This weekend I’m going to be trying to both run around madly trying to prepare for my vacation next week (Oregon and Washington) and relax and feel better rested. Two somewhat incompatible goals, entirely within character for me.
Preparing for my vacation means some shopping, laundry, cleaning the apartment for my return, packing, the fun of making some incipient plans for what I intend to do, and playing around with my camera so that I have a better idea of what I am doing when I’m away.
Not that I haven’t been playing around with it just about daily, but I’ll confess to doing mostly fun play, and not the constructive play that will help me learn more about its features.
Relaxing and feeling better rested … I’ll confess to not having many energized and well-rested feeling days this year. This is, I think, my own damn fault. I burned myself out with the marathon last year and have totally slacked off on getting regular exercise. I’ve also been greedy with my evening classes this year (watercolor and pottery) – which I’ve enjoyed immensely but they have meant more late nights and less “me” time. But I think this term has been fairly proouctive
So my aim in relaxing and feeling better rested is to go to bed early, sleep in, exercise some, and spend some quiet time reading and in introspection. And making some gazpacho from The French Laundry cookbook which I’ve borrowed from the library, inspired by the French Laundry at Home blog.And thinking about my resolutions. I need goals.
