I probably should have brought an umbrella to work. All this intense humidity, starting last night, I should have known would lead to more rain, and even when I took the dog out and the sky was that particular shade of metallic steel blue, I thought, eh, who needs it. Actually, given that it just thundered now, and its 4 o'clock, I could be fine by 9 pm anyway. Here's hoping.
Actually, all I had to do was get distracted while writing this post, and by the time I come back, the sun is shining again. I've been in a bit of a fog all day, or really, for the past several days, I think. I emerge occasionaly from the fog and manage to have coherent conversations, but mostly I've been spending copious amounts of time alone and drifting around in my head. A lot of it is writing-related, but still, I'm not sure how good it is to lose so much perspective. Then again, it hasn't been that along. Its just that when I left the house today, I was standing on the porch locking the door and I honestly couldn't remember if it was Tuesday or Wednesday. I finally decided I was pretty sure if was Tuesday, but I couldn't even be 100% certain.
Last week I bought an issue of Men's Health, which is sort of fun and dangerous, because suddenly all sorts of campaigns and schemes emerge. On Sunday, this meant a new running routine which kinda kicked my ass, but in a way that was satisfying. At least until I had to then ride my bike to brunch and my thighs were angry at me. I've also been trying to, um, 'build core strength', i.e. doing variations of sit-ups, and I hesitate to write about something I'm only on day three of, but I'm fascinated about how when you start using your body differently and you're paying attention, new unexpected information pops up. In this case, when I'm doing side crunches, apparently my left side is much stronger than my right -- after 8 reps on the left, I'm fine, but on the 4th rep to the right, I cramp and crumble a little. Strange.
On hotmail today there's some story about the dangers of taking prescription medicine you order from online irreputable sources, and the illustration that leads to the story is awesome:
I have had no coffee today and so far, no headache has emerged (touch wood) and I haven't been a total mess. (Not knowing the day of the week withstanding.) I think I will be cutting my caffeine as I think it has been the cause of much of my digestive ills. This makes me slightly sad, as I do love a great cup of coffee. But I'd pick it over gluten or dairy or some other larger category that contains more things I love.
