. Did NOT feel great this morning…
