I woke up early this morning.  Well, for most people 8 am isn’t early, but for me it is.  I’ve had a full day.  I went into town for a dentist appointment and then went and bought a suit.  Afterwards I sat at a coffee place and read a book and then went to the gym.  It’s nice to have things to do.  Normally I sleep in until 11 am and then laze around the house for a while before actually doing anything.  Today was a nice change of pace.

Tomorrow is going to be way busier than today.  I’ve got to get up around 8 am again so I can drive to the cities and meet with Jim.  I’m basically going to be running around Minneapolis all day tomorrow going from one thing to the next.  It’ll be great.  I get to see some people I haven’t seen and I’ve also got some appointments and health checkups I’ve been wanting to have.  I’m also going to my old OA meeting tomorrow night.  I really hope that a lot of people show up.  That was a great crowd of women and I’ve missed them.

I went and saw a movie tonight.  I enjoyed it.  It’s nice to have time like that to just sit and focus on something relatively mindless and let my mind wander and not really work.  I usually keep it pretty occupied with things.  I also meditated today which was great.  I’d really like to get that practice up again and not have it be so sporadic.  I have the time right now, it’s just a matter of sitting down and doing it.  I enjoy meditating and feel there are a lot of benefits from it I experience so that’s pretty good motivation.
