over the summer, i forget, and when fall rolls around, i remember again. houston weather can be pleasant. take this morning, for example. it’s in the mid-70s, and i think the humidity might actually be less than 95%. it was downright lovely outside. of course it’s only early september, and the heat will return, but it’s a nice preview of what late fall is like.
my arms hurt even more today than they did yesterday, though the pain has moved from my forearms into my upper arms and shoulders. i guess it really is true that your muscles aren’t most sore until at least 24 hours after doing whatever you did to make them sore. i got progressively more sore as the day went on yesterday, and this morning it took five minutes to drag myself out of bed. ow. perhaps i climbed a little too much on wednesday.
also, the climbing combined with the enchanted rock hiking of the weekend have angered my ankle. it’s trying to swell again. stupid ankle.
last night was one of those nights where i just didn’t feel like doing anything. i ran a few errands, and then went home and laid on the couch in front of the tv for two solid hours. i didn’t even turn on any lights, which is probably bad for my eyes, but oh well. i finally dragged myself up to fix dinner and finish putting away all my clothes that have been lying in a pile on the floor for the two weeks since i moved. mom’s assessment of a few years ago is still correct, it seems; i have way too many t-shirts. i don’t know how i can possibly wear so many t-shirts. as such, even though it pains me somewhat to do away with t-shirts from college activities such as team buzz, women’s leadership conference, engineer’s bookstore buying binges and my numerous co-op tours, i put together quite a large bag of stuff to take to goodwill. this still leaves quite a large pile of t-shirts, since i run so many races, but i can’t bear to throw the race shirts away just yet. i’m trying to come up with something good to do with them. there is always the t-shirt quilt option, but it seems that 1) eventually i’d end up with a lot of quilts and 2) it costs money to have one made, and i don’t know if i could sew it myself. anyway. i’d welcome suggestions on what to do with my oodles of t-shirts. 🙂
i’m hungry. my stomach is growling already. grr grr.
