LOL, you know, I recently returned to where I live now after going away for a couple of years to get another degree. When I returned everything was fresh, there was a new job, new faces, and familiar people all around me.
So I can't do that again so soon.
I'm just recovering from a back injury that has had me out of commission all summer. I've been out a couple of weekends now, to a variety of events like art openings, fund raisers, and casual get togethers, as well as the same old same old.
But I've lost my momentum. Seemed like a year ago everything was fresh, and now, I'm not seeing anything that sparks me. Bleh. Where did all the cute men go?
So yes, I have to get up and actively seek out some healthy and fun activity that will allow me to re-engage and see new people and new opportunities. It's just hard to get moving.

You are so right. I have to get my blood flowing again. It's so hard to feel attractive when all I've done for months is a bunch of nothing.
And this will certainly get me out of my comfort zone. I'm sure it will be hysterical and slightly mortifying to go to a gym and exercise. I've never done that before!
