Woke up and made some real oatmeal today. It was delicious. I don't really know why i went all those years eating cereal when i could have been eating oatmeal. What a shame.
I skipped school today, (i.e. couldn't actually afford to go) and turned in my assignments online. It was a good day, a little bit lazier than it should have been though.
I did my exercises while the sun was in the sky, this is the first tuesday i've been able to do that. It was pretty nice. My little niece watched me jump rope with some curiosity. She'd sit up on the couch, i'd ask her if she was ready, and when she nodded i'd start to jump. Eventually she started bouncing on the couch with the rhythm of the jumps. A good and cheerful distraction from the actual exercise. In fact, i had almost everyone in the house come and watch me exercise at least once. I'm not one to enjoy being on display, but i didn't mind so much as i thought i would.
I worry a little about my ankle, it's not the PCP's fault by any means, it's always been in a state of disrepair, but i've got to play around stretching it better, and maybe use some tiger balm so it doesn't distract me during jumps.
Alright, until next post
It seems to be a fact of life that people STARE at you when you jumprope. Maybe the rhythm is hypnotic?
ReplyDeleteMy 10-month old son is completely hypnotized by it. He sits on the floor watching, clapping along and waving back and forth. When I stop he actually gets mad and starts crying.
ReplyDeleteThere must be some primal thing going on deep in our monkey-brain or something...
Oats are Awesome
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the ankle. Each day I am glad that it does not snap
