I haven't realized it until today, but I haven't gone out my way to get out the house for quite a while, now. It doesn't even occur to me most of the time.
Today, thankfully, I went skating. My parents go skating almost every weekend, but today, suddenly, I really felt like I needed to get out of the house and do something.
I haven't gone skating since 8th grade, and the first step on the ice was terrifying. After skating around a few times, I got the hang of it again. The only scary thing I encountered from that time on were the children about three and a half feet tall who either (a) are extremely advanced skaters or (b) fall over every time you get within five feet of them, but all are completely oblivious to everyone around them. I nearly got run over by a small kid in a jersey about three times, but he stopped about six inches from knocking me over each time.
Since I came home, I have successfully baked a carrot cake from a box. I feel like I've cheated every time that I cook something from a package. I seriously feel guilt. Also, I've began knitting a scarf, and I'm sucked into the addictive vortex that is knitting.
I should read more of the second "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" book. It's the ideal mixture of strange, sarcasm and sci-fi. Three of the things I value most.
Love,

PS- I've decided that I'll keep track of how many city buses I've taken this year, just out of curiosity, and a link to a song, one that's stuck in my head, or stands out that particular day. In an attempt to brighten your life. And mine.
Song of the day: Across the Universe Soundtrack- Hey Jude
Number of city buses taken this year: 9
