Today was a little better. Even though I broke the glass on a picture first thing this morning. And, even though when we got home and found the crock pot meal that was cooking totally sucked. The day was a little better. Off to Subway I went for a non-crock-pot-sucky meal.
Run was pretty good. Felt fast the whole time even though 9:22 isn’t really that fast. Compared to the recent 10:00+ paces it’s very fast. Bundled up too–long sleeve underarmor, long sleeve t-shirt, and sweatshirt. This helped even though the arms felt heavy. The Subway 6″ veggie I had for dinner never quite sat right during the run. I’ll have to speak to them about making an exercise-friendlier sandwich for me next time. (I don’t know what that could possibly be, but it’s worth a try.)
You know all this blog-reading and posting really cuts into book reading time. I may have to find the audio version of my book–but then that feels like cheating. And I don’t want to do that. I’m just not MAKING enough time to read paper. Readin’ too many pixels.
How could tomorrow be better? If I don’t have any meetings at work, if the two computers I have to roll out roll out smoothly, if I can take my dog to the groomer’s and have her nails clipped (they are the loooongest they’ve ever been, and I’m a horrible owner for letting them get that way). They’re so long that even after I have them clipped, they’ll still be too long. If I can throw just one thing out of my basement. Each day. One thing. Then maybe it’ll get done. If I can take the picture sans glass to the hardware store down the street and they say “Sure, we can cut a heart-shaped piece to fit that for you! And it’ll be really cheap, too!” If at least a few of these things can happen then the day should be fine. Luckily we get to go to James & Kellie’s tomorrow for dinner, so that should be fun. Maybe Morgan will blow raspberries at me.
