As Normal As Normal Gets

I had a great day. As normal as normal gets for me. Which
after the past few days is exactly what I want and I'll
never be ungrateful for a "normal" day again! Okay, maybe
never is unrealistic, but I'll try to be more grateful for
the uneventful days.

My workout was the most amazing that I've had in a very
long time. I'm starting to get back into the gym groove
and it feels fabulous. I burned 802 calories during my 60
minute Arc Trainer ride :) I'm working up to my previous
1,000 calorie workouts. Only this time I'm going to eat
more than 700 calories per day. That wasn't healthy no
matter how I tried to justify it. I met a couple women my
age at they gym today. Usually I'm surrounded by old
people. The only other people under the age of 60 are
usually guys on the basketball courts and I have no
interest in knowing any of them. We chatted a little while
sitting in the sauna. We all came to the agreement that
someone has to find a way to make sweat smell good.
Wouldn't it be so rewarding to work up a sweat if you
smelled like cookies or chocolate at the end of a workout?
I think so :)

I saw the bastard (as I not-so-affectionately refer to
Annie's assailant) again today. There he was, standing
across the street. I can't figure out if he's touched or
evil, but I'm leaning more towards touched. No person with
all their mental capacities working would stand across the
street and lurk in front of the house of the person who a)
saw you victimize their child and b) called the police on
you! When I came outside he did the same thing he did
yesterday, darted off behind the mini-mart. I've decided
that he's no one to fear and I'm not going to get upset
about it anymore. Anyone who's scared of a 5'7" woman in
yoga pants and a pink sweatshirt obviously deserves my
pity and isn't worth the negative energy vengence
requires. I'll never be totally comfortable here again,
but I'm not going to let it consume me either. Let's just
say I'm much more aware now.

My plan when I got home from the gym today was to pick up
the house and start the laundry. Well, I got the entire
house cleaned and I'm waiting for the last load of laundry
to dry. I'm exceedingly pleased with myself. I didn't
think I had it in me to finish everything today, but after
such an invigorating workout, I felt like I had a ton of
energy to spare. It's starting to wane now, but it's
almost 10pm and I should be slowing down anyway. I can't
decide if I want a quick shower (and then read in bed) or
a long bath with candles (and read in the bath). Both
sound delicious. Decisions:decisions :) Ciao.
