There are just some days that the hour can’t go by fast enough.
I actually had a very productive day, which is great because getting used to my new job has been an exercise of staring at old documents and trying to piece together something to do for the day.
I am well caught up with my web surfing.
But the last week, things have started to swing into gear. Which is great, because I don’t sit quietly well. I like to be busy - really busy.
No more excuses - I have been out of surgery now for almost four months. I finally am back up to my fighting weight - so it’s time to start fighting. I will be joining a gym this weekend. While I must say I’ve had fun eating cheesecake and homemade macaroni and cheese - it’s time to keep everything in check. I think now is the time to actually start eating healthy instead of just crap and maybe try to get back into the shape I was in before all the health crap happened. For those keeping score at home - it will be a year July 28th. Yep. Yuck. I like the idea of just being active again.
I’m currently camped out at the Englishman’s house with the dogs. Seems that in the process of dating someone from the UK, my a/c has been set a bit lower than the native Floridian is used to having it. Ditto for the native Floridian air conditioner, which decided to vomit condensation all over my closet last night.
It did give me an excuse to crawl up into the attic - which is in REALLY great shape it turns out. I was hoping for a steamer trunk and a wardrobe and some really magical shoes - but I just got a pretty well preserved roof and well laid insulation. Oh well.
So the decided plan of action was to turn the a/c off and let it all dry out and see what happens. I will be co-habitating along with the dogs through the weekend. In return, I am helping the Englishman work on his American dialect for an audition. Funnily, he sounds rather mid-western. It’s not bad actually, just a little unnerving to hear someone suddenly sound like they’re from Chicago when they’re from right outside London. It’s a little “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” but with a really polite edge.
Well, it’s at that point where I just can’t be bothered to start another project so close to leaving for the day. I guess it was nice to post - I haven’t done it in a while. I haven’t’ a lot to say, but by my standards that is so refreshing. It just means I’m happy and content.
Although I could use a nap.
