It's been over a week since I checked in, so it's time, I guess. But I'm not feeling it. I have been having a general feeling of unease and tiredness recently and am not motivated to do much, including blogging. Part of the reason for this is construction fatigue, especially knowing that it will be at least 2 more months before we can begin to put the house back in order. And the other factor is that Ward is formally retiring this week. An event that is welcomed by both of us but is a major life change nonetheless. Changes invigorate some people. Not me. They fill me with anxiety even when I know they are good ones. But experience has taught me that change is desirable and necessary and will be worth whatever growing pains it causes.
In the meantime, we have joined a gym. Ward will be losing his gym at work and wants a place to take exercise classes. He thrives in classes and has better success with regular exercise when it is scheduled. I'm not a gym person, but I have joined him and am slowly dipping my toe in. The gym seems well run with a lot to offer. I have been trying different classes and finding all are challenging in one way or another. But Zumba and circuit training classes have been the favorites so far. Zumba because it is a very friendly atmosphere, and circuit training because it involves working all major muscle groups.
The weather has been cold, rainy, and windy, so I haven't spent much time in the yard. There is more of that to come in the next few days, but spring is here, and we will slowly have more warm days than cold. The few vegetable plants I had planted survived a couple of hard freezes with protection, and I may plant some more things soon. Still deciding what that might be, but the top contenders are carrots and lettuce.
So I have told you about how I am unmotivated and tired these days, so I question my sanity when I say that I am considering doing the April A-Z challenge. I have no themes and feel like I don't have anything to say, but I do love a challenge. So I may start, and there's no penalty if I don't do it.
How are things in your neck of the woods?
