the weekend i absolutely needed
I feel the concept of sober fun is lost in years of late-night partying and the need to binge drink in order to be careless wild and free. I got lost in the life of the party and sometimes I need some time to regain my sense of self and rejuvenate what is inside of me that drives me to my long term goals.
I have been stressed out and worn out for the past 2 weeks from school and work and midterms. Normally after a long string of stressful weeks, I like to kick back a couple of shots and go out to the bars. But usually after a weekend of that, I’m tired as hell and I still feel like my life is out of control.
My sister came down to visit me this weekend and I must say, this is exactly what I needed. We hiked up Spencer’s Butte yesterday with my bestfriend and his girlfriend. 6 miles total. It was refreshing to see Eugene so small. It really made me realize that a lot of the stresses I have now are temporary and will become a small stress later. We hiked back down in the snow/rain/hail and went to go get pho - such a great reward. We then went to Sweet Life for dessert and came home, cleaned up and lounged for a bit. We tried to go find a place to eat but everywhere was busy and we were too tired to be in public so we got a pizza, cafe yumm came home and watched tangled. I passed out quick last night. And now, I’m sitting on the floor while Cindy is still sleeping and I’m trying to debate on whether or not I should wake her. We’re gonna hit up some old book stores and just chill out for a bit before she leaves tonight.
I’m really refreshed and this entire weekend I have been passing out at a normal time (10-11pm) and waking up at a normal time too. I’m content with life. But kind of agitated that this week is starting again and I won’t be in this routine for much longer.
