Micro-Adventures

I was sitting around being lazy this morning when I suddenly decided I needed to get out of the house. So I texted my sister and an hour later we were off for an adventure. My sister has started calling them micro-adventures: small things to enjoy the place we live and support local businesses. We drove to Logan ha ha. Did the usual and had lunch at Great Harvest, stopped by the Book Table and Bluebird and picked up some cheese at Gossners. I didn’t realize it was supposed to snow but it did start to snow on us but we went for a little walk by the Logan river anyway. It was so nice to get out for a bit. The snow wasn’t terrible in the canyon, but the front of the car was coated with it when we finally got home. 

It’s officially birthday shopping month….and I don’t want to buy anything. I don’t need any more books and there’s only a few that I actually want and they aren’t quite published yet. I’m trying to use the perfume I have, and I’ve also been working on producing less waste and looking at the single use plastics I use. Some I’m not giving up, but others I am. Baby steps. 

I don’t feel like I have major depression or anything like that, but this year has been a challenge and I am not excited about much. Add to it that mom’s death anniversary is coming up. Truthfully, I feel that it’s more the external things than grief that is affecting me right now. So still working on figuring out how to deal with that and what things I can actually do. I don’t always get it right but have to keep trying.
