5. I forgot Camp NaNoWriMo starts today! Another exciting thing. I signed up and I’m going to do it! I have a really good story idea (well, I think it’s good anyway and it should be fun to write) and I need motivation to write it!

1. It’s the start of a new month! Very exciting. And we’re only one month away from the year’s halfway point, which I also find exciting. 

2. I’m realizing that I actually don’t hate summer. It’s spring I dislike, really. There’s just something about it that is so blah. Summer is all right because I can pretend it actually means something. Like I’m out of school for the summer. Which is a nice idea, even if it doesn’t happen to me and hasn’t happened to me since I was about thirteen. 

3. It’s going to be a hot day, and I have very daringly left my run until the afternoon/evening. We didn’t get to bed til midnight last night and so we got a late start. Plus the Century Link dude was going to be coming this morning and that would have made it complicated. I’m hoping to catch one of the afternoon storms we’ve been promised so I can run in the rain again. 

4. By the way, I’m typing this from the DESKTOP. Which means our internet is finally sorted out! Hurray! And I can upload and edit photos so much easier on here than on the laptop. It’s all very exciting.

1. I tried to run in the park today but I forgot my oxygen mask. 

2. It was SO SO humid that I really did feel like I was trying to run through water. It was horrible. I was supposed to do 5 miles but stopped after 2 because it was just too damned hot. 

3. Going to get up super early tomorrow morning and do it then when it’s still nice and cool.

4. I’m going to go look through the running tag so I can feel good and guilty about skipping out today. Boh.

5. Happy Memorial Day!

1. Feeling a little self-conscious at the moment.

2. Let me tell you why.

3. Today Phil had a soccer game. And at that soccer game, it started pouring down rain. And I really wanted to watch so I did not go hide beneath the pavilion like a sensible person. And besides it had been very very hot and the rain was so nice and cool…actually it got really cold and I was shivering for ages.

4. At half time the game was called and Phil had to go to work from 5 to 9 and I was going to the Coffee Shack until then because it doesn’t make sense to drive back and forth from the house. Phil had brought back up clothes for work, but I had nothing. Because I’m not a sensible person who thinks things through. 

5. So I dropped Phil off at work, and then, drenched and shivering, I drove to Khol’s, because it is the nearest clothing place I know of, and because I need more running shorts anyway. 

6. So there I was, walking through Khol’s, sopping wet, while the shop workers stared at me and muttering behind hands like they were considering kicking me out  for sheer ridiculousness. But they didn’t, and I got two pairs of running shorts for very cheap! Huzzah

7. Then I went to Subway and, trying not to look too suspicious, I went into the bathroom (I had to pee so bad! All that water, I guess) and changed into my new shorts. Then I threw on Phil’s hoodie (which I WAS sensible enough to bring!) 

8. Trouble is, now I’m sitting in the Coffee Shack with very small running shorts on and exposing far more leg than I am used to exposing when not at the beach or pool, and wearing an over-sized hoodie which, let’s face it, could be cleaner, without underwear and without a bra. 

9. The Coffee Shack really is beginning to feel like Second Home. 

EDIT. 

10. Coffee Shack has let me down. Five minutes after 7, I look around and realize I’m the only person there. And then I remember that Coffee Shack closes at 7 on Sundays. Because it is stupid. So now I’m at Barnes and Noble. Not that I don’t love Barnes and Noble, but it’s farther from Phil’s work, more peopled, which means I’m in a very public places and I feel practically NAKED. >.<
