Last Night: My husband and I went to a get together with some of his softball buddies. It was a nice little house in the middle of nowhere, but when we got there everyone had clearly started drinking many hours prior to our arrival. So much for meeting new people and trying to actually branch out and have a conversation. We only stayed for a few hours, and the setting could only be described as a reclamation of their pre-graduate selves. The group was a mixed bag of ages which made the scene more alarming instead of less. Sssssslurring beer pong was the game of the evening - lovely, I didn't play in college, and I didn't play last night either.
Fitness: My plan for this morning was to put in a full double at the gym: Cardio-Kickboxing, then Yoga. Well, it didn't quite come to fruition. I never made it to kickboxing because I stayed up too late last night at the get together. So I settled for Yoga, then a 3 mile jog - not bad, I'm used to improvising.
Health: I am doing a 3 month full body; liver, kidney, and lymph detox. I started 4 weeks ago, at first it was crazy, but now it's eating normally. Weight lost so far - not even ONE pound - annoying.
Food & Drink: 2 cups of iced Yogi herbal tea, an egg white sandwich, and lots of water. Dinner was a steak salad, no bread or croutons, some strawberries, 3-1 inch cubes of watermelon, and 3-1 inch pie shaped pieces of pineapple. Yum! I was still craving something sweet so I splurged on a Luigi's Lemon Ice (100 calories), and that finished the meal perfectly.
Job Hunt: I looked through my emails to see what my searches brought in for the day - nothing, literally not one posting, so I started going through my list of specific websites looking as well and ....nothing. Now I realize it's Saturday, but usually I find something posted late on a Friday. So no researching, no targeted cover letter or tweaked resume, it was time to get to the life portion of the day.
Life: Chores I would say for the day. Mowing the lawn used to be novel when we first bought our house, but now it's just a chore that I try to do as quickly as possible. The yucca plants are blooming, the picture of the bloom - taken with my phone's camera is at the top of this writing. Then it was onto weeding the mulch beds, and trimming the longer grass at the edges of the property. After 3 hours, I was spent, dirty, and thirsty. Maybe this should have been my exercise for the day....
Tonight Shane went off to another friend's get together, I opted to stay home so I could write, and watch Ron White, then Lewis Black on TV. Good laughs if you get a chance to see them.
That's it for now. I hope you all had a fabulous Saturday, that is if anyone is reading this. I don't exactly know how I'm going to be shaping my writing, so I hope you'll stick with me while I figure it out.
- Nic
