mondays are usually my nights at the Y. but it dawned on me while at work that this week is going to be especially busy with activities, and if i go to the Y i'd continue to live in squalor and would NOT experience peace of mind. what's the point of a leisurely hobby if it adds to the burden of your regular life? partly the reason why yoga and pilates is important to me is that i feel that those activities provide an element of balance to my life. but i need to be careful that i don't begin to focus more on the activity than what's being accomplished thru it. so i stayed home. i had a delicious dinner, i finished "a million miles in a thousand years", i cleared out my refrigerator (that has had rotting vegetables in it since the beginning of august), i baked some cookies for the board meeting on wednesday, and i cleared off my desk! i can actually see the glass surface for the first time since june! it's been good. i feel good. and that's the point of my evening at the Y, right?

when i returned to work today i was asked if i had the swine flu. i don't know for sure. i'm hoping i did because then i'm done and won't have to worry about getting the vaccine. i've reviewed the symptoms but my analysis has been inconclusive.

the announcement has been made, and i have NOT been selected as a bombardier torchbearer for the 2010 olympics :( oh well. it's ok. it would've been fun, but i think it would've also been hard and i'd be nervous. so in a way i'm relieved. i'm happy to just go watch with some of my friends. it will be amazing.

i was really hating my hair today. it was bothering me a lot. looked terrible. but when i threw it up into a bun in frustration it ended up looking great! phew! it's just gotten so freakishly short. that's my only criticism, that dreads has progressively made my hair shorter in the last 10 months. except for one dread. it's like a have a dread rat tail :S

the one that you're using is bruising you.
