in a funky state of mind

Today I spent my whole day in bed. I've spent almost every night at home for the past 2 weeks. I'm confessing this, despite it being contrary to the intention of this blog. By owning up, I'm committing to changing this downward trend.

Niko, my dog, is back. On the one hand, this is wonderful. I love his company and he is adorable. He's been with me for 7 years but stayed with my parents for several months when my work schedule got out of control. With him being back, my hours are becoming more manageable actually. It forces me to leave and to sign back online from home. This is much more preferable than living in my office. On the other hand, I've used it as an excuse to not be social. I need to be here with him after I've left him alone all day. The weather hasn't been great. We eat here, I watch hours of SVU while working, and then I go to bed. Tonight I watched an episode where there was a loving couple and I realized, if I don't get out of my house, that isn't going to happen for me.

So tomorrow, I commit to getting back on track. Create balance. Wake up at a decent hour. Straighten up. Take Niko to Central Park. Drop him off at home. Go for a bike ride. Grab dinner with a friend. Walk him again. Be thankful to living in this city and able to have a wonderful pet like Niko. I'll have more adventures to write about in the me time. I promise.
