This is going to be a brief post since my brain is puttering long on fumes. I guess I used all of my mental energy this morning when I first woke up.
I was sort of productive today. More so than I thought I would be.
I went back to sleep until around 9ish this morning. I got up, had breakfast, but didn’t really have much drive.
I figured out the back stitching for Joey’s gift, so now I just need to sit down and do it. I plan to stitch, “True love isn’t just a fairytale,” across the top with “Joe and Katy November 22nd 2014,” across the bottom.
I got “fairytale,” and “isn’t,” done. I don’t think I’m going to work on it further today.
It’s hard to believe that it’s Wednesday already. Where did the week go?
I got a rough block out for the travel poster done. I’m going to be doing Alaska. Everyone has been super nice about my last assignment even though I didn’t like it; mostly because I wasn’t able to finish it.
I’m hoping to do better with this one.
It’s been surprisingly cold here. You would think Florida is always super sunny and warm, and normally it is, which is one of the reasons I love living here. Right now it’s freezing though. And I’m wondering if that is factoring into why I have been a little down.
Maybe it’s not depression, just low energy from a lack of heat. Which I’m leaning more towards now.
I spent a long time standing under the hot water of my shower. Not only was it a bit of a spiritual cleanse, it was also warm. So that helped get me moving. Maybe I am more reptilian than I know. Maybe I have to have warmth in me to get anything done.
Either way, I ended up going to the gym. I started out walking the track, then I rowed for a while. After that I did the elliptical rather than running so my shins could get a break.
Overall it was a really good workout. I walked the track a few more times to cool off before doing some yoga to keep my legs and back stretched out.
I stayed in the sauna for a while. It was so warm, and dark because I switched the light off. When I’m in there alone like that I think of it as my dragon den. I zone out and just bask in the warmth and my music.
I didn’t want to leave, but I still had grading to get through, so eventually I pulled myself out so I could shower, which was another lengthy ordeal of just standing under hot water.
Even now, I’m bundled up in sweat pants and a long sleeve shirt and I’m still cold. So lame… I miss summer’s heat.
I got the grading done and submitted everything to Clavan.
I poked around on WordPress for a little bit, and replied to all of the posts for my class.
I’m about to go to sleep so I can wake up at 4am for work. That’s after I finish my chocolate green tea. It’s warm, so it’s amazing. <3
I didn’t get around to the chores I wanted to do, and I really don’t feel bad about it. I did everything that was legit on my do-do list, so no bad feelings. I even took the time to stitch a little bit.
So yeah… Not a whole lot today. Small steps forward.
I have my lists for tomorrow already set up, but since it’s another early day with roughly 4 hours of sleep I’ve made it kind of light again. We’ll see how it goes.
Goodnight for now.
