When I ignore all the rest of the internets and possibly other parts of life that shouldn't be ignored, I always come back to you, LJ.
Life seems to have stopped moving past me at an imperceptible blur for a moment, which is neat. I'm all moved out of Southie and into Cambridge, which is super weird but it is what it is, I guess. Moving is hard, mostly because I continue to fail spectacularly at minimalism, but it's sort of over now except for all the kitchen gadgets I've accumulated over the past few years. BLERG. Tonight I walked to and fro' the grocery store in the rain! I am like a hardy homesteader, hiking the Oregon Trail! Also, I'm going to have to wayyyy up my food budget, because there's a Hi-Rise Bakery and a Formaggio Kitchen (magical gourmet foodstuffs/beerstuffs store) in walking distance of my apartment, and the two closest grocery stores are Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. TROUBLE. But if I do it right, at least I'll be healthy and super jacked.
Speaking of being super jacked, it's way past time for me to get back on the exercising wagon and I can't stop myself from spinning my wheels (metaphorically, not in a "high intensity conditioning" sort of way). Do I go back to Crossfit, or try out the amazing-sounding weightlifting club/gym that's a 20 minute walk from me? Or just make it work at my office gym that has a Smith Machine (no) or keep going to L Street, or do pullups in the tree in my yard? Correct Answer - JUST PICK SOMETHING AND DO IT AND STOP FAFFING ABOUT READING THINGS ON THE INTERNET.
Anyway. Having what felt like four days off in a row was awesome. Job is still stressing me out, but I think it's making me a better person by forcing me to be an extrovert for at least 6 hours per day. Which is what I wanted, really. But sometimes I still feel like working is a silly, nonsensical thing we all get roped into.
I was out at Jodi's cabin this past weekend in the Berkshires. It was pretty epic and American. I weed-whacked this morning while drinking black coffee in the woods. Being at the cabin meant I didn't get to see Jon though, which made me a little bit sad. As much as having a weekend boyfriend suits my flawed personality, I love him a lot and I miss him when I don't get to see him every weekend.
Now I'm going to continue to enjoy my AC and watch repeats of Doctor Who.
