I stayed in this weekend. Don't tell anyone. I did absolutely nothing other than lounge about playing Xbox, watching TV and while I thought it might be a great time to play about on my PC, I couldn't find my rhythm. Never mind I thought. I did eventually go to the gym on Sunday. Actually I had a hell of a time : I worked out and then went for a further run. Was reading last night that there is a train of thought that this burns fat as ones glycogen stores are already depleted. I didn't know this at the time but hey. It's not proven science but it makes sense. I was pretty tired, jogged liked a one legged drunk. I hobbled.
I was thinking about how Christmas is just around the corner and the extraordinary relief that there is no risk of stress for me, well not that I know of anyway. Point I'm making is that since I've started living Solo, I've been less inclined to have to do stuff, especially stuff I don't really want to do. And it's being able to deliver this to fruition that's awesome and perhaps selfish but hey, know ones living my life but me and I may as well to what I want! The time for being guilty for who you are and what you want is past.
Got a good quote sent to me by my mom via email. Which indicates two things right off the bat. One, yes that's an email from my mom who has apparently given into becoming the hippest granny since, well forever and is handling her blackberry with intriguing finesse. The other thing is that it probably means that it's probably a good quote she's sending me. According to her, Bertrand (Arthur William) Russel, 3rd Earl Russel said:
"The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible; and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly than hostile".
That's pretty right methinks, and mostly you can't go too wrong agreeing with someone who has been quoted. But really, two rules in life I have that relate to this is: Always be polite and don't be rude. Never mind the time, situation or whatever never be rude and always be polite. It will you feel better. And you will be better for it.
Besides that, I received another wedding invite. As I said once before, these are in at the moment. Want some more intriguing news? Well, there is the I change I made recently to my cereal - to the non-sugar variety and boy must the sugar variety been pumping the sugar in because now it tastes like flour, with a couple of homeless raises thrown in for good measure. That said, the new Almond milk in pretty great stuff. Oh and I also rekindled my love for the film, Captain something and his mandolin. Great film. This was watched during the great unmovement of Saturday. Pretty good. I also watched The Thing, but lost confidence in it as soon as the frozen thing unfroze eat the dog.
I avoided the outside for most of the weekend, except I did venture outside to get warmer...bizarre right? Well I ran out of gas and that sucked, so I trotted rather happily down the road in my new cosy coat and topped up. After that it must had an semi-severe impact on me as I didn't touch the outside until my Sunday stumble to the gym and subsequent run home. I tell you, I had the best weekend in weeks!!l
The thing about life is, and this has been said before, is that life happens while you are busy planning it. It gets me stop and think about my life and how I'm planning it and am I ok with it right now or am I saying my life will be ok when this or that comes true or is reached in the future? Planning seems at times is like a deception, a warp of your sense of time and a stop gap to represent all that isn't good right now but gives us pleasure knowing that its probable or destined to be,according to us, in the future and as such we loose sight of the present.
I did order a body fat monitor at the weekend and I was explaining to someone yesterday during my lunch break how useful it would be for calibrating how ones diet, exercise and routine are contributing to fat loss etc. I was expecting to arrive yesterday as I paid for guaranteed delivery but frustratingly it didn't arrive as should have according to the estimate. It's a small matter. But thinking about it, on principle it's frustrating as I paid extra to get it on a specific day which was a non run day. Goes to show of expectation setting can, no matter how small the matter, when not met can really bother you. I'll have to run home it today. Should be ok, bit clunky but it should be fine: It's only a handheld like a Xbox controller.
