I have the happy news that my moping session is officially done. My parents and sister are probably very relieved to hear that I am done moping around, being bored.
This week has been frustrating, relieving, exciting, scary, exhausting, strange, and freeing. I haven't done much, and that's been kind of annoying.
But I'm starting to think about what I want to do with this time. I am trying to decide how I want to use my time to do a better job of achieving my goals. I have a month before people are counting on me again. So I'm going to enjoy the chance to finish up what I wanted to do all year but didn't have time. And yes, some of those things included not running, making cookies, and lazing around with absolutely nothing to do--exactly like I have this week.
So here is to a new day. Maybe I will visit the botanical gardens (actually, that's probably a yes). Maybe I will run more (ok, that's a yes too). Maybe I will write the next great American novel. Maybe I will learn more about photography. Maybe I will make a goal to bake a different batch of cookies every week. Maybe I will try every ice cream place in town. Maybe I will drive to Salt Lake and go shopping all day. Maybe I will drive and visit every National Park in Utah. Maybe I really will buy a mountain bike. Maybe I will hike every trail in the nearest 25 miles. Maybe I will fly to California, New York, and Canada just for the fun of it. (Ok, the last five are probably a no).
But I have a month, starting tomorrow, to do whatever I want.
So maybe I'll find a hobby or two.
