Overcoming Inertia

I‘ve been doing pretty well lately with working out more consistently, but that’s about to be interrupted again.  But this time it’s a good thing!  Ben and I are going on vacation!

This is the first time we’ve ever gone on an extended vacation, just the two of us.  The closest we’ve come is a long weekend trip to Nova Scotia, which was 5 days long, but we were traveling for 11+ hours 2 of those days.  We’ve been on long weekend trips to my parents in Florida and several long trips to Walt Disney World, but never alone.  My parents have always joined us, since they only live about 2-3 hours away, and one time we went with a group of our friends in addition to my parents.

We were thinking about going to Disney World again, but Ben has been talking about wanting to see the Grand Canyon for a long time, so we decided in April to make our vacation a cross country road trip.  Work has been slow lately (boo), so it seemed like the perfect time to take 2 weeks off.  I’ve never felt like we could take off much more than a week in the past.  I’ve been getting super burned out lately, as we’ve not been on vacation for over 2 years now, so the timing for an extra long vacation is perfect.  Although my co-workers might not agree, as some stuff just came up this week that needs to be done in the next few weeks.  Sorry, guys!

We’ll be gone for 2.5 weeks.  I’m going to miss the cats so much!  This is the longest we’ve ever been away from them.  The longest before was 10 days, and we’ll be gone 17 this time.  We leave tomorrow morning at 5:00 AM!

I have literally gone through hundreds of themes trying to find one that I like.  I’m not really thrilled with a few features of this one or the colors, but it does have some things I like.  I figured I needed to pick something though, so that I didn’t keep using the excuse that I didn’t have a theme to put off writing.

One of these days, I’ll have time to combine the best things I like about several themes I found into a single theme that I’m happy with.

I‘ve always been a pretty lazy person.

Case in point: I decided that I was going to blog more.  I picked this great domain name to chronicle my efforts training for the Danskin triathlon in Webster, MA.  I was also going to just write about the stuff going on in my life in general  and my efforts to improve so many things in my life that I have been lazy or slacking on.  Maybe someone would read it, maybe not.  It was really just for myself.

Over two years ago.
