For use when I really don’t have time to figure out to what category the post should belong.
Well, maybe not so much. I planned on sleeping in. And, for the record, slept through what Tina described as one hell of a thunderstorm. Still, I was up by 7:30 AM. Granted, not early by even my standards, but earlier than I had planned to rise. Which turned out to be a good thing. See, we were out of coffee.
Yes, I know. We should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing such a development. We won’t, obviously. But we should. Now, do you mind? I’m trying to tell a story here.
Anyway, I had to make a run to Target. They have a store brand called “Archer Farms.” The coffee this brand sells is organic and free trade. Also, it’s excellent. I know this because I’m sipping it as I type this. Finally, it’s cheap. And this morning on sale for $4.99 per 10 ounce bag of grounds.
Well, the store opens at 8:00, which I didn’t really know until I got there. Honestly, I had thought they opened up at 7:00 AM. But, not the case. So, luck was with me. Actually, luck seems to be playing a large part of this morning, from my waking up, to arriving at Target at 7:58 AM, to finding the coffee on sale. And all this while there was a break in the storms. Hell, there was even sunshine.
I know, I’m surprised myself. I just might go buy myself some lottery tickets.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I bought my house.
Shopping it is. Also, it’s frigg’n cold out. I had to turn the heat on so I could shower comfortably. Sheesh! Anyway, you all try not to destroy the place while I am gone.
Seriously. Don’t be dicks.
I’m debating whether I should go running, go shopping, or plop my ass on the couch and veg for the day. To be honest, it’s exhausting! I really hate this adulting thing. Decisions, decisions. I can’t wait for A.I. to finally come online, take over the human race, and make all our decisions for us.
Now if you would get the hell off my lawn it’d be appreciated.
I’m going to brave the thunderstorm that is threatening outside.
After taking a day off I didn’t do to bad on my run today. I’m still recovering from the 8 miles I ran on Sunday so I am pleasantly surprised I managed a 9 minute 38 second mile. After going 3 miles in roughly 30 minutes I did a .77 mile walk to cool down. I decided to go up on the west side of Norton Park and find my way back home through the woods behind the house. Surprisingly there were only a few mosquitoes.
So, it’s off to mow the lawn. It’s been getting a bit out of hand. What with the rain and blowsery* weather I have not taken it to task. Since I’ve little to no hills but for the back yard it’s not really much of a physical chore. Well, there is the hauling of the cuttings to the compost pen in the back yard. But that’s what where the cart comes in handy. So, while I slave away you all have yourselves a merry Sunday.
*Yes, I know blowsery isn’t a word. Yet you know exactly what I mean!
Fridays, that is. Always a pain because of the short turn-a-round from getting off of work at 9:00 PM on Thursday night and having to be into work at 8:00 AM Friday morning. So, now it’s off to the shower. Type to you all later.
Actually, it went away. By the time I hit the 3 mile mark of my run the sun started showing through and the temperature started moving up. I ended up taking off my rain poncho and carrying it for my walk.
That’s right. I only ran for 3 miles and then walked the remaining distance home. After two days of 44 minute runs I took a break.
