Grandma
This is tougher than I thought it would be. I’m glad I have the ‘going away’ dress you made for mom (it’s nice to think of your hands making that), but it’s hard to think of your house without you. I’m glad to remember when you sat down on the patio and made play-doh butterflies, but mostly I just miss you and wish I’d visited more recently, talked with...
Gonna ignore the world for the next four days. Seeya Tuesday!
I dressed up nicely today… and a bee pooed on me. I didn’t know that was a thing one could worry about. Birds, sure. But bees?
It looked like mustard. :/
I'm in a slump.
No cleaning, no exercising. I’m getting up in the morning, though, and going to work and that’s something.
Home with a cold. Naturally, today they’re doing roof work on the apartment. Blaaaargh.

Sleepy
Woke up, showered, felt like something was off, like there was some step I’d missed, something that usually prompted the getting up and showering.
Yeah, it was 4am. Oops. -_-

I tried to name ‘Lucia Di Lammermoor’ this afternoon and thought ‘Lucretia’ instead of ‘Lucia’ and now I feel a little silly. I wanted to blame it on watching The Addams Family this weekend… then I remember that character is ‘Leticia’ so I just failed another cultural reference. -_-
Time for Thor w/Rifftrax in preparation for Avengers tomorrow morning. :D

Encephalitis - if this is what the NFL breeds, it’s time to recognize that this is modern gladiatorial combat on a glacial scale. No less cruel, no less wrong. Cruel mental death before death. The players, the families, are tortured, this is wrong. :(
Here’s a first world problem for you - This morning I forgot my headphones and finished my book on the bus. Now I’m going to have to ride the bus with no entertainment. Life’s rough, man.

Re-Animator The Musical was every bit as awesome as I remembered. It’s in LA now, then on to New York in July.
SEE IT!

Couch to 5K - week 3, day 3
When I started C25K I made it my goal just to get through week 3. See, running has always seemed this alien thing that those… y’know… fit people do. Not me. Definitely not me. I figured three weeks was doable, even with my lack of confidence and history of knee and ankle problems.
Today I did it!
So I’m feeling good. I’m thinking this running thing might be...

For dinner, vegan paninis, potato leek soup, and a simple salad of lettuce dressed with mashed avocado and lemon juice. Also beer.
All is right with the world.
