The birds are singing ...
I'm not enjoying my life as much as I used to/could be because I'm not doing the things I enjoy. It's that simple. Not than I'm miserable or anything, but a lot of things that used to make me happy have worked their way out of my everyday life, and I need to bring them back.
Biggest thing: music. During college I took the bus/walked everywhere, so I was constantly listening to my iPod and seeking out new music. The only time I listen to music now is on the drive to work, and it's usually the radio or the same six CDs that've been in my changer for four months, and these aren't exactly soul-stirring. AND I realized I don't even have a stereo (or a laptop with iTunes), so I never listen to music in my house.
Another thing: baking. I love baking. But trying to lose weight and making a weekly batch of goodies don't really go hand in hand, so I've cut it out. But I miss it A LOT. So much so that I'm considering a second job. There's an awesome bakery in Boulder that's hiring, and the idea of working there has me giddy.
There's more, but I've gotta get to work. Basically, it's time to invigorate my existence. I'm psyched.
