– Sometimes I can’t decide what to have for my afternoon snack, and when oatmeal pops into my mind, I think, ‘Oh, can’t have that — that’s what I had for breakfast.’ It just seems wrong to eat the same thing twice in one day. Luckily, I did not have oatmeal for breakfast today! My snack oatmeal was particularly good, too. Yum.
– My ankle is feeling a bit better today. It doesn’t really hurt much anymore (although, that’s exactly what I would have said a week ago, right before it got a lot worse), but it’s still slightly swollen and feels a bit ‘funny’. I was adding new songs to my ‘running’ playlist, which meant trying to imagine running, to see if each song was high-energy enough, and I could tell that my ankle wasn’t up for even imaginary running. And that’s the latest in AnkleWatch 2010.
– I did some stuff with weights and my arms this morning, and I’m already starting to feel it. That’s not so much down to my killer workout as it is to the feebleness of my arms. I wish I weren’t so afraid of the great unknown that is the weight machine section of my gym. I miss the gym (not really). I miss running (yes, really). Sad face.
– I tried sleeping with the wave sounds last night, and I’m not completely sold on it. The pros are that A) I don’t have a fan blowing (at the wall, this time of year), which I’m sure kicks up dust that irritates the inside of my head and B) the clock radio is on my nightstand, which means I can turn the noise off when I wake up without having to get up first. So I can lie in bed until I’m ready to face the world. The main con is that there’s a loose connection somewhere inside the clock radio, and you have to get it set up just right so that there won’t be any static. And even then, I keep listening to hear if there’s any trace of static… instead of falling asleep. I would say that I slept decently last night more in spite of the waves than thanks to them. But I’m going to give it another shot. And maybe try to fix the connection, at some point.
– And finally, the Zevia soda winners! I used random.org to generate three numbers; the first was the ‘grand prize’ winner, and the second two were the… other winners. Annnnd, the winners were BreAnna, who will be getting an entire case of Zevia soda — a four-pack of each amazing flavour; Dawn and Christine will each be getting a mixed six-pack, with one can of each variety. Winners, I’ve e-mailed you for details. Thanks to everybody who commented! I hope you can find Zevia wherever you are and give it a try. Seriously worth it!
Eating foods at the “wrong” time of day is sexy. I remember this one girl in high school who showed up to homeroom each morning (fashionably late, of course) with miniature baguettes, packs of jelly beans, or hunks of sharp cheddar cheese. She was all, “look at me. I’m so hot, I can’t be bothered to conform to conventional breakfast foodstuffs.”
Also, she wore sunglasses inside. I think she was high a lot of the time.
Moral of the story: eat your oatmeal whenever the mood strikes!
I did my Hot & Not only to learn Loobylu is on sabbatical. Glad to read yours!
