This week, I'm thinking...
- that hand-dyeing purple scarves just seems to keep coming back into my life.
- how it just makes much more sense to buy a large volume of purple dye concentrate at this point.
- that it's a good thing I like the color purple.
- that weaning myself off coffee before traveling to Burma is probably the safest bet.
- that Burma is much more of a tea-drinking country anyway.
- that I do love me some good tea, so there is that.
- that it's hard to believe that what essentially comes down to a hand-held blue flashlight can actually kill bacteria when I stick it in a bottle of water.
- that science rocks.
- that our votes do count, especially when it comes down to the count of the absentee ballots to figure out who won the election.
- that I owe a lot to the suffragettes.
- that, on the other hand, I'm so glad my phone has stopped ringing.
- how a week without any evening conference calls nearly feels like I'm on vacation.
- how good it is to be back in the gym consistently.
- how lifting weights, while important, isn't a whole lot of fun.
- that it's true--you discover muscles you never know you had when you wake up and get out of bed the next morning. Ouch.
- how the second day muscle-ache is always worse than the first, and that's just kind of weird.
- that finding a good app for my phone to track my weight lifting and help me set goals has been more of a pain than it should be.
- how hopeful I am that the one I'm using now will really work out for me. (And how I'll do a review at some point if it does work well.)
- that I like just having to toss my phone, earbuds, and water bottle in my purse and I'm ready for a solid session at the gym. No notebooks and pens to keep track of. Yay. I hope.
- that the time change and earlier nightfall really does change my whole sense of time.
- how, when it's still light out, 7p feels early and I think of all the things I can still do before going to bed, but when it's dark, I find myself thinking, "Sheesh, it's already 7? Where did the day go?"
- how that means it's probably time to pull out the sun-lamp.
