begone, inertia!

we moved countries this month, which has disrupted many of our normal routines. including, but not limited to: going to the gym 3x a week, me booking swedish tutoring sessions, and of course, writing this blog. 

that wouldn't be so bad, except that we're also heading to japan for two weeks. which means, if we let it, this could become a weeks-long break from many of those routine tasks. 

my sage and practical fiancé managed to get us in the gym yesterday, so we've been marked safe from a month-long absence there. his reasoning was that even one within those weeks would be better for maintenance than a complete break—though he did say it wouldn't be the end of the world to have an extended break. 

but i felt it prudent to follow his advice. i could already feel the inertia building, and the emotional friction creeping up each passing day. 

so here i am, doing the same for my blog. i can feel the hesitation lingering ever so slightly longer each day. when i'm in the swing of things, my internal "what if i skip today" voice only has the mic for a few seconds, then my fingers take over and i just start typing. 

the longer i don't write any post at all, the longer that voice holds the mic each day, and the less likely i am to break through the inertia and get up any post at all. 

so here's my post!
