Last day before a 12-day holiday and I am NOT having a productive
day.
Big surprise there.
I slept in this morning
(clarification: until about 5AM) and didn't erg, because the alternative was to
get up at 4 to get on the rowing machine before Rudder. Sadly, I can't say I feel
any more energetic for the extra sleep and lack of exercise -- oh no! don't tell
me my body has become erg-dependent!! AAAUUUUGHHHH! Does Betty Ford have a program
for this?
Having, finished (FINISHED!) the challenge, I only would
have done about a half-hour's time on the erg, so I still may do it
tonight.
I am such a waste of an occupied chair today. I keep trying
to at least do some reading, but it's not working. Maybe I'll clean my desk. That
will serve the dual purposes of keeping me busy doing somethign sort of
productive, and ensuring that I don't forget anything I need to take home -- which
reminds me. Hang on. [Carefully makes sure the last sip of tea is finished and
throws mug into backpack.] The mug I use for making my tea has tea-crud on the
bottom, and it's one of those tall insulated ones -- too narrow to reach the
bottom. I keep forgetting to take it home so I can get it cleaned out with a
brush.
Any bets on how long it will take me to bring it back in?
PS. Forgot to mention a local news item today. Apparently, some guy in town who
wrote a book on "dirty divorce tricks", a few years ago, specializing in advice on
how to get out of paying child support. I can understand being upset enough to
want to get back at an ex-spouse, but what sort of subhuman takes it out on
children? Apparently, the sort who just got arrested for --- you got it --
nonpayment of his child support. Karma in action, or a God(dess) with a sense of
humor, you choose. Either way, it sure as hell brightened my morning commute.
