Shades Down
It's how I've come to enjoy staying indoors. Given how I used to spend much of my days wandering about outside or gardening, I've changed a bit.
Now it tends to be a bit too much. The light, the sounds, the smells--the artificial environment of my house is much more comforting. I look outside and feel safer.
Yesterday I biked home from work after an event. It was cool and past ten o'clock. The emptiness of the streets, the chilliness, and the length of my bike-ride took me back to when I went to a salsa-lesson event in downtown campus. I used to bike more, and at times like that it was a necessity due to all that is wonky with the bus. That day there was a basketball game that sort of shut down the lines in that part of the city. Naturally, I handled it with ease.
The following day I played Dungeons and Dragons.

Partway home yesterday I noticed the street that I so often might take via bus to reach Hypatia's. I wondered, what if I took that road and kept on going?
My goal of biking to Madison will have to wait another year I think, but the next off-day from school I know where I am going.
I go straight from work to school, with errands to run off the bat. Among them is that I have to get lab-work of some sort done. The receptionist at the doctor's office was under the impression that I was some moron for not being totally aware of this. She shared a similar attitude about how my prescription never arrived at the pharmacy.
Honestly, she can go eat a horse dick.

I haven't jogged as much this year. I often would claim that biking to and from work made it so that jogging could be forgotten for the day.
I'm not sure what convinced me of such stupidity.
Laziness. Of course.
I've at least gotten a certain variety of exercises in.
Tough Mudder is doable for me, but I won't shine as much as I could have.
