What I Enjoy Outside of Work

 

Funny this should come up since I'm currently living in the place of my enjoyment. Camping! I love going camping. We're temporarily living in our RV after the sale of our house while we find another. Initially, we thought we would live in it while we built a house. That would be too lengthy, though. Living in an RV, unless you're actually traveling in it, is harder than you think.

 

Camping

I've always loved camping. Tent camping led to RV camping, of course. 'Glamping' as some people would put it. My husband and I usually go to state parks to camp, but we've also gone to KOA's. It all depends on location. Sometimes our travel trailer doesn't fit. There is something to be said about sitting around a campfire and relaxing in the middle of the woods. I don't care if I have a bathroom at my disposal to use instead of having to pee in the woods. I've been there and done that at one time in my life. Camping is the one enjoyment in my life that I've never outgrown.

 

Reading

Reading when I'm not working is something I do on a daily basis. Not only does it help me with my own writing, but it's an escape from a reality. And a good one. Like most of what you read on social media, I can be anything I want to be by slipping into a good story. Unlike camping, I have an obsession with buying and reading books. I can't get enough. Sometimes it interferes with my writing time, although I try not to let that happen. My reading time is reserved for before bed. I always set aside time before bed for reading. Sometimes it's a lot, sometimes I can only squeeze in a little. I'm lucky to get that.

 

Those are my two enjoyments outside of work. They'll always be my enjoyments for as long as I get to enjoy them. I hope it's for a long time to come.

 

Happy reading!
