It's amazing how coming out of a heat wave can make an 89 degree day like today seem an ice cold paradise. Had some sweet bicycle riding the past 16 hours. Bless that little rain storm's heart ( Read more... )

Ah, spring weather, how I missed you! Finally got back to riding my bike to work today. It's funny. Just a couple weeks without riding it and it suddenly becomes a real workout again. Feels good though.

As people have been reminding me, it's been ages since I've posted anything, just three posts in five weeks. I've been busy at work, catching up on things that built up during vacation. And I've been slowly sinking into a depression since coming home. I'm become thoroughly unmotivated and am spiraling into anhedonia ( Read more... )

First K. and I were both tormented by crazy dreams and bad sleep last night and then the ride to work was literally insane. I swear there were ten times as many bad aggressive drivers on the road this morning as there usually are. And it's not even a full moon! Is there some other meteorological or astrological explanation?

Somehow the wind managed to be against me the entire way to work today. Tough ride. And it doesn't help that Daylight Savings has set me back on my old course of staying up too late and not getting enough sleep. I think I better add an "S" to my goal tracker. Did pretty well on everything else though yesterday, even managing to turn off the ( Read more... )

Ugh... after two weeks of gorgeous Spring weather, this morning's cold rain is really kicking my mood's ass. I found it nearly impossible to get out of bed this morning. Must focus on how nice the past weekend was, riding around town under sunny skies in t-shirt and shorts ( Read more... )

Well, with the rain trapping me in the house Saturday, I really should have gotten some writing done, but my laziness got the better of me. All I really accomplished was picking up K. from work and going grocery shopping. Sunday, I trained my eye on the sky and as soon as the rain let up, I kissed K. goodbye while she diligently constructed ( Read more... )

Saw Alice in Wonderland Saturday and thought it was all right. It definitely looked beautiful and I was glad that Burton resisted his natural urge to make Wonderland needlessly dark. It was well-acted for the most part, although Johnny Depp didn't do a thing for me, especially when his Mad Hatter inexplicably turned into Mel Gibson's Braveheart ( Read more... )

When I stepped on the scale yesterday, I was surprised to see that despite my winter of poor eating and little physical exercise, I had actually lost weight, down five pounds to 225. It's probably just muscle weight sadly, although K. says my sides are slimmer. Maybe my body responds better to a high meat diet than I give it credit for as long as ( Read more... )

Miserable weather is at least good for self reflection. I apologize if this boring to read, but it helps me

Of the four things that I need to change in my life right now, only one, riding my bike to work again, is even remotely outside of my control and even with that I realize I'm somewhat using weather as an excuse to be lazy. I also need to ( Read more... )
