Uselessness & Health
Jun. 22nd, 2004 02:29 amDays seem to be vanishing into this void of uselessness, unused potential. Time's zooming by and I feel that there's little at the end of the day to show for it sometimes. I think it might be time to start making lists, that way I have a set number of things and I can cross stuff off the list as I acheive them. Also it should help me stop forgetting a bunch of stuff that I keep consistently forgetting until it's too late in the day to deal with them.
Another way to waste hours in one's day was this afternoon's expedition into the city, to find the dojo closed. Which is a pain in the ass when it's 45 minutes each way. And a pain because I would have liked to train. Slightly amusing as I've never been a fan of physical exercise or exertion. But I feel better now that we've incorporated regular exercise into our lives... being able to run up stairs two at a time at the train station and not be out of breath at all at the top is so much nicer than feeling out of breath and horrible. It's the small things that make you realise that you're getting more and more in shape. I've yet to incorporate the home yoga tapes though, which I really need to start doing sometime.
My vitamin supplement intake is still a bit patchy, but I'm doing better there. The eating habits have taken a hit recently, and easy foods/take out/eating out have dominated too much, which isn't good for various reasons, notably health and money wise, so I need to get cracking again in the cooking department.
We went to Bed, Bath & Beyond on Sunday and acquired various home essentials... new shower curtain, a blender/food processer (yum, smoothies!), scales, a black vintage 50s looking radio alarmclock for me, a hang up shelving unit closet organiser, a Brita water cannister etc. Money fritters away in that place like crazy everytime we go, so it's good we limit it to about once a year. I also finally got a straightening iron for my hair. I've fought a lifelong battle with trying to tame my hair, and this is another fight in the war. I tried it out Sunday night and I'm happy with the results. It's time consuming to do, but it makes such a difference. Finally I might be happier about my hair when we go clubbing. The frequency of which is once in a blue moon at present though.
Last week we went for eye exams and both got contacts. For me that's nothing new, but PreZ is a glasses wearer of old, and it's all new for him. He's adjusting well so far. I also had nothing to do with his decision to get contacts, mostly because as they are somewhat user intensive in their care and wear, it's something you really need to decide for yourself. We also tried on glasses while we were waiting at the optometrist's office, and this weekend we got our glasses. Or, PreZ got his, mine are on order. They made his up in an hour at the place, mine have to be special ordered as they're rimless glasses. Finally new glasses, after I broke mine back just before PreZ lost his job, which is like 2 years ago now... kind of sad really.
My throat is all scratchy, and I don't know why. I hope this doesn't develop into some nasty sore throat/cough thing, I really don't need one of those right now.
