The lingering effects of running are still with me this morning. I feel in some ways an air of self imposed confidence, after a run of one day and a decision to pursue a fitness routine...of some sort. Conversely i feel truly pathetic that a 3 m. run has made me so damn sore. Perhaps i over did it, but if that is true than my turtle running partner set to fast a pace so it is his fault not mine. However, i don't begrudge him that and, while i won't run/ride today, tomorrow is the time for more physical exertion. In the interim i have finally registered with the career center at WWU and should begin career counselling in March.
Recently I've let my mind go blank on the subject of a future career. I can see myself doing a lot of different things and nothing stands out as "that" career path. With the prospect of career counselling luming my mind has started spinning various jobs around but i am trying not to focus, to hard, on one in particular until I've gotten some feedback from the counsellors at WWU. I don't expect them to have an 8 ball that magically points out the path for me but some insight and experience with career basket cases like me will be refreshing. In the mean time I've got a bit of side work going on and hopefully in my down time i can work on a couple of furniture projects that have been sitting patiently for my attention and enjoy the unseasonable sun in Bellingham, this week at least.
I know that having so much sunshine this time of year isn't particularly good for our environment--we really do need the rain, and the snow pack--but it is very, very good for my general outlook on life. A few days of sunshine can change my perspective dramatically. It is easier, by far, to be unemployed in the sunshine than in the rain and the world seems to open up in a new way...its almost like a vacation, a vacation on which your flat broke but happy to be out none-the-less. I can't say how long the sun will last, the forecast calls for it through the weekend, all i can do is enjoy it while its here.
