Lists are kind of silly, I usually only make them when I go grocery shopping, and those are generally lost somewhere between the kitchen counter and the store so they end up useless anyhow. On day 6 of a flu/cold/sinus infection/pinkeye stuck-at-home ordeal, I'm going crazy out of my gourd, so I'm hoping as a brainstorming activity I can come up with some good ideas to hold me over till I can put my contacts back in and actually do things.
Which leads me to the question of how I got sick to begin with? I think doing things, too many things, trying to ski alpine or XC almost every day and not taking time for activities like mellow yoga sessions and just hanging out. I'm putting myself on a strict schedule of 1 or 2 days rest a week--can include climbing gym and yoga, but no skiing or long bike rides. Grrrrrrr. I forget sometimes that working as a ski instructor is quite a lot of exercise in itself and it's just so tempting to go crazy on all of my days off!
1. Dream about riding bikes
2. Internet window shop for a new bike
3. Do something like this:
Homemade yoga mat bag
4. Or this:
Restorative yoga
5. Play the banjo
6. Make kale smoothies (this usually only works once a day)
7. Knitting projects. Wash hands frequently so knit things don't become germy. Way fun (hint of sarcasm).
8. Ummm....work on my blog. Something I've been meaning to do for an awfully long time, it's been unfinished and generally not ready for anybody but myself to look at.
9. Just because I should be doing this right now: study for my Level 2 PSIA exam, since it's the only way I can get a raise as an instructor. I'm all over that!
Hopefully my next posting will involve actually doing cool things, like backcountry skiing or riding bikes.
