I've never been one for resolutions, but this week I have found myself making plans and setting goals. There's snow in the mountains to play in, but also plenty to keep me indoors for the winter - between the tempting knitting projects I keep finding and my every expanding tower of books to read, I could easily not leave home until summer! It feels like I ended 2017 in a rut, spending much less time outdoors than I need to maintain my sanity. One of my biggest obstacles to getting outside over the year was literally getting out of bed, since working from home allows me to sleep in much later that I used to. A 5 AM wake up call feels a lot earlier when you've become used to getting out of bed at 7:30! For 2018, I'm also trying to cut back on my indoor hobbies to make more time for the outdoor adventures I love so much. I even mentioned to Andy that I'd like to take a break from knitting for at least a few months (after I finish my current project of course), and he not-so-jokingly bet I wouldn't make it three days. I'm nearly finished, so I guess we'll see if he's right!
