FridayAt South Station, on the phone with Ari while waiting for my train, I gave money to a woman claiming to need bus fare up to Laconia.  I walk by people begging for change all over Harvard Square all the time and don't engage them AT ALL except for like a nod of the head or a "Sorry," even though I know I SHOULD, but sometimes I'll get ( Read more... )

ThursdayOn my way in to the office from the gym, I talked to Jen S. (who is apparently just back from maternity leave last week).  We talked about how I go to the gym every morning and how impressive that is and how going to the gym is a good thing AND WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT WEIGHT AT ALL.  She said she hasn't gotten back to the gym but she always ( Read more... )

It was pretty out this morning, snow covered.  It was more like rain when I walked to work (I didn't notice, except that my glasses were getting spotted and my hair falling wet in my face), and I wasn't a huge fan of the slush.  But my socks didn't get soggy enough for me to regret not having brought a pair of dry socks, and my hair managed to dry ( Read more... )

I went to bed at like 8:15 last night!  It was awesome.  And I didn't even notice my legs feeling tired as I walked to the T.  (I roughly timed my walk both to and from the T, and it was 25 minutes both times, which is weird to me since it's mostly uphill on the way home.)  And my elliptical time was actually like I'm what used to it being.  ( gym )

I like going to Singspiration to get to see various UCNers I'm fond of, and I don't actively dislike the music though I don't always love it ( Read more... )
