Nah, still funny.

Hey, look, I have a Bath & Body Works gift card from December that I never used! And a Jamba Juice gift card from like a year ago that I hope is still good. Maybe I will go spend those tomorrow after work...soap and a smoothie sounds pretty good.

(it kinda ruins the joke when the cat edits his post, don't you think?)

Hee. Yeah, still funny, and now browser-friendly!

I did manage to get up and shower and change the bed and put in laundry. Lunch with a friend next.

It's been so long since I went for a run that I forgot my ZombieLink username. In my defense, it's case-sensitive and that is what I was getting wrong, capitalization. But now I'm ready to go and I will not let the nagging feeling that I should empty the dishwasher and start a new load to run while I run get in my way, dammit.

I do, however, need headphones. Oh, self.

Yesterday I cleaned up my bedroom from the detritus of a month of depression, and found a few things I bought online that it's now too late to return. I hate it when I do that.

Oh hai, expensive digital camera and duplicate versions of FitBit type thingies.

I have two Fitbits because I lost one and didn't discover it (in a pile of clothing) until after I'd gotten the new one.

There are so many things in my home that fall into this category.

My sister gave me her mountain bike, because it was too short for her, and I inflated the tires and adjusted the seat, and took like a 7 minute bike ride, just to see if I would kill myself. (I haven't been on a bike in about...29 years.)

IT WAS SO FUN!!!

I LIVED on my bike (a 80's 10-speed) from 9-14. We ripped around the apartment complex from woods to pool to the neighboring apartment complex, and screamed down this huge hill we called Kmart Hill, because, well, Kmart was up the hill. It was a long hill and at one point you could go down and catch another hill at the bottom and catch some air.

I was definitely wobbly, but I used to ride no hand, just wheeling along, swooping one way and the other. I am definitely going to ride more. I was grinning like a fool when I came in!

Hi all, Timelies!

Karl, so sorry for your loss.

Sorry about your friends, Sheryl.

eta: Liese, your song is so good! it really rocks and hits deep!

I'm glad you're enjoying your bike, Strix! Yay!

So, that was a frustrating run. No, the actual running part was fine (although I am out of shape enough that to keep my heart rate in the desired zone (I should say to try to keep my heart rate in the desired zone because I was not super good at that even so) I was mostly walking but it's because my heart rate monitor told me to, not because I am lazy (this is really why I like heart rate monitors)) and I did eventually find headphones, although not the good headphones that stay in my ears reliably, but these worked fine. I realized I needed to download my zombie mission before I headed out, so I took that time to move some laundry around (but still have not put away clean dishes from the dishwasher) and then headed out for my favorite combination of zombies and GotG along the waterfront. Unfortunately, I did NOT realize that at some point I took a bunch of music off my phone to make room for...who knows what, but apparently that included the GotG soundtrack, which I found out at the first music break in Zombies, Run! when all I heard was silence. So that took a while to figure out and remedy and while I was doing that I paused the zombies and forgot to turn them back on when I started running again (listening to the soundtrack on shuffle through iTunes instead of through the zombie player, it's a subtle difference until it's been three or four songs and there hasn't been any story) so I lost some credit in that app. But not in the Polar app, which is all good except now it's not updating my Health app like it's supposed to and I can't figure out why. Argh.

Also, when I was making my To Do list last night and thinking it seemed like it seemed like achievable goals I forgot about mowing the lawn and now that I have seen the front lawn it clearly needs mowing.

But first, lunch. I think pancakes. Because that seems easier than salad.
