improve my "work/life balance"
What had happened was...

My department was extremely understaffed, so I did a lot of 10-12 hours days, for about 8 months. I was solely responsible for… an unfortunate amount of work. As soon as we got additional help I stopped all of that craziness. It was hard to let go and let someone else help, but it is great to have other people shoulder some of the burden!



recycle more
I'm a little wierd about recycling...

I just can’t throw recyclables away. I’m not sure why… we did not recycle when I was growing up… I started when I got my first apartment. At one job I even collected paper and beverage containers and took them home to recycle them. I just feel that this is a growing problem that we can do something about with just a little effort…



Do something new every month
March's new thing...

I tried actually joining a gym. Two, actually. I had trial runs at two gyms in town, and a friend and I went to both of them 2-3 days a week. Neither of us had been near a gym for, erm, several years. Lots of years! Now the average is 4-5 workouts per week, both heavy-duty cardio, and also weight-training! Good stuff!
