after thoughts

Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

5/18

I threw off going to the gym this morning to sleep in a bit and to actually write.
Write something – anything.

It’s kind of odd.
I think this is the first day in the past three or so months where I haven’t mentally devoted myself to doing something – anything – physically. Rather, I’m performing mental exercises instead. Although, I am thinking at making an attempt to meet my step goal. I don’t know if the weather will hold out. If not that, I’ll do some housework.

But, you get the idea.
Yesterday, I exercised. Before that, I walked around the fairground. Before that, it was the gym. Before that it was biking and walking.

I’m pretty physically active despite being a few years shy of 50. I’m proud of that. Also, having a healthy phobia of saggy back thighs helps. When some people wear shorts, there’s this cascade of fat and loose skin that covers the back of their knees. For some reason, that strikes apprehension in my heart. I don’t want that to happen to me – if it hasn’t already.

Anyway, I chose to do this today instead of that.
Even now, it’s hard to do this because I just want to sleep.

But, this is good although I feel like my whole day was partially destroyed. Typically, for example, I do all of my game dalies on the treadmill I’ve gotten to be pretty competent at doing puzzles while walking. I guess I’ve developed that skill over time by playing various games (Ingress, Pogo, etc) over the years. But, it’s a lot easier on the treadmill because it lacks the sun’s glare.

I haven’t really worked on any games so far today and it’s nearly noon. I’ll have to remedy that sometime this evening. That’s what I typically use for work time. But, I’ve been keeping up on work because I was writing the lynch post.

It’s confusing my carefully constructed day and irritating the mastermind portion of my brain.

But, tomorrow, it’s a bit more on schedule. Maybe.
It’s the last day (I think) of physical therapy. So, that tends to be a bike riding day + some walking. Gameing, that’s Pikmin Bloom – because I can plant mad flowers while riding a bike. Light PoGo and Ingress may also happen. Although, to be truly effective, I need to finish out the walking portion of my current Bloom level. Not that it matters, I guess, but there’s no use planting flowers if the walk portion of the level requirement isn’t met. That’s another reason to really push for getting some walking in today.

I just hope the weather holds out so I can do some walking. Probably after I get done rambling here. Mom’s cooking bacon and it’s making me feel quezy. I think it’s the smell of the grease. That’s not the type of smell that goes away soon.

I think it’s going to start raining at any minute.

Just rambling.
Don’t get mad at me or think anything of it. There isn’t some mysterious message, thoughts of self-harm, or malicious intent. I’m just cleaning out bits of my brain to commemorate not going to the gym today.
