These are my daily rants, stories, and what not.

Upcoming and Ongoing

meisajDaily Life

So a few things are upcoming and ongoing.

  1. School’s almost done (although I’ll be working throughout June)
  2. Running.  Sam has started C25k and as part of that when she goes out for her workout three times a week (right now) I go out for a 20 – 25 minute run.  Running in my Vibram’s feels slower than running in other shoes, but my bunion doesn’t hurt so I’m ok with that.
  3. Bike fixing.  A part of my bike broke off the other day.  So I’m ordering a new part, new cables and wiring it all up myself.  Kind of fun.
  4. Drawing.  Pat asked me to sketch out a few ideas for a logo for a yearly get together with friends he goes to.  It’s fun.
  5. Weekday Vegetarian.  I read a short book on being a vegetarian during the week, and then eating whatever you want on weekends.  It seems interesting, and I like interesting things, and if I can be a vegetarian and still get my buffalo wings on occasion I’ll be happy.
  6. On that front, Reggie is going back to fasting one day a week.  It seems beneficial (at least Reg spouts the benefits… he still needs to send me the research), so I’m thinking of starting that soon.  Again, would be interesting.
  7. Last.fm I’ve switched to Last.FM from Pandora (although I still listen to the comedy station at Pandora).  I just like their recommendations better.  Plus Patrons of Sweet came on.

Rain

“And for no reason that rain that fell, that normal, typical rain felt cleansing.

And I slept better that night than I had in a long.”

Late night inner monologues are weird.

I had a dream….

I had a dream that Mim and I were on some sort of road trip in my father’s old car. It was night and we were on a country highway. Mim was driving and I was reading on my Kindle.

I mentioned how I was going to nap, but we couldn’t get the dome light to shut off, only dim. I closed my eyes for a second and the car veered. Mim said she was nodding off and I agreed to drive when we pulled over. Before that could happen the dash board lights started to flash. The check engine light came on, and the gas light came on but then went back off. Before anything else happened the whole dashboard went dark and we were just about to drive into a small town.

So that was that dream.

I had a second one where I was hiking in the woods and there was a river gorge (not a deep one) right next the path I was hiking on. A little down the river gorge a lion and a bear were wrestling. An older lion was sitting in a chair judging their wrestling match. It was weird.

Follow my lead…

When you a blister on your foot from running… Pop it and drain it.

When a second on appears right underneath the first… Pop that one too.

When it then is just a flap of skin hanging off your foot, just cut it off.

It will sting when you take a shower though.

Early Morning

meisajDaily Life

I’ve been trying to push up my wake up time lately.  Not for any reason in particular.  But for my own benefit.  I thought I could get more done in the morning.

So I woke up half an hour ago, at 5:45.  So far I made coffee (one mug for right now, travel mug for on the way to work), made lunch (turkey and cheese wrap, with lettuce and light dressing, two apples, and a small bag of sun chips), ate a banana, drank a cup of juicy juice (soooo good), scooped cat poop and took a shower.

Now I’m updating my blog (obviously) and reading the news while listening to NPR.  Getting my ass out of bed 15 minutes early apparently gets me into productive mode.
