Have I ever gone that long before? Probably. I know I have a slump at least once a year.
What have I been doing with myself other than sitting on the couch. Defrosting the freezer. Drawing. Cleaning my pig-sty house.
I could have sworn I walked last weekend and posted about it. But I cannot find anything. I even looked in my deleted photos. Basically, I'm in one of my self-destruct moods. I've given into fat and lazy. My roommates are not any help, actually, they might be much of the problem. Nor is the wacky weather. Add to that my annual late-November birthday/holidays blues. (Heck it's Novemeber 26 and I haven't made a Christmas card yet!) I know I did small walks here and there, but nothing to write about.
It's been so bad, half the time I don't even put my Fit Bit on.
So this is the post of excuses. I will now get over myself, get my shit in gear, and get moving seriously.
Saturday I thought I walked, but clearly I didn't. I didn't take a single picture.
Sunday, Bonnie and I went to Hugh Moore park for an evergreen workshop and walked on the trail a bit. The Josiah White looks pretty in the snow.
Monday clueless. It rained. I am so over rain. This might have been the day I started to walk and had a gastric event that had me literally running home.
Tuesday I didn't walk between classes ... it was raining cats and dogs. I had Thai food instead. It was yummy. The place used to be a Blimpies. I wish I would have had my FIt Bit on. I was running around that college like a wild lady.
Wednesday the temps were falling and it rained. After my adventure in the snow a week prior, I decided not to wait until inspection to buy tires. (OMG what a pain in the ass it is to turrn off the traction control!) I bought new tires at BJs, so instead of walking around the "neighborhood" as I planned, I walked up and down every aisle in the store for an hour. Slighly better than mall-walking because there is nothing in BJs to distract me. Plus I defrosted the freezer.
Thursday I had plans to do a dawn Thanksgiving hike on Sheetrock in Macungie. It left at 5:45 am. When I rose, it was 18 degrees outside. Because it rained Wednesday and there was still leftover snow, that meant the potential for ice. I have never been on that trail so I'd be doing it in the dark for the first time on ice. I have no health insurance and I decided an icy hike, up a mountain, in the dark, on a strange trail, was a formula for disaster. Half dressed I went back to bed.
Friday I had three choices for #optoutside walks. I was excited. I had planned on the one in Phoenixville. Thursday night the roomie starts carrying on about how I'm always gone and she stuck with my neices dog blah, blah, blah. She continued on Friday morning. The guilt work and I didn't go. About 10 she asked me what time my walk was. I said now. I didn't go. You got your way. Repeat the drama for Saturday. This time I was planning Hershey. I need to put EVERY walk on the calendar so she doesn't bitch. I am so over her drama.
Saturday the weather improved. I didn't go out at all. I sat inside and wallowed. I was just so pissed at the roomie I didn't go to spite her. Yeah, I know, that's counter-productive.
Sunday it was beautiful. I went to Emmaus with all intentions of going up to the gateway trail. I didn't. I went to the farmer's market and bought honey, maple syrup, and apples and decided to make an apple crisp. I walked around town a little and then went back to the car.
So now it's Monday. What a surprise it's raining again. And my birthday is Thursday. Every one tells me only one more year to Social Security. Who the hell wants to retire? I have no desire to sit in my "yellow" chair and become cranky and bitter like the one roomate.
A new week, a new day. Today I will force myself out for a walk for just 30 minutes every day. Tomorrow I'll try for that between class walk again.
Beginning December 1st I will walk everyday and post photos of tacky Christmas decorations. Cover your eyes.
