I should win an award for going back on goals I set for myself. Today is a perfect example.
On Preparedness:
I decided I was going to wake up early providing myself ample time to get ready, calmly walk out the door and arrive at work looking put together , caffeinated and nourished and not like something to be mistaken for a hobbit. Instead I wake up 20 minutes before I need to be at work.
On Dieting:
I decided I would begin a raw fruit and veggie diet for about a week or so, since the warm weather can be less than friendly to extra pounds, and when you are only 5 feet tall those extra pounds only have so many places they can disperse. I did relatively well, until almost as if possessed I made myself a turkey hot dog with jalapeno cheese. F.A.I.L.
On Academics:
What a lovely day! Because it was a day that I was fortunate enough to get out of work at a reasonable hour, I proudly came to the conclusion that I would bathe in the sun while catching up on my reading for my Ancient Greek Drama grad course. After this responsible decision, I came to the less responsible decision that I should also have a container of wine to drink while I enjoyed the 80 degree sun, whispering breeze of Gramercy Park, and Euripides. Cut to me, book collapsed in my lap, tin mug of wine loosely held in my hand and head collapsed into my chest asleep in the middle of the park. Children wandered by wondering who that sad little lady who smelled like nail polish was, I am sure, and how she could read like that. I woke up, having made it no further into The Bacchae than the introduction, and shamefully packed myself up and returned home, where I placed my remaining wine in the fridge for a later time ( in an hour or so).
At least I accomplished a second blog post : )
