Day Thirty Eight: Small Achievements

I felt a bit foolish on a number of occasions today. The first being that I left my car lights on last night so it was dead when I went to drive somewhere. So I hooked up the charger (and the lights came on) so I took dad's truck and did a few chores anyway. Three hours later... yea. Those lights? Meant the charger had power, not that it was charging. Sigh. So I turned the charger on to "charge" instead of "sit" but by then I didn't even need the car.

Could have been worse I guess.

Fitness: I had to haul over $300 of groceries up the stairs. That's a dual flight, and the food was heavy. That kinda of counts, right? I did also go skating.

Aikido: No training today. Feels like forever since I was last in the dojo. Funny that...

Derby: So I locked and loaded my new Jukes and headed down to Skateland. Wow. Narrow wheels - I didn't realise I was carting around all this 'extra' wheel before, and now it's gone. It was great, less surface area and less friction made turning and sliding my axles around was a lot easier. Stopping though? Haha, with less surface area it took a little while to get a good Stop going, but I already know I'm easy to hustle, just one more thing to throw in the pile of stuff that need a bit of work. Still, only seven months into quad skating, it's not too terrible... I did leave a little early (15 minutes) as my foot started to give me grief and I thought best not to push it for the sake of some lazy circles as I was fairly tired by then. 

Diet: I had some tea and then became horribly distracted with some bearing work and forgot about getting a proper breakfast. And lunch? Jesus. I can barely remember this morning but I have the sneaking suspicion I didn't really have anything other than chocolate milk after skating and then a dish consisting of four cloves of garlic, an onion, half a tin of tomatoes and six sausages. So it was a little late but I did eat some food. Then I had half a takeaway roast for dinner. I went shopping and bought everything though, so no excuses this week. I have all the things. I'm going to damn well start cooking again.

Sleep: I woke up at 8am, and even though I was only after another 30 minutes when I went back to sleep, I awoke again at 10am. Which was fine, and also had me out of bed like a shot to make the most of the day as I didn't need any more nap time. But now it's 1am and I have to get up around 8.30am tomorrow so, totally sleepy times. 

I do struggle on the weekends with the lack of structure, but let's just see how Sunday goes...
