The plan was to go at 9:30am. Considering I got up at roughly noon yesterday, this was perhaps a bit over-enthusiastic. However. I did get up around 9:30, had my coffee, an apple and the plan was then to run. And then I went online.
Now, I haven't had good, decent, reliable internet in my own home since...August of 2008. Internet at the TECHNICAL school in Nancy, France was intermittent at best, usually non-existent. Summertime apartment where I stayed for 3 and a half months wasn't worth bothering Comcast with. But now. The possibilities. I have internet that can be looked at ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! Why wasn't this a part of my life when I was unemployed? Or only working 8 hours a week? Probably so I didn't forget how to read a book.
But now all those practices of self-restraint, responsibility, and time management must all be put into practice again. I have a huge to-do list today. I have stopped eating proper meals and getting proper exercise because of this gift/curse. (I assume my popsicles, though made of real fruit juice, are not a proper meal on anybody's food pyramid.) So I will go running. I will take a shower and call everyone I said I'd call and use the internet for practical purposes and not entertainment. I will go to the bank. But by God, at the end of today, I'm going to steam episodes of my favorite shows that I missed while in France. And eat popsicles.
