ow!

Eeeeeeee! My stomach is making annoying cramps. Why is it acceptable to stick a wad of cotton into you? WHY IS THIS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE?!!? If the MALE half of the population had periods, there'd be a much cozier way of dealing with this. ERG.

work out = happy chemicals

I went to the gym today for the first time in a loooong while. Man, it felt good to get all sweaty and tired. Usually I do the eliptical and weight machines, but today I faced the treadmill. So I ran a mile and got really sweaty and was surprised at my ability to run for 10 minutes straight. I'm stronger than I thought! woohooo. Usually I have no running stamina whatsoever, and I quit after a minute or two. Just goes to show you, strength is all in your head. I can't wait to start swimming again, and see how far I get. . .

Spoken word

I've been talking to myself lately, in order to compensate for being alone in my house. I try having conversations with my cats, but they just look at me blankly. Sometimes they purr.
