Day Nineteen: Reminder, I'm Doing This For Me

Finding money is one of my super powers.

I'm sure some things were stressing me out earlier. Then something else entirely far more catastrophic happened and I forgot all the little things that were bugging me. Then I found $5, and my mind came up with a solution to the current situation I find myself in so, yes, all and all, a good afternoon.





This week looks a little like it's going to turn to carnage goal-wise. I need to go to off-skates training so I'm missing Aikido on Tuesday, then I need to miss skate training on Thursday to go to my brothers birthday dinner. Both of these things have high ranking social importance that always overrides life-style choices. Here I am, being an adult. I feel like I've been saying that a lot lately.

Gym: Rest day from the gym. I actually did some planks on Sunday and I have to wonder why I can do them much longer when by myself rather than in company.

Aikido: No training today

Derby: Went for a skate along the viaduct with the wife, checked out the Laneways Festival. It met with my expectations, then we came back. Outdoors is great because it's unforgiving and pedestrians can be surprising. It was after 6pm and apparently, my work had factored in the public holidays on the key cards and I couldn't get back into the office. So I caught the train home in my full derby attire, and managing to slide in under the garage door just as my brother was leaving and locking the place up (did I mention my house keys were in my jeans, in the office? yay). Timing, plus plus. Oh, and I cleaned my skates.

Diet: Weetbix w/ banana for breakfast and then tea and chocolate milk for snacks. Wholemeal pita bread and some cheese for lunch, then a delicious ham sandwich with avocado and cheese on wholemeal again. Yoghurt and blueberries for dessert... not the best but reasonably satisfied with today. Has a 73 out of a possible 100 feel to it

Sleep: 2am-ish again, but for a weekend wake up of 8am it's not too bad, as I'm still taking it pretty slow and easy. Definitely hitting the sack by 11pm tonight as I need to be at work early so I can leave work at a reasonable hour to relocate my car to Western Springs before rush hour. Why is it every time I leave my keys at work that I need my car the next day?

For a long weekend when I had very few activities planned that seemed to go by very quickly. I look forward to the mid-twenty days with nervous anticipation.
