Excercise Log - Running Nostalgia
I ran/walked my favorite path today, watched the sunset and the waves and the fire jugglers and people walking dogs. Particularly full of memory, I remember long ago running along this path in an ill prepared for half marathon. A little more recently, walking, talking and pretending to run with my good friend who moved and who I miss very much.
Took about eighty minutes of hard walking and some jogging. About right for 6 miles. Feels good, and I am going to start doing this at least three times a week. And every time I will do one more set of stairs!

Seventy-six Hours...
...of work this week between my two jobs. Ow. Next week, only seventy. After that, a relieving fifty.
Office job is in hospitality but has a high probability for at least my level of gothy.
Manual labor job is getting old. OLD I tell you. A few weeks more and I can quit.
Sadness. Breaking up with boyfriend Sunday or Monday. Love him, but not enough to make the space in my life to keep him. I could say "plenty of other fish" but for now I'm putting away my rod n' reel, and focusing on adventure.
Self inventory is about to happen. First step is easy. I am going to simply record physical locations, order and dates.
Funny about synchronicity. I asked the universe for a few more strong and unique female role models. They have manifested.
Also have manifested: Trees, a larger room with a less shared bathroom, shelves and more kitchen use, more skinny-ness, perfectly priced exercise hoops, a running partner, and a great feeling of well-being.
On the list: More money than I can use, clear, pale, perfect skin, a higher degree of skinny-ness, tidiness in my areas, a few certain pairs of shoes, a pair of black pants cut long enough to wear my four inch BCBG heels with, a few more discussion partners, platonic cuddle buddies of any gender closer than my current ones, more JOY!!!, and more.
I will be putting together a board with pictures of stuff and things I want, and be deciding about some of the more important things, like jobs, partner(s?), car, education, living space, ect. I've been writing stories about stuff in my life I'd like to see and experience.
Right now, my life feels right. I'm making the choices that feel good, that I feel good about, and I feel like everything is coming together.

Hoooops
So, I am slightly ashamed of my bloggery drivel when I read someone who writes good, interesting content, in part because I also could write at least a little better. Then I read someone else's blog and feel much, much less bad about my own.
In other news! I am a hooooper now! It needed extra ohs, because it is just oh so fun. My favorite video is this one, partially because I saw it first and can say it started the obsession.
I am not yet that good. I went to a class to try it, and my amazing teacher got me doing amazing right away - now I just have to practice up and learn some tricks :)
This man makes me smile. Doesn't he seem like a nice guy?
