Mar. 18th, 2016 10:11 amOn the one hand, I feel kind of sleepy. On the other hand I don't feel overwhelmingly sleepy, more like there's not much to do I'm just going to sleep here for a while. Which is not true, self, there are edits to finish and online courses to study on and other things you can do if day job is being super boring. And there's some stuff to put away, too. Stoppit.
I am at least being good about getting a list of things to do on Habitica, something broken down into small enough pieces that it doesn't seem overwhelming. I might tackle some of my outstanding to-dos over the weekend too, after I get my taxes done. Ugh taxes. (And then the trick there is going to be not going YES I MUST DO ALL THE TO-DOS RIGHT NOW no, self. That's for over the weekend. They're there so you don't forget them, and you shouldn't, but they don't need to be done right the hell now.) (Sometimes I wonder if I were to ever get a formal diagnosis based on an actual honest description of how my brain works, how many things it would say I have. Then I shudder and go off to do something else.)
Eating better is already dropping my weight, although that might just be flushing some of the crap I ate over the weekend out of my system. Better than eating, though, I actually have a fair amount of healthy food at work both to snack on and to eat for lunch. And the unhealthy food I have is more like lollipops, things I can suck on for a long while, that aren't going to flood my body with ick, that hopefully I can use to alleviate sugar cravings or in the case of the tootsie pops chocolate cravings without fasting and then binging. Which is a hell of a cycle to get into and I do it every fucking time with the candy. I don't know if I'll ever be able not to do it, but maybe I can do it at less of an extreme. I've been working on that.
And I started doing some stretches at night before bed to see if that loosens up my calves any. Stupid fucking ballet dancer calves. And at capoeira I picked up an exercise involving negativas, which is the main place where my calves go oh-fuck-you, so I should be able to see even between classes whether or not it's doing any good? I just. Argh. Fucking argh.
I guess I don't really have much to say today except for checking in with small changes in food and diet. And I have a pile of fun things to do and study. I'm wrapping up the Civil War course, I need to catch up on Military Ethics which is strangely at the moment echoing the Justice course I took, which on further thought shouldn't be strange at all. I'm taking Human Origins again which means I should make an effort to actually keep up with it, and there's a Dante's Inferno course that I hope will be at least more fun than the Superhero course.
(I should do a more formal superhero course, if nothing else to read the comics I've collected and maybe post a book report on it? Would anyone be interested in reading that? I have Death of Superman, New 52 Birds of Prey, some Wonder Woman... I could read, do a summary for people who haven't read the comics, and do maybe a 500-1000 word book report possibly on my website. If anyone wants to see that, I'll try to make that a regular-ish thing and post it.)
And there's stories I want to get onto. Finally, I think, onto the main story of the Methos epic, not because the pacing went off but because I got distracted finishing up a couple of other things oops. And various other things, continued. But online classes! Fun! And I should pick up the guitar some more and not be afraid to try and pick things out by ear.
Yes I have a lot, a lot of hobbies.
