Making the Most of Spare Time

This afternoon I find myself with a spare hour and am not quite sure what to do with it. I want to be productive and active (sitting and writing my blog is not active). My neighbors keep bringing over treats and I can't help but sample them. Sure I could plop down on the couch and watch a movie or show while I gorge myself on candy, cookies, and other various Christmas goodies, but that is not a good way to prepare for all the food I will eat in the next week or so.

I could go tune another pair of skis. That at least keeps me active as it is a lot of work walking back and forth the length of the skis. I might not get a lot of miles traveled but I do get a fair share of steps. Unfortunately tuning skis makes a mess and I have already cleaned myself up for the day. I guess I'll pass on that.

I could go through my Christmas list and make sure everyone is shopped for and gifts are wrapped. Well, I actually did that yesterday and did not see anything forgotten. Everything is wrapped nicely and ready to go under the Christmas tree. My son even sent me the clue I am supposed to give my grandkids letting them know they will be going to Orlando in February. We should have a great time. 

I could go for a walk but that is what I will be doing in an hour anyways. No need to double up on that. Besides, I spent the morning skiing at Alta with all of the skiers that decided to go to my ski area instead of staying at Park City as there is no snow there. There is enough to keep one run open but with the hoards of people trying to ski the same run, it is probably chaotic.

I have checked in with my parents and offered condolences as they had to put their dog down yesterday after a good 19-year run with the pet. Needless to say they are besides themselves with grief. I understand as I thought it to be a particularly bad day when my wife had to put our dog down. That is why I checked in on them.

I supposed I could go clean the bathrooms in the house but my wife did that earlier today while she needed to kill some time. We also worked together to take out the garbage as the garbage men will arrive tomorrow and we want to make room for all of the Christmas wrapping paper. 

Writing in my blog is not that active but it did take 10 whole minutes to put this together. Now I only have to fill 50 minutes. What to do? What to do?
