Running

Did not go out to run with the Front Runners, but did go out to run.

Was the first time I've run outdoors, in the park, since I broke the ankle back in October. Was not exactly a triumphant return, but hey, it was a return. Was hyper-careful about watching my step (go fig!), and did toss a branch or two off the trail rather than suffer them to lie there as a later obstacle.

Plodded along, paid attention to my heart rate monitor, and generally cursed my bad genes that really provide that I shouldn't eat anything before I run (nascent reflux, how I hate thee...). At least I know it's Mom I can blame for that one. ;-)

But, am now all cleaned up again, post-run, post-stretching, etc. and waiting to firm up my lunch plans. Only other plan is to buy an electrical strip so I can put the damned alarm clock beside the bed again, and not have to get up to turn the damned thing off.

Lazy Sundays

Lunch was had, shopping was done, I have a powerstrip which means I can put my alarm back beside the bed where it belongs. An afternoon of movies is now in order. We like lazy Sundays. :-)

Empowered!

I am empowered!

No more shall I be a slave to the alarm clock, getting up to cross the room and turn the accursed thing off in the morning!

No longer shall it drag me out of bed simply to quiet its incessant whining, sometimes multiple times in a single morning as the snooze button gets smacked!

And how can this be?!?!

It is because I have finally purchased an extra power strip, post-bedroom move, and now the beastly thing resides within arms reach of the bed, bringing the snooze button well within easy smacking distance.

Convenient electricity is a good, good thing.
