Lately, I’ve acquired a free gym membership and work out 2 or 3 times a week. I also like to do simple crafts, like bookbinding and such, turning my writing into custom products. I’m getting a long-reach stapler for Christmas (I hope) to let me make booklets for shorter works. There is always ivy outside to trim, or something to fix, if I can’t think of anything else. I used to do cryptic crosswords, but I don’t have the time, now.

Whatever I do, I don’t read! It’s so funny how offices, clinics, etc., leave reading material around for waiting times. I don’t pick up any of them – I do enough reading and both my mind and my eyes need something else to do. I knit, have lunch with friends, visit museums – the time I spend seeking out and enjoying visual art has gone way up since being so task-involved with words.

To restore myself , I usually go to the market after doing some writing to treat myself an ice cream or buy a surplus dress.

I consider a 30minute to an hour walk around the market place , chatting with vendors on the streets and spending on food items a form of regenerative routine.

I take a weekend in Ojai, meet with friends, attend a workshop. get a massage, go to church in Santa Barbara, help friends fix stuff around the house, drop by my old employer’s offices, and generally do very little, if any, writing.

Kayaking is great exercise and wonderful for your soul. It's hard to beat being outdoors surrounding on gorgeous San Diego scenery and getting up close and personal with a variety of marine life. I love it! .-= Melissa´s last blog ..Sep 5, Top Romantic Movies =-.

I enjoy figure skating. I do it on weekends now because I work full-time, in addition to editing a novel at the moment. It’s something I always wanted to do, and even though I’m not that great at it, I really enjoy it. Two hours on Saturday and usually an hour on Sunday sometimes wipes me out. But it’s a good wipe, not like coming home from work tired after a hard day and looking desperately at my poor little manuscript which needs my attention. Since I have been working on the book at lunchtime at work also, I don’t always feel guilty about taking a really long nap on Saturday after skating!
