34 days to Tampa.
45 days to Vancouver.

Q: how do you make decisions?

since the accident (now 3 weeks and a day ago), i've been given time (and lots of it) to think about my choices in life.

decisions.

when you're younger, you never thought about decisions and the consequences of actions. you'd eat an ice cream bar because it was yummy. now, you think about eating an ice cream bar before you actually take a bite into one and sometimes contemplate the calories you'd be consuming or the number of lunges you'd need to do to work it off. well, i don't calorie count - but the idea is there. maybe thinking about the consequences of your decisions is the point where you become an adult in life, because we all know of someone who at their age should know better but don't.

this is what i do know:
adrian flips a coin. always.
sam writes a list - pros and cons.
steph asks her mother.
lindsey calls her friends.

and i...? i tend to make decisions that'll benefit the other parties involved. i know it's terrible, and i apparently are sometimes nice to a fault (says adal).

but when faced with a menu in a restaurant, i have ideas and only make my decision when the waiter asks the table and i spout something randomly. and that's what i'm eating! i just thought about bringing that process of "whatever my mouth says first" decision making to the rest of my choices, but i realise that that might be a bad idea. i can deal with a bad meal, but a bad anything else? not so much.

i ask the question, how do you make decisions?, today because for starters i've been thinking a lot about it - and the fact that i have been given the time to do so begs another questions - what do people do with their free time? i can only do so much physio workouts a day. and i finished a 750 piece jigsaw puzzle in less than 6 hours yesterday. i was hoping that the puzzle would tide me over for the rest of the week. no such luck.

then again, i'm real lucky. and that's another story for another day.

i would write my day away, but that might not be as productive as sitting in front of the tv or munching on a chocolate hedgehog from purdy's.

A: i'm not sure yet. let me get back to you on this one.
