ups and downs

so yesterday left me feeling all mixed up. the day didn't start out great, a serious of little things that didn't make my life particularly easier (getting your period, being broke, and your bike wheel nearly falling off on the way to work rarely do), but luckily I am not cursed, and in fact, to be quite frank (or quite Linda P.) Blessed.
It is honestly for me, the littlest things that make me too excited to be living my pretty boring, simple life.  Its those things like, getting to work and their being an adjustable spanner to tighten the wheel (even someone who wants to do it for you, and does it wrong, but hey its the thought that counts), being told i could enter fitness competitions (LOL), someone lending me a fiver, that leave me no room to complain.
even when you are planning on a big night out and well it falls through because of something retarded (ummm like getting there too late when its only 10:30pm...) its not so bad bc you are in good company the whole time, and well, you made an effort and this and that, so its ok.

feb

Its such a funny month, February (mostly bc it is spelled so effing stupid).  It's like the winter still but you know at the end of the month will be march, and then its ok. bc spring will be there before you know it.  Feb. (honestly it wrecks my head even writing the whole name this morning) is also the second month of the year, meaning most people will have broken new years resolutions around now. I'm one of them. Fortunately, i can start again, and i think that is exciting.  There are some things i managed to keep up (even through the second week of this month), like eating fruit.  Sometimes i actually eat a whole banana (almost) just regular (i've done this twice!).
This will also be the end of cross country season for me, two more races left this month and thats it. i've had to take so many days off bc of my knee and i'm pretty tired of it already!
i also woke up this morning and ate a bunch of candy and listened to fleetwood mac. thats never good.

wtf seriously

sometimes i just want to digest food normally. is that too much to ask?
and other times i dont really care much.
today, it is inconvenient, and i need to get ready for work. boring.

This has nothing to do with my bodily functions, but its what i see a lot of times when im coming home from work. it smells bad there.

here is a photo

of me and ingrid in a shop with a really giant beautiful princess mirror.

just thinking

im just getting ready to go to work. i was going to do a run in finsbury park this morning but my stomach is in bits. im not sure if i should run to work or if i should take the tube. i will probably run. too much food, and too much bad food. no good. but i cant stop thinking about that ad in the tube the other day. i will have to try and get a photo of it.
I was actually SO enthralled in it that i nearly forgot to get off the train at my stop, barely squeaking out the doors last second.
its not like worlds best ad or anything (maybe it is...) but its so cute and has lil pictures of food on it.. HA
i better go put on some lycra.

recently

Some things I encountered recently:

Pregnant french lesbians on the tube that are really into build'a bears

holding hands with a small child named Amir while his parents looked at the gym-
Amir: what is in there?
me: weights and machines for exercising...
Amir: Exercising!

Some thugs speaking in sign language on the overground train

A man and a woman being polite to the point of being rude over a seat on the tube

Being told I had sexy hair on my way to work. In reality my hair is so freaking dirty my head itches right now.

A strange girl that looked normal, but i knew she wasn't bc she was singing to herself in a way that maybe you only really do when you are safe at home and know no one can see you.

Cats in my back garden I cant get to bc i am not strong enough to open the back door to go and try to catch them

work

i have a date with a 73 year old man, one year from today. i am also the nicest person that every worked in that gym. i am miss nj. rabbits, cows and ravens are all members. OH! and yes foot attended every now and then too.

tonite i attended aerodance class for the first time (LOL). 

I also ran 10 miles total. and did a total body strength training session in 27 min (very very intense, especially for me....).

i make frequent trips to the sauna to heat up. fruit smoothies for lunch. fried chili peppers on the way home for dinner.

wearing pajamas all day (trackies, if thats what you wanna call them, but they FEEL like pajamas).

there are other things, for other days.

keys

So i was talking about this over the weekend, and when i think about it, well, its pretty weird. I have keys to about 4 different houses that aren't mine, but don't have keys to my "home" (my moms house).  This isn't  a recent thing, like, bc i left the country a few years ago and didn't need them any more.  I may have never actually owned a set of keys to the house.  I was talking to my sister about this one day (i can't help myself, i like to talk about my lack of keys), and well, she doesn't have keys to the house either. Nor does my eldest brother, the other brother or his wife, or my dad.  My mom. she is the only one who actually has her own set of keys to the house. I was telling someone this the other night (not only was he confused, but at that moment, i also realized how confusing the situation was), and he then suggested, "well she is at home a lot then, to let people in right?" HA, no, she is the one who is LEAST likely to be home.
So the situation is this: all the rest of us (6 of us in total) all share one key. i actually can't NOT LOL when i think about this. 6 people have been sharing the same key FOR YEARS! and somehow it works out. lol
