I know, how many leaves are around me already?! It’s not autumn! I need to buy a rake already!

Well, this one’s work-related. I’ve been inspired to shape up and do some maintenance on the occupational pillar. I’ve been neglecting it for awhile because it’s such an auto-pilot thing for me. I’m gonna put in more effort now.

And in order to shape up work, I need to shape up home and structure my free time better. I started yesterday. Altho I didn’t finish cleaning up the house until 10pm and I didn’t want to start laundry I’d fall asleep in the middle of and have wrinkled or shrunken clothes, I did vacuum the entire house including the stairs itself (pain in the arse!), brushed Dodo until he looked much thinner and happier, did an hour of yoga (my body’s off because certain poses hurt me), had chicken soup, then fell asleep early. I fell short there, too… ideally I’d have gone upstairs and showered and gone to bed, but I just knocked out and had to shower this morning before work. I’ll try again tonite.

This morning I was up at 6:30am 😮 and showered and was on my way to work at 7:20am. Because I was in the work neighborhood so darn early, I decided to go to Starbucks for a treat. “Grande caffe mocha with soy, please.” The lady said, “I’m sorry, we just ran out of soy.” Who runs out of ingredients at 7:30 in the morning?! I walked dejectedly out of there and treated myself instead to a Jack in the Box breakfast. Actually, I’m gonna check and see how many calories that meal set me back by. The important thing is, however, that I was AT WORK BEFORE 8AM!!!!!!!!
