Smooth

Things have smoothed out a bit for us. The job with Hosmer is steady money, I’m getting a few web gigs on the side, and we’re not in a dire situation anymore. It’s amazing how little money it takes to increase the comfort in your life. Once your needs are met, that extra money can be spent on a new hobby, saved for a big project, spent on a night of pizza and pool with friends, or all of the above.

Visiting the Y and exercising regularly has certainly be helping. Not the money situation, but the mental health side of things. It’s one of those stupid things that everyone knows about, yet choses to ignore. Exercise does make you feel better, in many different ways.

Winter has been having it’s last hurrah this week, but hopefully next week will bring more mild weather and work on the bus can begin again.

YMCA

Nishi and I got a membership at the Y this weekend. We got their cushy premium membership, which includes a private locker room, steam room, sauna, whirlpool, and access to the racquetball court. We’ve been swimming laps, which is something I’ve never really done before, with the exception of when I was first learning how to swim. It’s really nice, and I’m already feeling better. That exercise really does wonders for the mind.
