Sensitive Feet

meisajDaily Life

07212010AJCIs that a thing?

Cause if it is I think I may have sensitive feet.  I can’t stand walking around my apartment picking up dust and what not on the bottom of my feet.  It kills me to feel it on the bottom of my feet.  I have to take two steps and then dust off my feet, and then take two more steps and dust off my feet some more.

I end up just sweeping.  Our apartment is old.  As is our cat.  The apartment collects dust.  They cat scares himself when he uses the litter box and jumps out causing a mess.  Its a horrid cycle.

I know.  I should use slippers, or always wear socks, but I don’t want to.  I like being barefoot.  If I could be barefoot at work I would.

I wasn’t always like this.  I swear I wasn’t.  I used to go barefoot all over the place with no problems.  I walked around California for three summers barely wearing shoes.  I would walk around outside and up and down stairs barefoot never once caring what I was stepping in or what was on the bottom of my feet.   But now…. one pebble and I can’t continue walking.

We even bought a carpet for the bedroom, for my side of the bed, so I would walk on that last before bed and not have to wipe my feet before getting into bed.  It’s bad, I admit it.

I’m AJ, and I have sensitive feet.

Fleeting Thought

Maybe I’m getting old….

I just had that rare moment when I was reading an article on CNN, thought “I should google that,” about something that has nothing to do with or is only slimly related to what I’m reading; finished the article and realized I had no clue what I just wanted to look up.

It’s kind of sad.

An extra

meisajDaily Life

I didn’t intend to blog today.  But while scanning all my drawings from February 2012 I came along an extra drawing that I didn’t date.  But it must have been done either February 29th or March 1st.  But its a nice appropriate extra drawing, because it’s raining here right now.

Grasping at Straws

meisajDaily Life

02042012AJCI’m working my way up to having scanned all of my drawings.  In July I scanned almost 10 months of Daily Drawings and this weekend I scanned another month Daily Drawings. Today I got up and scanned another 14 Daily Drawings.  It has gotten me up to Valentine’s Day 2012.

That still leaves me a year and a half behind on scanning.  But I’m getting there.  It’s going to be a long process.  But I’ve been drawing more lately, and it makes me want to scan in more so that I can start my Daily Drawing uploads each evening.

Anyways… I’ve spent more time this last week reading, drawing and putting in ‘relaxing time’ into my day; including actually taking a lunch break at work.  It’s done wonders for me.  I forgot how much I loved reading a good book.  I forgot how much I loved drawing on a daily basis, like actually drawing… spending time on it instead a quick drawing.

It’s been good.  Next I’ll get back into biking.  Its been about two weeks since I biked.  Between wet weather, having to wear glasses (for 4 days before LASIK consultation) and general long work hours I haven’t gotten out for a ride in a while.  But I’ll get back on it this week.

So yes… I’m doing things I need to in order to be relaxed and happy.  Getting caught up on drawings, getting into a good routine with built in relaxing activities, staying in shape, and keeping the apartment clean (I threw the last one in as a far reaching goal).

That’s not grasping at straws is it?  I mean its really just an extension of my summer goals.  I’m still working on it.  Prioritizing and all.  And it’s working pretty well I think.

 

Robot Kisses

I hate shaving.

I mean really dislike shaving a lot.  As it is I only shave once every two weeks or so.  Even that I hate.  I’ve been contemplating this year about getting a safety razor, but then I realized that it would only mean spending more time shaving when I shaved.

So I decided to get an electric razor.  I haven’t bought one in just under a decade.  It’s old and doesn’t hold a charge.  It doesn’t shave well anymore and i’m not really interesting in buying a new blade for it.

So in my research I’ve found one electric razor that got high marks over and over again.  Gizmodo said it was like removing hair with robot kisses.  That sounds like the razor I want to use.

Use for less than 30 seconds a day.  Cause that’s how much facial hair I grow daily.

So I’m going with the Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D.  I found a pretty good deal on it too.

Let’s hope its removing facial hair with robot kisses for me too.
