brightbluegirlI'm feeling nice and slow today.
That makes no sense.
I'm feeling... relaxed and comfortable and la di da today.
Better?
Huh. Everything is the same, but I'm different. That's a positive, but I don't know what I did to accomplish this.
Last night was nice. Like a vacation. I came home to discover that Andrew had lovingly prepared dinner (salmon steaks with baked potato and cabbage salad - it really is hard to be vegan when you love fish as much as I do). There were candles burning and Sigur Ros on the stereo. It was quite nice.
Afterwards, I kinda felt like having a nap, even though I wasn't all that tired. He put me to bed and I drifted off for 1/2 an hour or so. I woke up feeling cozy and lazy, but with lots of ideas in my head about how to improve my stress level and life in general.
When I got up, Andrew was having a bath, so I climbed in with him and we snuggled and I told him some of the stuff that appeared in my head when I woke up. It was a wonderful, quiet, easy time.
Then he got out of the bath but I stayed in and called a friend of mine. We talked for over an hour, I'm guessing, while I got progressively more and more wrinkled. It was nice.
When that was done, I got out of the bath and put on my workout clothes. It was 9:30, but bedamned if I was going to skip working out! So I jumped on the ellipse and turned on Footloose.
I had one of those good workouts - the kind start with you noticing your legs are tired, the groove isn't quite there... but then by the end you feel like you could go forever. I ended feeling warm and fit and healthy and proud. It was only 45 minutes - I think it's time to up it to 60.
I've been sweating more, I wonder why? Maybe because I've upped my speed, or maybe because I'm healthier? I dunno.
Anyway, I stretched while we finished watching Footloose, and I went to bed singing "FOOT LOOSE, FOOT LOOSE, Take off your Sunday shooooooes...." (Everybody dance everybody dance nah nah, Everybody Dance Everybody Dance nah nah...)
Happy, low stress moments give me so much.
Tonight I am working until 6:30, then I'm meeting Andrew at the library. We're going to get some books, finally deposit my cheque, and have sushi. Sounds lovely, eh? It'll be terrif.
