That Time of Year Again

6:02 PM October 22, 2007

It's that time of year again. Every few months I manage to pull myself off my ass and start getting more regular exercise again. Like many of you, I keep meaning to go for a run after work, or go to the gym, but something always prevents me from doing so.

For a while, I was too busy when I started my Japanese class. Working two jobs and taking that course sure did take up much of my time. After I dropped that class, I was sick for a while and not feeling like exerting myself with exercise. Then I became busy with bachelor party planning and writing a best man speech for my best friend Adam's wedding. I'm not much of a public speaker, so I was a bit stressed about doing a speech in front of 100 people. But the wedding and speech turned out great. I'd never been part of a bridal party for a large wedding before, and it was a lot of fun.

Now that the wedding is over, I find myself at a point of "restart" in a manner of speaking. It's like I finally have some breathing room to get things done again. Work is going well with my main job. My contract work is moving along as usual. And I now have time to get active again and work out. In fact, I've now got time to do a lot of things again, such as cook a proper dinner for my wife and I tonight, do more DJ-ing and spend time finding new music and tools to use for that hobby, read some of the many books I've bought over the last year that I haven't had time to begin reading yet, play some new video games I've been meaning to try, and watch a ton of movies I'd been meaning to see all summer. Now that I have some time without things looming over my head, I love that it's already filled up with all these things. It's times like this that I love being busy.
