Vortexia's Secret

this has been a relatively productive few days. and you know what? that actually feels really good. ran all my errands yesterday, so i started off the "real" weekend without errands. i gotta say that is an amazing feeling. today i fixed my toilet, put away some dishes, washed other dishes, covered some stuff in storage, slept in a little, and i think did some other things that i no longer remember at this point. but that's pretty productive! and in a weird masochistic way, i'm kind of liking that my body is used to getting up earlier now. so now i can wake up early, look at the clock, and decide i want to sleep in longer. then when i get up at 10 i have that good feeling of both sleeping in AND getting up early. it's nice. makes me feel good about myself. i need to find/unpack my camera sometime in the near future so that i can post some pictures i took like a month ago. i think i took them to post. i can't even remember now, though. but anyway...

i want to go swimming tonight. the complex pool is looking really tempting to me right now. ideally, i'd like to wait for mayhem so we can swim together. and he made a promise to me yesterday that he would start working out (starting last night supposedly), so i'm excited to see if he followed through. if he hasn't i may suggest that we both work out a little together and then reward ourselves/ cool down with a swim. he's one of those lucky guys who carries the weight extremely well, but he really has crossed into the overweight category. and with his family history, he needs to keep that in check for the sake of his own health. i worry about him and we both have that horrible lack of motivation, so i'm hoping that i can motivate him to work out and in turn will begin working out a little myself. i don't need to lose weight, but i would like to have enough muscle tone and endurance to stay healthy.

hmmm, kind of a random post. did i mention that i fixed my own toilet?! i was really impressed with that. sure if you broke it down into a play-by-play it might be less impressive (called daddy and said i needed help because it wouldn't work, and in the process i barely nudged something that made it start working again). but whatever, i still call it a success. i fixed the toilet! yay for me :)

so i guess that was kind of my day. i keep feeling like there was more to it, but i don't remember. so oh well. i'll keep being productive, since i'm liking the after effects. however, the motivation is lower in the bedroom and closet. i don't have a radio, CD, TV, or anything else to keep me entertained there. oh well. we'll see what happens.

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
