Reentry

Returning to my every day is harder than it has been on trips that I’ve been gone for a month. I’m definitely a different person than I was when I left. I’ll explain that later when I understand it better.

As soon as I got home, I had to jump back into it with a few pet sitting clients. Being gone so long I needed to catch up on everything house related.

It’s not just getting back to routine, because I don’t want to get back into routine I had before I left. I got into the habit of sitting in front of the TV for several hours throughout the day, not getting out and being adventurous., not meeting up with friends and just being a homebody. I want to do things differently.

My average step count while I was gone was about 13,000 steps a day. I do want to walk more. Before I left I was lucky if I did 4000 steps a day. I definitely plan on changing that..

Exercise isn’t the only thing for me. I’m looking for ways to have adventure in my every day. More on that when I have ideas. If you have anything I wanna share it I am all ears.

The picture for this post was sent to me from my buddy Krista, who met me at the beginning and the end of my trip. We had tons of wonderful adventures together when I was telling her about writing this journal mostly for me to remember where all I’ve been. When I told her about it,
she thought I called it flying penguins. And that just became a funny little thing and everywhere I went I came across penguins. When I got home from the trip, I had a picture of a flying penguin waiting for me in my pile of mail.

Also, I’m quite far behind on posting. I’ve only posted half of my trip. I’m almost done with the photo editing, but then remembering where I’ve been what I did I should’ve written before I worked on the photos. But there is much more to come hopefully you will continue to join me.Read more
