Catch-Up

The great day I had yesterday caught up with me and I didn't spend much time on the computer, pondering what to write about. I've been spending a lot of time doing things I want to do, and if that involves watching a week's worth of General Hospital in one sitting while cuddling with Charley-dog, then so be it. But, that's not what happened yesterday.


After completing my first run/walk of 1.5 miles in 20 minutes, I also lifted a little 5lb weight for a few reps. Today, I completed 1.7 in 20 minutes, without lifting weights. I blame the dude hogging the only weight bench in the entire gym of my complex. They claim it's state-of-the-art, but I had better equipment back in college at the Rec Center.


Perusing a used bookstore is also a fun thing to do. I just grabbed a small stack of books and took them with me. I love hearing the total of store credit and then seeing what kind of semi-free damage I can make with the books I want or the books I find while in search of others. Sure, the store makes more money off of me and my new books than I would like, but I don't have any use for most of the books I read after I've read them. I've lent a few out with hope that I'll get those back soon and can take them in for more credit.


I even made dinner all by myself. This was a major feat. I marinated a pork chop for a few hours, then cooked it while I made redskin mashed potatoes and asparagus! It was so yummy. I have leftovers, but no pork chop since I only bought one at Whole Foods. LOVE that store - just wish it was a closer drive.


I also spent some time working on my vision book. NO, I haven't forgotten about it! Just so happens that the majority of the pictures I cut out from magazines were too large. I've got a small stack of magazines to go through, so that's my goal for tomorrow. That, and I would like to get a small start on work-related lesson plans. Just a little worried about that because of my co-workers, but I can't let that stop me from doing what I would like to in the art of teaching...


Day 10 of All Good Things: Having an entire day to myself, doing what I wanted to do, while accomplishing little. Some days it is all about relaxing and enjoying the day.

Day 11 of All Good Things: Have plans to go to a mexican dive restaurant with friends - I'm sure it'll be an eventful evening... love those friends!
