Today was a day when all of my not doing anything for the past year+ caught up to me. I was achy and dragass all day. The insides of my knees ached, so I just walked on the treadmill instead of running. While doing yoga, my body was stiff, and I had a hard time getting much of anything going (damn passive backbends). I did get the content of my resume pretty locked down, and have picked out some pretty good writing samples for my portfolio. Now all I need to do is put it into some sort of presentable form and get a good foundation for a cover letter drafted and I'll be all set (12).
I also went through a cookbook to pick out some more recipes for this new headache diet I'm on (16). It looks like I'm going to have to actually prepare most or all of my meals from here on out. Restaurant meals, frozen dinners, and canned foods tend to be packed full of stuff that I shouldn't be consuming. As a wise man (20) just told me through an email, if I'm able to get into a routine of procrastinating, I should be able to get into other routines, good routines, as well. With this advice in mind, I'm going to try to cook a dinner every night for the next week. Maybe a week isn't long enough to fully establish a new routine, but I think it will be a start toward good habits that will keep me out of the pitfall of having a weak night and ordering pizza or Chinese food because I'm not used to cooking every night.
I started re-reading Strunk and White's The Elements of Style this afternoon. I have to keep studying it because I have so many bad habits that come up when I get lazy with my writing. And, unfortunately for you, dear reader, this blog sees some of my lazier writing. So maybe if I pound myself over the head with the very good style book, my habits will get better, and you, dear reader, won't have to deal with so many sentences starting with "So," and my numerous crimes against the comma.
I was going to write a bit about the movie I saw tonight, “A Silent Forest: The Growing Threat, Genetically Engineered Trees.” But it was kind of heavy material, and my eyelids are already pretty heavy so I don't know if I can lift any more. But you should see it if you get the chance. Or ask me about it. It was one of those movies that had me thinking "really?" a lot. . .
I'm grateful that there are so very many genuinely helpful people out there (20).

Dude! Why in the world would you cook every night of the week?!!! Don't get me wrong, I love, LOVE, to cook, but my life is too busy to prepare a menu for every night of the week, shop for all the groceries so that I have the appropriate ingredients, and prepare a meal every single night.
LEFT-OVERS!!!!!
Some people can't deal with eating the same meal 2 nights in a row. I guess if you're one of them you can just disregard these statements. As far as I'm concerned, you have a long list to attend to and although learning to cook is on that list, it doesn't mean you have to attack that item every night. I usually prepare 3 meals for the week. One of those meals will surely "serve 6." I can cook on Sunday to have dinner for that night and Monday night. Cook again on Tuesday for that night and Wednesday night and one last time on Thursday to get me through the weekend.
I guess I'm pretty passionate on the subject of "left-overs". Please consider this option as you might be able to work on fixing your nerves (13) if you're not stressing about nourishment.
