I haven't been blogging much lately, and I guess it's because my life for the past couple of weeks hasn't been particularly lived online. I checked out of it all last week, and retreated to my parents' home on Vancouver Island for a few days, where I did my utmost to NOT be online at all. Instead, I slept, did yoga, went for walks, did some meditation, and ate healthy food. Bonded with my mother. It was very lovely.
Easter weekend I went to a gathering on the Sunshine Coast, which was fun and all but kind of muddy. And then I spent the rest of the weekend (which included Monday, for me) assembling an Ikea dresser (ooooooh, man), and trying to fit all my stuff into my new and very small bedroom, in a way that feels nice and tidy. I've been building shelves and feeling like a handywoman. (Hear me roar! I love using a drill!)
I have to say that the act of NOT being online for 4 days did wonders for the compulsive nature of my online-ness. Sometimes I feel like a slave to the internet, and it's a great feeling to break the shackles of that addiction somewhat. You know how there's a TV Turn-off Week? (Coming up, actually - April 24-30) Well, I highly recommend a computer turn-off week. Or even just a couple days. Give it a whirl, and see what comes up...
