every day existance

I need to get out of routine. My life is very boring right now, very mundane, very average. How can I live an extraordinary life when I am trapped in routine? I know I'm not trapped, but I've allowed myself to get caught up in the ordinary, everyday life. This isn't me, this isn't like me, so why the drone existence? It's somewhat ironic how moving to a completely new location has made my life very ordinary. Unfamiliar with my surroundings, I merely adapted into a routine. Go to work. Pay bills. Eat. Go online (or similar at-home activity). Go to sleep. VERY boring, and exactly the life I hate. It's no wonder I'm going crazy. But why haven't I explored the area? Well, for one, I did a bit, and didn't find much. Which led me to think Lansing is very dull. But there's stuff out there, I'm discovering. Just some parks and such. At least it'd be a break from this every day life.

Which I'm currently trying to break out of. Yes, I still have to go to work. Yes, I still have to pay bills. Well I suppose I don't HAVE to, and I'd prefer NOT to, but it makes staying alive a little easier for now :) Work does get in the way though! Anyway, I decided to step out of routine, try to do different things when I can. For example, start doing yoga again. Things like that. I have a spare couple of dollars coming my way, which I intend to use to fix my car then take a little trip north to get away from the mundane, refocus my energy and the such.

In other news, I've started the work on the book I'm going to write. I wrote a little intro, which I think isn't very good & I might rewrite or delete altogether. As of now I'm just taking notes. But... I'm making SOME progress. Mostly while working, as lately it's been pretty slow at work and my hours are spent sitting around bored. So I brought a notebook and, today, my computer to get some work done on my novel :0

That's abooooot it!
