More activity

So, this week I did a few more "active" things, as per my resolution.

On Wednesday, I went to a rehearsal for the Clackamas Community Band. I will admit, they're a pretty low-key group, but it's nice to have somewhere to play again. My clarinet and I almost forgot what each other looked like!

This afternoon, a co-worker and I went to Happy Hour at the restaurant a couple blocks away from work. It was totally impromptu, but definitely fun. It's nice to have more social activity in my life. :)

I have spent more bonding time with my kitty. She's needed it. I think she feels extremely attention deprived since I ditched her when I was in California over break. The poor thing is CONSTANTLY begging to get into my bedroom. I've been holing up in there more often in the cold weather. I don't see the point in heating my entire apartment, since I don't have one thermostat. There's one in my bedroom and a "space"-type heater on the wall. There's another thermostat in the main living area, and two "space"-type heaters that run from that in opposite ends of the area. I've mainly been heating my bedroom, because I end up in there at the end of the night anyways. Let's be honest-I'm kind of an old lady when it comes to bedtime. I go to bed so early, that when I get home, I turn the heater on in my room to get it warmed up. I figure, it makes more sense for me to hang out in my room than for me to heat the rest of the apartment and hang out in the living area. I don't know if that makes a whole lot of sense, but it works for me.

I guess there hasn't been a whole lot of activity yet, but some is better than nothing! In a few weeks, the church I've been attending will have their kickoff for life groups. I'm planning to join one, and it'll be another thing to be active with.

What I REALLY need, though, is to get out and go walking. I'm trying to convince myself that if I just wear enough layers, I won't be so cold. We'll see if I can do it. Maybe I'll just make this a wii fit weekend and get active that way.

Do you have any suggestions for being more active? The area I have been struggling with most (not motivationally, but rather just not knowing how/what to do) is socially. I want to be more socially active, but I don't have that many people to spend my time with. I have a few friends, and we do spend time together, but I end up spending much of my weekend just sitting around and doing nothing. Not always so great. Any suggestions in that area would be appreciated. I hate meeting new people, but I've come to grips with the fact that I'm going to have to meet people if I want to have more friends to hang out with...
