I May Be Missing My Mind, Montana
July 10, 2008
I returned from my weeklong vacation in Montana on Monday evening. Montana is a fantastic state full of (mostly) uninhibited wilderness and so much fresh air that I thought my nostrils were going to die from the lack of air pollution that I am accustomed to. I read six books while I was there, since there was not much to do besides doing absolutely nothing (with the occasional hike thrown in) and simply enjoying the peaceful mountain I was residing on.
Since I’ve been back, I haven’t done much besides getting back to work and taking it easy. I was glad to see my cat after the week I was gone, since he was apparently horribly depressed in my absence. (My cat, Skywalker, follows me around wherever I go when I am at home.) I am trying to lose the five pounds I gained in Montana, due to lack of exercise and watching what I eat, by getting back into my running/exercise routine. The monotony of my day-to-day life will surely destroy my sanity by the time the summer break is over.
