[and yet i really do not want to be at work today.]
one: i've been riding my bike to campus (six miles round trip, uphill both ways!) almost every day for two months now, and i'd been starting to feel a little discouraged that i wasn't seeing any payoff, either in muscle tone or weight loss. but two things changed my mind this weekend; thing a being that the first words the boy said to me when he got off the plane were, "you got skinny". since he is particularly unobservant when it comes to my physical appearance (another conversation we had this weekend went like this: he said, "did you get your hair cut?" and i said, "yeah, two weeks ago, when i was in chicago"), i can only assume that maybe i am starting to lose weight and/or gain muscle tone that makes it appear as though i am losing weight. woo! and thing b that brought this home was that yesterday, after a particularly sedentary weekend, i drove to campus after dropping the boy at the airport - and then last night, i couldn't fall asleep because my body was cranky and stiff and lazy. apparently i have gotten used to getting regular exercise. go figure.
two: when i did finally manage to fall asleep last night, i had weird nyquil induced dreams all night, things like elaborate sentinel/stargate: atlantis crossover dreams. on the weirdness scale of one to joe flanigan being eaten by a crazy fly-woman, they were about a four, but even so: i've never even seen an episode of the sentinel.
three: in the last couple of weeks, i've gotten packages in the mail from bear, serialkarma and febrile! i suck and haven't emailed y'all to tell you thank you and i love you and yay, but consider it said, and h., that replacements boot is fucking amazing. thank you double.
four: last night i found this webcomic called penny and aggie. either you know immediately why this is hilariously funny and you just snorted coffee out your nose and possibly you are sjdr, or you're going to miss out on the joke, and for that i apologize, but i'm still not going to explain.
five: it is november and i am wearing flip-flops and tomorrow it is supposed to be eighty-one degrees here. november! flip-flops! eighty-one degrees! oh, research triangle, sometimes i hate living here, but the weather is never why.
