Today has been an amazingly, blissfully lazy day.
I took Saturday and today as a break from the gym. Tomorrow begins my new work schedule. I will be going to the gym in the morning for either a spin class or a strength class. In the evenings I will go to the dojo for at least two hours. So that’s three hours of training basically. Saturdays will most likely be my rest days, and Sunday will be my run days again. A light workout before hitting the week hard again.
That’s the game plan at least, and my schedule totally supports it. I’ll have to see how my body does with the shock of getting thrown into the fray again since it’s been so long since I’ve had a workout routine that intense.
I was able to sleep in today. I woke up when Zane came into the room. I guess he fell asleep on the couch last night while he was playing his game after work. I went to bed shortly after we got home.
He said he had a bad dream, and we talked about it for a bit before falling back to sleep together. I woke up again, and I remember Zane made some comment about me getting up. I mumbled something to the affect that yeah, I was going to get up, but rolled over and slept for another three hours. Honestly I don’t know if it was three, but it felt like a couple REM cycles. It felt good.
We both got up after that. I made breakfast with coffee. <3
He went back to his game and I started a new cross stitch.
We talked to Trevor about the moving in idea. He’s fine with it. He would want something like $200 for rent, which would be $50 in savings. He’s cool with Scarlet. He is interested in the storage unit and offered to help pay for it if he does use it. Really the only thing now is to talk to John and to see if he’s ok with it, which I think he will be. We seem to get along and I’m there all the time, so I can’t see why it would be an issue for him.
So that was nice. One less thing on my mental plate.
After a little while I went back and took a nap because even though I slept, it was a hard sleep rather than a deep sleep. It was one of those sleeps where you wake up and feel like you’ve been trying to cuddle a brick wall all night. Or maybe a concrete floor would be more accurate because I was horizontal rather than vertical… I digress.
After the nap I felt way better. I went back to cross-stitching. I showered eventually. I asked Ashley about a few things that Jeremy is trying to get rid of. He has a bunch of dragon stuff, a lamp, a little chest, odds and ends type stuff for a room that Zane was interested in. Jeremy doesn’t want it any more, and since Zane thought it was cool we thought maybe we could take it for the room. I wanted to check with Ashley to make sure she didn’t want anything. Of course she does, though. In fact she only wants the things I think are cool, so that’s a little annoying, but over all it’s fine. At least that too is done and out of the way.
I talked to Joshua as well since I was supposed to get my vacuum from him today. I guess he’s still cleaning out the apartment though. I told him he could hold onto it until he was done. Since I don’t work until Wednesday and even that is at 5am, I could pick it up whenever he needed me to.
After that bit of adulting I went back to cross stitching and listening to the story line of Zane’s game. It’s pretty interesting and he doesn’t mind answering my questions when I have them. He lets the dialog play through so I can listen to the conversations and stay current with the story rather than skipping it because he can read faster than the audio and play.
Currently I’m at my house spending some time with Scarlet. The flea medication seems to be working. I brushed her really well the other day and got a lot of the iciness out of her fur.
She’s glad to see me. I missed having her curled up next to me while I was stitching. That was our thing when I lived with Joshua. I would sit on the love seat in the living room listening to my audio book and she would sit on the cushion next to me and sleep, because she’s a cat and that’s all she does…
But it was our thing, and I miss it. It would be nice to have that again.
I had to go to Walmart last night. I was planning on going to Publix, but dinner with Rhonda lasted from 6:30 until 11:30. No joke. I had no idea that she was leaving in the morning to move back to Georgia.
We talked about the moving situation. We talked about her resume. We talked about the anxiety I get when posting new content online. All sorts of stuff. It was really good, but left me completely, totally drained.
But I had said I would pick up bread, and I needed eggs and cheese, and protein shakes. So off to Walmart it was.
While I was there I got a new pair of pants and a top.
Zane had mentioned how I don’t really wear girly stuff. I wear athletic tops that show my shoulders, and I always wear the same three bottoms for work. I have a super nice pair of dress pants that I wear for graduation, but they’re not an ‘everyday’ item. Other than that I have athletic shorts that I wear when I’m at home or when I have to run errands.
It wasn’t a comment that was eating away at me, but it did make me stop and think about why I have an aversion to girly things. I think most of it had to do with when I dated Warren and some of the comments he made to me.
So while I was at the store I looked around and I found a pair of pants that I really like. They are long and baggy, like gauchos. They’re more form fitting at the waist but are super loose and flowy around the ankles which I love. The material is super lightweight and thin which is perfect for Florida. They’re black so they match all of my tops that I currently own. I might actually go back and get a second pair. I tried the gray ones on, but it’s a light gray so I didn’t really care for them.
The top is lose fitting and reminds me of a gypsy top. It’s blue so it’s adding color to my wardrobe. Light weight, again. Not overly girly. More like reserved feminine. I like it, but it’s new, and a different style than what I have been wearing almost exclusively for the past months, so I’m still weary of it. We’ll see if I bond with it more.
I’m about to head back to Zane’s. On the way I’m going to be picking up pizza to avoid a delivery fee. Super lazy day. Not even going to cook dinner. And I’m totally ok with paying for that convenience.
Most likely going to stitch more when I get back. Then work on my Pathfinder character so we can finally get her sheet done. Cherru, my character, has a worg companion that we need to create a sheet for as well. I was thinking of buying a stuffed animal to represent him in the game since I’ll be talking to him… telepathically most of the time since we’re both half-fiends, but yeah. I thought it would be cute and help me be able to play both characters properly to have a prop of some sort that represented him.
I still need to think of a name…
So that’s my Sunday so far. Totally soaking up all of the laziness while I can.
Tomorrow it’s back to being a lean-mean-killer-death-machine. /flex
