Dread Pirate Bubba
Sometime soon, there will be cleaning of the toilet, before it comes to life and eats me. What does that have to do with piracy? I don't know, but if there was a pirate living in my toilet... I'm stopping that line of though before it goes anywhere.
It's nice to have a bit of vacation. I can do spring cleaning, and spend time trying not to stress out too much about the marathon this weekend.
It's weird that this run has become so important in my head, but when I think about it, I haven't worked so consistently on anything in a very long time. It's kind of a testament to having good habits, which is nice to think about it considering all my bad habits, particularly relating to time management. So I guess a lot is riding on a positive result time-wise, just because it will be the proof in my head that I can be consistent and that consistency pays off.
I still need to spread that consistency to other areas of my life.
I'm arguing with myself as to whether I should purchase an ipod shuffle. I'd be using it just for running, and I think they're only about $50, which hardly breaks the bank, especially after the economic stimulating by the current president. It's something I don't need, though -- my regular ipod is fine, just a little heavier. Funny to think about something that only weighs about 5 ounces as being too heavy... I'll probably resist, unless I spot one in a store somewhere and start drooling.
I have a bike now. More correctly, my bike is now at home where I can use it, except that I don't have a helmet or a lock. Finding/buying those two things may be the next step towards biking to work and maybe helping me lose the last 5-10 lbs. I half-heartedly told myself I'd dispose of before the end of June.
Money isn't an issue at all right now, but rising food prices are starting to annoy me. It's that things take root in my head as being worth a certain amount, and once the price rises beyond that amount, I pretty much no longer think they're worth buying, even though with a little mental adjustment they are. I guess I'll monitor my brain (sounds like I should stick in some electrodes) and have an intervention with myself if my diet gets either too boring or too unhealthy.
Speaking of which, a burger is calling my name right now. Life is good. :)
