Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Real nice, flea! But also, yes -- they're practically kittens.

Hope you got some sleep, meara.

My body is trying to kill me today.

Our wings are not tired.

Too late for last night, but do a search for mice repellent app for your phone. I haven't used them, but the insect ones work great.

They also hate peppermint oil if that is an option.

And you wake minty-fresh!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's a high school student who has been working here part-time in some kind of internship program for the last year or more, and I have never met him -- and actually had no idea who he was until last week -- but he sends out these "Good Morning!" emails on days he's here that are so great! He totally brightens my day. And today's his last day. Sad. This morning's email was especially lovely.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You should tell him that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, do let him know. That's nice just to hear about.

Bike ride before breakfast! I meant to eat first, but oh well. My bike is rideable and I put it in 2.5 miles in 20 minutes, which is farther than my to work ride would be, I think, so I will have to start thinking about routes.

I still need to try to fit in swimming and a half hour walk today, and get my hair cut after work. It's all me-time, technically, but is really cutting into my doing-nothing and watching-tv schedules.

And once again forgot I have sunglasses. But it wasn't exactly bright out, yet.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

-t, you are a big inspiration for me to keep increasing my activity. (Not triathalon-level, but still.)

Cool! I haven yet to read Slow Fat Triathlete [link] but knowing it exists has really inspired me.

Okay, I am putting on my sunglasses before I leave the house this time. And remembering to bring the regular distance glasses with me, because that would probably be a problem if I didn't. Concentrate, self, you can do this.
