Week on the Run: Day 1

Right now, I'm most of the way through day one of seven in my "away from home" challenge.  I've got another few hours to go, but it's an easy coast at work, and I should hit my 12 hour mark dead on.

To be honest, this first day has been pretty easy, which is both a blessing and a curse.  I expected Sunday to be one of the more difficult days to fill, as there is rarely much to do.  With work filling up almost 8 hours, though, it was much more manageable.  A quick shopping trip for essentials (TP is a non-negotiable need), grabbing a leisurely cup of coffee at the mall, and a fairly enjoyable play* filled out the rest of the day.

With that off my plate, I have a chance to look forward a day or two.  Tomorrow is already pretty full - school, work, and then another blog post from...somewhere...ought to fill it up.  Tuesday is going to be when things get interesting - with my only existing commitment being 3 hours of classes in the morning, I need to find a lot to do.

I'm still deciding how I feel about "banking" time in either direction - that is, more time out one day in exchange for less on another, instead of aiming for 12 hours every single day.  I probably should have sorted that out for sure before I started, but since my only commitment is to myself, it's not too bad.  I think I'm going to allow myself to bank extra time out if it happens (which should give me some flexibility to do things like laundry), but no running a debt.  I have to always be on the positive side of life the balance.

Since day two starts soon, I'll cut this off here store any more thoughts for tomorrow's post.
