In a Rut?

Have you ever felt like you’ve been in a rut? I have..well me & Mr. D have. We talked about it, about how we’re in a weekend rut. Going out to the bar every Friday night and watching movies on Saturday night. Just hanging around the house and playing video games or reading on Saturday and the usual cleaning & grocery shopping on Sunday.

We’re sick of it.

We were looking at houses lately and discussed moving to where there wouldn’t be a “rut”. Where there is always something going on, where we can get sushi at 10pm if we wanted to and we can do different things.

So instead of moving, we’re finishing fixing up the house. Our tenant is out, and I’m painting and cleaning and putting down new wood floors and new carpets and decorating like a young Martha Stewart. I say “I’m” because it’s mostly me who’s doing all the updating and furniture shopping.

But besides just updating the house to sell, we’re trying new things. We’ve stopped going out so much, and are having barbeques and beer at the house with our tiki torches. We’re going to the public market on Saturday mornings and walking around the canal and going to car shows. We’re getting out there, seeing the different things that Rochester has to offer, that aren’t the normal every day Rochester things, like walking Park, Monroe and East, and going in all the little shops.

These are getting us out of our rut. Changing up the routine. Trying new things at the market. Finishing the house updates. Just getting out and getting our butts off the couch and hopefully we'll stay in Rochester because of all the "new things" we're doing.

Summer is almost over and fall is going to be here shortly, it’s time we spend as much of it outside as we can.
