I tried to be good, but I've given back in to my sinful nature. I know better, understand the reasons why, and know it is physically possible to be good - but I just couldn't stand it anymore. I turned the heat back up to 68. I tried to keep it at 65. If I've talked to you on the phone lately, I was under a blanket when I did it. I wore 2 shirts and a jacket in my own house. Why I can hike in shorts and a t-shirt when it's 50, but in my house 70 seems chilly, I don't know. I'm sick of being flannelled. I'm sick of my hand always hurting when it's cold and I try to use the computer. Most of all, I'm sick of waking up all night because every time I move a blast of arctic (65 deg) fair comes rolling under the covers with me - prompting a short wake, cocoon roll, and shivering until the chill is fought back. Fuck all that - I turned the thermostat back up last night and got a good nights sleep. I want to save energy. I want to save money. I want to be used to a colder environment so when I go outside I don't feel the chill as much. I just can't stand to be that cold in my home.

I'm not going to the hospital as much, and today at 11:30 they move my dad to a Baltimore rehab facility (that he may never actually leave, long story, don't ask or comment).

What do you do when you get home?
Yesterday I skipped the gym, had no events lined up, and just went home after work. Actually I stopped by the video store, but they didn't have grindhouse or Hero, so I gave up (does hollywood video suck?) I read and watched tv, did some telephone talking...but it just seemed like I had a full day there at home doing nothing. What do normal people do when they get home? Or, what do my friends do? Do you watch 6 hours of tv? Read 3 and watch 3? Work out every day? Cook? Commute so you only arrive in time to sleep? What are people doing when they only work an 8 hour day?

What do you do when you get home?

Lessee...my summer/winter routine is slightly different from spring/fall, because I tend to schedule my time around what I laughingly call my "exercise routine." Since it's cold and dark by the time I get off work, these days when I come home I put in 35-40 minutes on the stationary bike or treadmill (while reading); play on the innernetz for a while; cook (or heat up, depending on exhaustion) and eat dinner; read and/or watch whatever crap I've Tivo'd for a couple of hours; call beloved boyfriend; sleep around 11:30.

Friday is a big night for me because I do laundry and watch "What Not to Wear." I know! You just wish you had my life!
