a relaxing end of year
so things are pretty chill from now until the end of the year. i’ve got this week off, then in we’re off to maui 2 wks later, and then i’m off again the week of christmas. the thanksgiving & christmas breaks are technically only supposed to be 2 days off each, but the benevolent mr. jobs has given everyone the full week off for the past 2 years. which is nice because i, for one, busted my ass the whole year (and even passed on burning man because of a project). i’m ready to jump back in full gear in ‘08, but a nice 6 week cool down is very welcome.
so what big plans do i have for the week? n-o-t-h-i-n-g. it’s a beautiful thing. actually, i’ve been needing to get off my butt more and just discovered some great, reasonably priced activities:
- Valencia Street Muscle & Fitness: an old school locally owned, neighborhood gym. straight out of the 80’s. we’re talking the ‘original’ lifecycles and treadmills. the Apple gym is great when i have a break at work, but for some reason i can’t really get into working out there.
- Yoga Tree SF: supposedly a great place to practice (not that i have, at all), and it’s like 2 blocks away. i’m taking a vinyasa class in 30 mins.
- Dance Mission: according to yelp, this is a great place for dance lessons of all kinds. i’m tasked with learning to salsa before our wedding, so this is the place.
most importantly, they’re all available at night so i can still attend during the weekdays.
