~happy new one!~ 2026-01-01
it's a whole new year!! and you know what else? it was snowing this afternoon where i am! the first snow of the year, on the first day of the year...
somehow, that feels important in a good way!
this year, i'm going to try and be a little more physically fit than last year. i got really into tennis last summer, because there are some free-to-book tennis courts a very short distance from my house - and it felt great to get a little fitter! as soon as the colder weather moved in though, i ended up slugmode and i'm a little tired of struggling back up the hill from the shops with my groceries again.
to stay fit in the cold, i'm using a stationary exercise bike! nothing fancy, no trackers or apps or whatnot, just me, my legs, and a big heavy flywheel. time to get the melon blood pumpin'!
other than that, i have a good feeling about the upcoming year. i think there will be a lot of interesting changes for the better in the world. i don't have a particularly strong reason for feeling this way, but i do! there's just something in the snowy, snowy air!
have yourselves a lovely new year, everyone!
