Day 52

I am so impressed with myself today! It seems like it’s been forever since I had a day to do nothing, and maybe today wasn’t really one of those since I set goals for the day, but they were mostly goals related to doing fun things and taking it easy. For someone who is less organized that I would like to be, I do enjoy the feeling that comes from checking things off of a to do list or completing a goal, even an easy one. I am proud to report that I have really been knocking myself out and achieving the goals I set for myself.  Here’s an update on each goal:

1. Go for at least two runs.

One down, at least one to go. A rough 6 miles with Cousin Tim, but at least I got out there. 

2. Do at least six hours of reading/homework.

I read for a solid 30 minutes before I got distracted and started texting my friends about races we want to do and signing up for a 50K in December. Plenty of time to do this tomorrow, and I’ll leave my phone in another room. Just 5.5 hours to go!

3. Take at least two naps.

One down, at least one to go. 

4. Watch at least four hours of TV.

I am roughly halfway through this one. I watched one episode of Summer Heights High and am watching To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix. (It’s so good! I’ve added the book to my Amazon cart for some light, non-school reading.) I thought I’d be watching the LSU game, but we don’t have ESPN (or many other channels), so I’ve been checking the scores and occasionally reading posts with #LSU on Twitter. 

5. Wear my pajamas for at least 24 hours.

I am crushing this one. I exclusively wore pajamas other than when I wore running clothes for about two hours. Scooter gave Richard the fake out when he made two attempts to take her for a walk tonight, so I thought for sure she was going to fake me out too. She didn’t, and that’s the story of how I took my dog on a walk in the dark in my pajamas. 

6. Maybe do some laundry. 

Two loads washed, dried, and folded. Maybe I’ll put it up tomorrow. 

I am going to be ready for next week. Who knows, maybe I won’t even be exhausted by the middle of the week!

Something that made today great: Not having to leave my house for any reason. 

Time I woke up: 9:15 am
