sings a song that reminds him of the better times.

Things about today:

I woke up at 7am. Either I'm up at 5:30 for work, or I'm up whenever I feel like it (somewhere between 12 and 1). There usually is no middle ground. Surprisingly, I felt GREAT this morning. It's incredible what I've been able to accomplish simply by not sleeping the day away.

I had time to sip my morning coffee, took a nice drive to my ophthalmologist's office, drove home. Found that boyfriend hadn't made his way to school yet so I offered him a ride. It was nice having a few minutes to chat with him and to wish him a good day in person (usually I send that in a text when I wake up).

Took care of some stuff at home, no pressure or time commitments. I had a test to take at school (at the testing center) so I made my over while singing my lungs off in the car. Test went well (I think?) and it feels really good to have that out of the way early in the week (it wasn't due until Friday).

Went back home to catch up on some emails, got bored with the internet and decided to go to the gym. I added another month to my membership (it would have ended tomorrow but since the weather is not letting up, I took the plunge for another month). I miss running outdoors, but any exercise is better than no exercise so on the dreadmill I went. Started watching Celine Dion's Taking Chances World Tour (Montreal) on my iPad. I own the Boston show on DVD but I never got the chance to buy the French show... that's the good thing about running on the treadmill. Boyfriend usually has the iPad at the gym because I'm almost always running outside, but if I plan things right I can go to the gym early in the day and get to watch videos during a run. Technology, genius.

Lunch, shower, dress for work. Today is one of those special kind of days when the sun shines just right and your heart swells with happiness.

I know I can make the right food choices when I dedicate myself. I know I can get myself to exercise because I love the feeling of getting my ass kicked by a good run. My next serious goal is to wake up earlier every day. I have a life to live!
