Un-wintering

[serene]

Clearly, the winter is over in my body. I'm actually grateful to the Bay Area for teaching me seasons. We don't really have them in San Diego.

Signs that I am spring-ish:

1) I'm SO excited about the community garden; did I mention that?

2) I'm also excited about Food Not Bombs and Freeskool, both of which I plan to drop in on during my next days off. I'm feeling outward. All winter I felt inward. Y'know?

3) Part of why I can un-winter is that I've cut down on how much I'm trying to do in a week, from work to personal pursuits. This is a GOOD thing, and I'm not gonna let my current energy shoot me in the foot. I'm staying with my one-thing-a-day guideline for the foreseeable future, because it's really working for me.

4) I've been having so much fun watching someotherguy do his current geeky project, and now I want a geeky project. I think I'm gonna go ahead and learn PHP so I can put an interactive calendar on my website. I know I can pick up or buy the code, but I think it would be a fun thing to do for myself, and I can use the programming skills. Gonna do the PHP tutorial I started on last year; it was easy to understand.

It's good to read about others trying for balance in their lives, and succeeding. Right now things are getting way too busy for all three of us, but it's due to a combination of opportunities that we're either already committed to or found very hard to turn down. At least I'm better about getting enough sleep, now that it drives my blood sugar high.
