This morning I worked out for the first time since before Christmas. Everything’s been insane since then. I am resolving that today will be the pivot between insanity and routine. (And isn’t it telling that I place those in opposition.) It felt good, though it did not make me feel strong like it used to. It made me feel wimpy and a little angry that I let it slip so long. I know it comes back quickly, though.
Afterwards I enjoyed a spoonful of extra-crunchy peanut butter. There’s something so decadent about it straight from the jar. The way it melts on the tongue. Lovely easy bit of protein after exercising.
I was planning to seal my other kitchen shelving right after lunch, but in the process of making lunch I a) discovered my oven isn’t working, and b) flooded my apartment with a bunch of gas. Luckily it’s not terribly cold old — 32F right now, apparently — so I’m sort of enjoying sitting in front of the open windows in my moose slippers watching the traffic pass. I’ve been trying to find a way to justify going to the coffee shop across the street for ice cream, but I had ice cream for my mom’s birthday last night and we’ll be going out again later this week to properly celebrate, once Mel and Travis are back from Vegas. Plus it’s not really ice cream weather. I’ve been wanting to try the coconut, though, because it appears to have whole nilla wafers crumbled into it and it looks divine.
Okay. Curtain rod time.
