Five new things doesn't seem like a lot. But when you need to fit them in between all the obligations of daily living, it can be hard! Which is my not-so-subtle way of telling you that I didn't quite get it done. But it wasn't a total failure either! Here's my list:
1. I tried a case in Lincoln County (to excellent effect!)
2. I got recognized as a volunteer with one of the organizations I've been working with at their quarterly gathering
3. I changed the oil in our daily driver
4. I walked in a Pride parade
5. We decided to take scuba lessons with some friends (although the lessons themselves haven't happened yet).
The last one, obviously, is questionable. How many well-intentioned plans never come to fruition? But what can you do? There's only so much time in 30 days. 43,200 minutes, to be not-quite-exact. Which seems like a lot when I say it that way; let's go back to calling it 30 days.
I had lots of other ideas, but as with the scuba, they just didn't happen. My rowing partner wanted to learn to ride a unicycle, but I don't know where you can rent one. I wanted to go mountain biking on a trail I has never been on before, but that requires that it stop raining. There was a new circus in town (in addition to St. Louis's own Circus Flora) but they were only here for a weekend and I had visitors that weekend.
Even though I only got four-and-a-half things accomplished, it was a good exercise in thinking outside the box!
