Before I even start to process the changes that my life is dealing with, I’ve decided there are some things that I must do.  Immediately.    Some healthy, some indulgent, some I should have been doing anyways.  Hopefully this short list with serve as my quick fix, keeping me busy enough to not break down and cry every 15 minutes (something that’s rather important when you have to work in an office), while actually boosting my mood and keeping me happ(ier).

1. Get a Boston Public Library card.  It’s free and will probably take me no more than 5 minutes.  As a result I’ll finally (I’ve been saying I was going to do this for like, 3 years) have access to thousands of books, for free.  Reading is good.  Reading is a great way to keep busy and forget that you may actually be feeling rather lonely.
2. Exercise.  God I’ve been trying to get in the swing of this whole exercise crap.  I even signed up for a 10K (September 19!) as a hopeful means to motivate me.  In my defense, I have actually gone for more runs in the past month than I have in the past 2 years, but that is not good enough.  I must develop a plan, and stick to it.
3. Eat healthy.
4. Drink water.
5. Get ample sleep.
6. Do not listen to sad, depressing music.
7. Rinse, and repeat.

I think I’ll start tonight.  I work a block from the public library so I literally have no excuse.  And when I get home?  I will go for a run.  To the tanning booth (see?  I told you some of this was indulgent, and unhealthy).  Whatever folks.  A girl can’t be single, sad and pale as a ghost.
