console

i don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but my mouth has been rather itchy and and my throat kind of swollen since i ate some sour cream that was past it's best. it didn't concern me until i found a chunk of what i assume was green mold. after that it just didn't taste as enjoyable. i may or may not be having an allergic reaction to it. but my allergies have been acting up lately, which is uncharacteristic because usually the fall is an allergy-free time of year for me.

this evening i did my work-out extravaganza at the YMCA again. 1 hour of pilates, a half hour of treadmill, 75 minutes of yoga. i felt more tired this week than last. and as i began to fade during downward dog, i reminded myself "you've walked the inca trail! you can hold this position for just 30 more seconds!" it's not that doing the inca trail means i'm an iron woman, because it was hard walking for 4 days, but it's good to remember that i've endured harder things.

it was a beautiful evening as i walked down wright crescent to my car. there will probably be very few nights like this left.

i think i'll get into my bed now. i like scenes in movies when people get into bed and turn off the light. it makes it all seems so simple and complete. i can't help but wonder if i was a character in a movie, i would find the scenes in my own life as enchanting? last night i was so happy getting into bed that that i giggled and sighed under my many blankets, enjoying the coziness of my sanctuary.

in the dark i like to read his mind.
