these are not the words you’re looking for

stupid, useless, run-and-hide dreams. i thought going to bed before ten would help my situation. instead, i was running uphill and hiding in basements all bloody night. what kind of rest is that?
my kitchen is a bit of a sty right now. the garbage really needs to be taken out, but the last two nights, once i’ve gotten home, i didn’t even want to venture out as far as the dumpster. that would have involved putting shoes on again. no. more. shoes. shoes are evil things and i think i need to start a barefoot campaign. or at least a stockinged foot revolution. i don’t know. someone needs to come clean my kitchen. then there’s this weird urge to rearrange my main room. the problem being, there’s only so much space and i think it’s pretty much optimized at the moment. there’s very little i can think to do to change the layout at all. we’ll see.
yay! it’s free money week! well, not really free. but it’s my “extra” payday this friday and i got my rebate cheque for the php course from hell yesterday. whee! that’s over $1300 which isn’t allocated to anything. oh, right. except debt repayment. *sigh* you know, this being responsible crap is picking my butt. i wish i didn’t care how much i owed or didn’t mind getting in more and more debt. $1300… i could go visit the wellers or to go a con! i could buy a new camera or a new tv/dvd setup. but, no. i’ll put it on the money i owe the bank, like a good girl. bleh.

i’m trying the exercise thing again. spent half an hour on the bike after work last night. i don’t get as good a workout on an bike as i do on the elliptical machine, but at least i can read while pedalling. it keeps me on the bike longer than i probably would be if i couldn’t use my mind while i worked out. music just doesn’t cut it for me on the jogging machine. it leaves too much of my mind free to wander and when my mind wanders, time seems to slow down. then i get frustrated and i stop even attempting the exercise because it’s boring. i figure i’ll work myself up to an hour on the bike. it will kill two stones with one bird: 1) fitness, and 2) more time for reading. at least that’s the plan. who knows if it’ll really happen. of course, now i’ve totally jinxed it. ohwell.
going to the airport to pick up karen tonight. yay! i love going to the airport. no, really! it’s an awesome place to peoplewatch and just hang out. parking is expensive, but they have a “street prices” guarantee on all the vendors and restaurants, so you don’t get gouged if you want to eat while you’re there. i think i’ll get myself a nice gingerbread latte (dear god, i wish they’d have those all year ’round) and make some pictures while i’m there. i just hope i don’t get tackled by security for suspicious activity.
that’s the plan. how’s your hump day?
