A little effort...

So I made an effort not to be sweatpants mom, today.

And I completely had a brighter day, despite the forty degree rain.

It's probably just because Kurt was home this morning and I got to sleep in and then take a real shower, with soap everywhere, not just in the important areas. You know which areas I'm talking about...

It's probably just because I got to have lunch with my husband and Louisey while Scouty played at her friend's house. Kurt and I even got to have a conversation.

Whatever the reason, I didn't feel totally ugh today, and it was just what I needed.

I am totally prepared and planning to spend the rest of the evening in an empty house with Jenny on the radio. I'm going to stay hunched over my typewriter, working on cleaning up my book, and considering the possibility of writing a query. Is it even possible to condense everything you've ever had to say into a catchy one-sentence tag line? I guess it must be. I lied, though. I'll actually be hunched over my computer desk, but, you know.

I need to go back to the gym tonight. I took a whole week off, just to get out of the line of treadmills and evening sweating moms who JUST NEED A BREAK. I want to get out of my routine. I think it's starting to break me, just a little. So, I rode my bike and took a few walks, and admittedly didn't sustain 145 beats for thirty or more minutes. I also didn't escape, like I thought I might, so I'm going back. I need a little Hang On To Yourself until I'm dizzy.
