When people ask what I do instead of drinking these days, I often tell them that I learn. After messing with my brain cells so much, it’s time to be gentle and feed the brain with good stuff. Whether it’s picking up a new skill or researching a culture I don’t know enough about, there is so much out there to learn and develop; over time I’ve seen various skills complement each other in ways I never would have known about if I didn’t try. 

However, learning does come with it’s own issue- my overdue library books. One day I hope to learn how to get them back in time!
