So, my first week of being house-guru has passed. While I didn't get quite as much accomplished around the house as I had originally planned, I did get a lot taken care of. Over the course of 5 days, I only worked around the house maybe a day and a half. With what was I filling the rest of the time, you may ask? Naps? Facebook? Netflix? More naps? As nice as all that would've been, I was out running errands: DMV line for a license, shopping for food-stuff, helping a friend move some furniture, yada-yada-yada. It's absolutely astounding how much time driving can take up (not to mention the hour and a half just standing around in line).
All the work was made all the more bearable by the freedom of options. I have the option to sleep in, to listen to music or have movies run in the background, to snack and drink whenever. Along with being busy, I took time to relax and enjoy my time. Ran with a friend and upon our return drank a few beers by a warm fire in the pit on the patio. Took a short little bike ride through the woods, stopping by a friends on the way back to endure some football while everyone talked trash to each other. Of course I took some time for Facebook and Netflix.
I'm looking forward to the week ahead. Hopefully a few less errands, and more productive house cleaning. Slowly but surely the laundry bins are getting emptier and the closet is getting fuller. I look forward to possible hula-hooping and stick juggling, as well as more bike riding and getting my tai chi forms memorized.
Life is feeling pretty good at the moment. Everything is slowly finding balance.
