Problems are for Solving

Here it is, an actual blog post.

When I joined the gym last summer and chose the nighttime hours membership (half the price of the unrestricted) it was mostly so I could work out with Theresa. I was concerned about whether I’d be able to get right to sleep after exercising.

It worked out that when we both went she was so tired when we got back that most nights she got right to sleep and that I was a bit wound up. I found, though, that I was wound up in a “I can actually do something”? way as opposed to “I can’t get to sleep but I don’t feel like doing anything productive”? way.

Because of health (birth, appendectomy) and the nursing baby (you know, Margary) TC hasn’t been able to come with me very often. A few times I’ve gotten out pretty late (Monday in particular) but the gym is open until midnight. I was recounting to a friend today that it was nice before that I could be productive in the evenings after working out but that I hadn’t been lately–slipping into a bad habit of messing around and playing games rather than doing something like writing when I’m up late.

And so, tonight, a blog post.

I did 40 minutes of cardio tonight–despite not feeling like working out at all. It felt pretty good actually. I’m going to try to do more of this where I write in the evenings if I’m up past when TC goes to sleep so hopefully you’ll see more regular blog posts (of course I type that as if there were people actually reading my blog).

I’m pretty wound up tonight so I’ll probably write a few posts and have them stagger in for the rest of the week. So if I keep exercising (December I hit the gym 6 times) I should both get healthier and get more writing done.

Yesterday I crossed the Mississippi, traveling from Illinois into Missouri and found myself in Louisiana

How did we ever recover from that?

Well, we had dinner in Mexico..

Glad to be home safe.

But not writing much.

I have several posts wandering around inside my head and I’ll try to get them down on 100% recycled electrons as soon as I can. I’ve got a few other projects that don’t involve writing that are suffering too–and so I won’t make any promises as to when these posts will come.
