i'm not sure what is causing it, the cold (we're down in the single-digits again) or the fact that i ate like shit yesterday, (or had subway for the first time in ages) or poor sleep, or negative thoughts, but i woke up fairly congested this morning. oh, i also didn't work out last night because the house didn't warm up until almost 10pm, and my muscles were too cold to do anything. i finally had to get my little space heater out, because i was freezing my ass off! maybe that was the problem!? anyway, i'm gonna grab some coffee soon & hopefully, that will get my body working to clear this stuff away.
i had a great convo with a girl from one of my discussion boards, and not the board you'd think, considering the subject matter. we really geeked out & talked about muscle gycolosis, the methods of action of muscle cells, actin & myosin, the chemical reactions of atp to adp, releasing a phosphate for energy, how calcium acts to open cell receptors to accept the end of the (myosin?) filament to enable muscle contraction, etc... really in-depth science stuff, and it was really cool to have that kind of intellectual conversation. she's really a cool chick, and i think she's great, but unfortunately, not my dating type. she used to be fairly heavy-set, and overly emotional/prone to outbursts. really cute, though, and intelligent (obviously).she started working out a while back, and i've heard she's done really well with it. she's a,lso mellowed out quite a bit, which i'm glad to see - makes talking with her much easier! if she lived closer (and it weren't for one major issue)i might even ask her out. she lives 1.5 hrs away, though, which wouldn't work, but even if it did, the biggest issue is that she has a kid, and i'm really, seriously, not into kids. i mean, other people's kids are fine, but i don't want any, not even indirectly.
we even talked a bit about dating in general a bit. her basic take on it was that she hasn't met anyone worth getting emotionally involved with, so she's content to stay single, as her "little guy" is all she really needs, in her words. i told her i agreed about not finding anyone worth investing in, but that i didn't think i was ok anymore with the thought of being alone forever. that was the last message of the night, and i haven't heard back from her yet. i'm curious to see how the rest of the convo goes, what she has to say about it, since she seems to be ok with the single-ness.
anyway, i got a call last night from the other band guys, asking me to come over & jam this sunday. i kinda thought they'd written me off, but apparently, they've just been busy, so it looks like i'll get a little more practice in soon. i really want to get the guitar back out again, too & see if i can start learning some new stuff on that.
new topic again! i've decided that i'm going to sell the older vehicles & just keep what i'm driving now. i'm going to take the money from that, and my bonus, and tax refund, and start fixing up all the old "vehicles" that need it. maybe i'll even sell some of them. i'm also going to make a huge list of things to fix, and then pick the easiest one first, and go through the list that way. there's a lot of work to do, so it should keep me occupied.
i also think i decided on a "goal" for exercise - we have a local "run" coming up next month; a fun run, a 5k, and a half-marathon. i haven't been running much recently, because i've been lifting heavy for the last month, but now i'm going back to a lighter workout, and i think i can train for the 5k. i actually ran 2 miles last week, and while it was fairly slow, i made it no problem. i don't know if they have a time limit or not, so i'll have to check that. if it goes well, i may hit a bunch of these 5k runs - if i'm around for several runs and people recognize me, it might be a good way to meet some new women, who are into fitness, and therefore, in good shape.
now i need to go find the "couch to 5k" workout online - i've read through it before, but never actually done it, so this will be gfood thing, and hopefully, fun!
ok, gotta run! (HA! i'm so punny!!)
