Good distraction while running: video screen of music videos where I still have my own music on and don't have to hear the terrible music.
Bad: Which causes me to forget that I should be pacing myself and to therefore stand on the front of the treadmill and nearly fall over.
For some reason the gym today was full of people I haven't seen in there before, VERY VERY VERY Lift Bro Hipsters (moustache, dorito shape, hipster tattoos) and some Very Clearly Gay teenagers and it was confusing and upsetting so I went and made myself sweat horribly so that I didn't have to contemplate the fact that I am a revolting sweaty potato.
I have new glasses though. Lindsay is ill, Jess is ill, neither of them will talk to me about anything other than how ill they are and I am bored by this; Sam has arrived from Finland bringing a) emergency size (20cl) mintuu for when I can drink again and b) a big tin containing two bags of Tom of Finland coffee and as such she is now MY FAVOURITE PERSON.
Sunday is Day of Rest but also Day of CNY Parade so that should be a nice end to the work week; Monday I'm going to see Moonlight with Ruthi, Tuesday we're doing Ersatz Birthday for Jess because Linds and I are working on her birthday and so is she, Wednesday I'm visiting Doug, Thursday I'm going for dinner with
lanyon, Friday is Setsubun so I should probably do something about that, Saturday Sam comes back from visiting Sal in the North and there are tentative plans for Duckie (I CAN BULLY SOMEONE TO COME DANCING, WOOOO), Sunday is possibly Pulp on Ice depending on the tickets. [and I'm getting my teeth seen to somewhere in there too].
