Time to get more active

Nekā nedarīšana ir visai nogurdinoša, jo tu nevari apstāties un atpūsties.

Translation: Doing nothing is completely exhausting, because you can't stop and rest.

That was in my horoscope today, and it helped me set my goal for fall break, to start doing more! Reading that resonated all too true for me, as this school year I have been working so much and convincing myself that I'm too tired for anything by the time I get home. It is good to choose to be lazy sometimes, but I think I've been choosing it too much lately. I've set some projects for myself this fall break - some school-related which I have forbade myself to even think about until Wednesday and some personal projects. I'm optimistic about a good week coming.

We cleaned the house like maniacs (9 am until 5 pm yesterday), and realized the house hadn't had a good cleaning since well before the wedding in June. It feels good and it's so much easier to be productive. The mess just made me feel like closing my eyes and sleeping all the time. We rewarded ourselves (or really created motivation for ourselves) by having a group of friends over to play Apples to Apples last night, which is always fun and funny. We also started watching the Trailer Park Boys with them again. Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are such a great way to combat the winter blahblahs, I think we'll go through all seven seasons again this winter.
