Brinner


– It looks like breakfast, doesn’t it? But it was yesterday’s dinner. I ran errands with my mom in the afternoon, so I had my afternoon snack (zucchini cake!) later than usual, meaning I wasn’t that hungry for dinner. Oatbran to the rescue.
– Maybe the whole breakfast for dinner thing threw me off schedule, because I realized when I crawled into bed that I’d forgotten to update. I usually like to do it late-ish to late in the evening; I feel like I have to have structure to my nights, or I wind up wasting time just watching shows on Hulu or surfing the web. Both are fine pursuits, of course, but it’s a sort of boredom that breeds boredom — I wind up succumbing to inertia and never get around to doing any of the things I want.
– Speaking of structure, I’ve been going to the coffee shop a few times a week in order to make sure I get enough proof reading done (easier to do without the distractions of home). And I’ve even been looking forward to the colder months, when I can get back into the routine of going to the gym in the mornings (a life-saver when daylight hours are few and it’s too frigid to get outside and do things). I’m feeling much more positive about the changing of the seasons, in general. Last winter wasn’t so bad, and although we had a really nice summer this year, I keep hoping for cooler temperatures already. I know I’ll regret saying that in a few months!

    At first glance, I thought the bowl of purple globe-shaped things behind your oatbran were miniature eggplants … and I got REALLY excited. Then I realized that they were grapes, and I was slightly less excited. But then I started thinking about eating frozen grapes beneath a ceiling fan on a muggy Midwestern summer night, and the excitement built up all over again. It’s been a journey of emotions, I tell ya.
    Also – what gym did you join last winter? I’m contemplating a winter membership, but I can’t decide which establishment to patronize.

    brinner! I know what you mean by boredom breeding boredom, its so hard to get going again in the evening once television or random internet surfing sets in.
