May not….




It may not be the end you wanted to the night.  It isn’t a good ending by any means, but it’s not a bad ending either.  It’s just an ending.  One of many possible endings to the day.  And you know what… you made it home.  And if you don’t look forward to getting home then home is a problem.

So enjoy the ending to the day.  Tomorrow is another one.  And who knows how the night will end tomorrow.

Soul Rising

I’m not sure who I was dreaming about, or what I was dreaming about. But in my dream someone handed me a drawing on a small scrap of paper and said “There it is….That’s it.”

When I asked what it was he said “That’s the soul.”

That’s all I remember from my dream, but it was a good one. I think.

Firefly

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t take the sky from me…
~Ballad of Serenity

Focus on me

I’ve decided to enter a “focus on me” phase.

All things aside here is the plan:

a) up the amount of sleep I’m getting nightly from 5 – 6 hours a night to 7 – 8 hours a night.  This might be tough.  It means getting into bed before 11 pm.  I can’t remember the last time I’ve done that on a regular basis.  I’ll probably settle for close to 7 hours a night.

b) Cleaning the apartment.  Last November I kept the apartment essentially spotless for about month.  The plan is too never leave the house with a dirty dish in the sink, vacuum twice a week or more, do 1 load of laundry a week, and make my bed daily.  It’s not impossible, its just a matter of getting it to that level of clean first.

c) Some sort of exercise, physical relaxation, or exertion on a daily (weekday daily) basis.  Aiming for 20 minutes or so.  Whether its a run (unlikely til my schedule evens out), push ups and sits up nightly, some sort of psx-90 (thank you pat) routine, or just 20 minutes of yoga and stretching and whatever on the wii fit; it’s exercise for relaxing, not for getting in better shape.

That’s the plan.  Its not a bad one.  And not a hard one.  Pre-gaming this week (cleaning and laundry and getting a new sleep schedule), and implementation next week starting Monday.
