on hibernation

so, the cleanse is history. and i totally shucked it with a bang on saturday: pizza, beer and chocolate. hell, yeah! i made it five days with two cheats (damn leftover chips). maybe it was the flu-thing i had, maybe it was the cleanse, but whichever it was i felt like crap the whole week. what i’ve taken from the experience is that i don’t think there’s any bad food, just bad eating trends and as long as my overall trend is healthful eating with lots of real food, pizza and beer (and even chocolate) on a saturday night is a-okay.
i don’t know if it was being home two days last week then going to work for friday or there was a general slow-down in time, but my weekend seemed to stretch on forever. i had a quiet night at home alone friday. i got up earlyish saturday and proceeded to clean out my overflowing bookshelf (hence the purge of programming books), ran errands in the rain, tried on my new dress (now i just need somewhere to wear it), picked up christopher at the seabus, went to the dollar store, ate pizza & went to see the late show of Pan’s Labyrinth. sunday, i didn’t get out of my pj’s all day. chris & i spent the day playing zelda. well, he played zelda while i puttered around on the computer and around the rest of the apartment.
actually, it was the best weekend ever.
these days, all it want to do is hang out at home. i love my apartment with the sofa and the Wii and the bed and the bathtub. being a textbook cancer, i do tend to nest and love to be home, but lately it’s entirely out of control. actually, i think i’m going through my winter funk. i can’t wait for spring to have sprung so i feel a bit more like going outside. at least i hope i will.
