Thought #1: yesterday I was feeling kinda fugly. Not for any particular reason, but I was scrolling through some pictures on Facebook and just was feeling blah about everything to do with me - hair, face, body, clothes. I know that if I had sent any of my friends a text expressing my displeasure with myself at that moment they would have sent me back an encouraging word and sentiment that it will pass and I'm just having a down moment. So, I started thinking - why shouldn't we send those kinds of thoughts to each other even when we're not having a down moment? I have beautiful friends, but I rarely tell them that just randomly. So, I'm going to start complimenting those around me without prompting. Just because. Just to give a boost when they don't expect it.
Moving on to thought #2: I write like I think. My thoughts are generally fast, unfinished and run-on, and I've realized that my blog posts are somewhat in the same fashion. I was re-reading my post about Chick Fil A and while I think I expressed my point, it certainly was not refined, or even that well-said. I think because I have to spend so much time and thought on legal writing for school, when I have these spur-of-the-moment blog thoughts I'm just trying to get them written down, so they generally end up sounding manic. Oh, and I overuse the comma. Blame my 9th grade English teacher who told me I didn't seem to know what a comma was. Suck it, Ms. Ervin, bet you won't find a lack of commas now!
Thought #3: How does IcyHot work? Last night my back was killing me from 2 days in a row of back and arm exercises so I slathered a ton of IcyHot all over it and crawled into bed. It is exactly like they said - cold and stinging at first, then warming all over. As my dad would say, "how do it do that?" This was not my first go round with IcyHot by any means, but usually I apply it then move on to some other activity. Lying in bed last night I actually was focused on how it works. Also, the smell is overpowering. My room still reeks.
Thought #4: All of my muscles hurt. Badly. I think they are trying to tell me that I need to take a little break. I realized that I haven't taken more than 1 day off from exercising since January 11. More aptly, I was forced to realize this as I was awoken from sleeping because my back and legs were screaming at me. I think I am going to use this weekend to let my body rejuvenate itself.
Thought #5: quit thinking. go to sleep.
Something I hate? Not being able to fall asleep. Something I hate more, as in, enough to make it the subject and center of Photo Day #11: a picture of something you hate?
Blue cheese.
To me, it tastes like feet smell. And believe me, I don't WANT to hate blue cheese. As a lover of all things cheese, I feel blue cheese and I should not have this acrimonious relationship, but I need it to be less moldy and it needs me to be more accepting of things that taste like feet. Since I don't see either one of us making any compromises on those issues, I guess we will just have to settle for this hate-hate relationship.
