Springing Forward
It's gorgeous out, and I'm glad I have an even longer chance to get outside today (hopefully before the fog rolls in). I have of course put off a lot of work that needs to get done today. So, here I sit -- the DVR has been on all day. Now it's switched to live TV, which happens to be golf on NBC. I would bet that my mom and grandpa are watching this back in Indiana as well. I'm not actually watching it, but my family likes spectator sports quite a lot. So, that's why I find golf and other televised sports to be comforting.
Daniel and the band left at 5:00 a.m. (which was really 4:00 a.m.) for SXSW by way of Oxnard and San Diego, and then they stop in Juarez, Mexico after SXSW. I really wanted to go but couldn't swing it. I'm very excited for them. I made delicious Kale and Roasted Vegetable Soup for Daniel and Quinn last night. I stupidly cut my finger while cutting the kale. But it was all worth it. Now I have a few meals set for when I'm all by my lonesome. Rebecca -- I was telling Quinn that elise.com/recipes (see link above) has a ton of great recipes that aren't very complicated and rarely call for very many spices. There are a lot of meat recipes, but lots of great veggie ones as well, including lots of greens.
It's always weird being in the apartment alone for long periods of time. I can often be anti-social anyway, so I imagine there will be a period this week where I hole up and do work and not really speak to anyone (outside of yoga class). Well, I've kind of made plans for most days this week, so Tuesday will be the only day where I'll be working from home and won't actually be meeting up with someone, except my fellow yoga students.
I haven't lived alone since the year after college ten years ago when I moved back to Indianapolis. It was a really cute, tiny one-bedroom that I painted this dark, greenish "Big Sur" blue. Not the best idea since the place didn't get much sunlight. I was so depressed and lonely during that time that I dreaded the weekends and slept a lot. Incidentally, that's when my night terrors started...
I just have to stay focused and take advantage of my solitude to get stuff done!
