A whole day of Sunday, stretching ahead. Yum.

  • be the tortoise: post the thoughts I’ve had on the awareness/consistency nexus.
    —stretches.
    —journal.
    —apple cider vinegar. done

Do a 'NoHuWriMo'! (read all 3 entries…)
On your marks. 2 days ago

I had another lapse, but I’m back with a new story to tell. I’ve just written 410 words (at work – naughty) so I’ll have a break now, and then come back to this later.

By the time the month is over, I could have a 3,000 word short story!

Friday 20 November 2 days ago

43 days until the new year – an irrefutable reminder that 2009 is not yet over, and that there’s still time to get on with things (and I know exactly what those things are). Ugh, though.

day
  • download notes from missed class, read.
  • drink lots and lots of water.
  • make self first-ever coffee on the machine at work. (I frothed the milk and everything. This is going to save me so much money!)
  • create work chart to track projects.
  • begin work on BV project.
later
  • leave work at 3 – the entire department is undergoing some sort of cosmic relocation, so everyone has to vacate the building.
  • exercise. I feel like a lazy, porkish pig. I am going to do this outdoor circuit workout. Then I’m going to come home, and do this. I have 43 days to lose the 15lbs I want to before the end of the year. I might not get all the way there, but I am going to give it a really good shot.
  • update consistency tracker (thought: I could finish today on a four – that would be awesome).
  • body beautiful – face mask, hair masque, nails, all while watching …
  • True Blood. (really didn’t enjoy this)
  • set a plan for exercise and study this weekend – remember, it doesn’t have to be onerous. Slow and steady.
