I Want Something Weird To Happen

I want some big unexpected thing to happen, like a big storm or freezing weather or some big event in the city I live in. Big events can be catalysts for a mindset change, a push out of a normal boring routine.

A vacation might also do this, and I'm long overdue for a vacation, but I can't book one yet until I hear back about a certain thing going on.

This happens a lot, where I feel stuck in a current routine that drains my motivation over time. Currently what is helping is my 5k training plan, but once that is over I'm not sure what next thing might hold my attention. It's definitely weird that today is a "rest" day in the plan but I feel ready to go train right now. Running is something I almost always dread.

Some sort of catalyst would help me also refocus on my digital garden, and actually implement some of the newer ideas I've been blogging about.
