rolanni: (1995)

Well, the Big News here is that my yoga instructor told me today that I'm ready to go on to the next level of yoga, if I'm willing to stretch myself.  So to speak.  I don't think I've ever been told that I was ready to move on to the next level of anything, so, yay! Yogi Rolanni!

Understand, this would be a move from Gentle Yoga to Foundation Yoga -- think ascending from kindergarten to first grade -- and I'm not going to do any switching around of the Schedule-in-Place until we get back from the book tour -- which may be gaining one more stop, in Maine.  Watch the skies for more information on that!

After yoga, and stopping at the town office to fill out my absentee ballot, and, also, errands -- honestly, where do all these errands come from?  I can't imagine how I had time to fit a day-job into my schedule -- Steve and I decided to be grasshoppers and to dine at Jin Yuan on Temple Street.  We had between us a crab rangoon/egg roll plate and pepper beef -- and still brought leftovers home.  After, as we took a small walking tour of downtown, somehow two mini-cannoli snuck into our pockets, which we dealt with properly upon our arrival home, thus making it a Truly International Day.

I believe I may have been remiss in reporting Trooper's acquisition of A Box.  Apparently, he had been wanting a box; possibly he had even requested a box, but the new Thumbs are a little dense.  In any case, he finally took matters into his own paws, and adopted a box.

As you can see, it's a little snug for him:








Trooper inna box






Trooper inna box




...but we don't dare try to take it away from him:








The dragon is IN






The dragon is IN




rolanni: (Exit Stage Left)

Scattered day, much thinking, small writing. I suspect that I will write one more chapter, so that I’ve achieved a Certain Point, then print out and read what’s here.

I did go to the gym today and meet with the trainer. I now have a workout routine! I did half of said workout routine today, as part of the training. My stomach muscles? Are really pissed off at me. I’m committing to three days a week — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday — an hour each day, even if I have to wimp out on the strength-building machines at first, and finish out the hour on the treadmill or the bike.

Go, me.

The other thing of note that I did today was order a new alarm clock. This was unexpectedly time consuming. Who knew buying a clock would be so hard? All I wanted was a dual alarm atomic clock with a thermometer. After much shopping and reading of reviews and specs, I compromised with a SmartSet Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Jumbo 1.3-Inch LED Display and Time Projector (Silver). You may ask, and reasonably, Why did you buy a clock that projects the time? And I would be forced to say, It came with.

Maybe there’ll be a way to turn it off.

In other news, I am exploring ways to offer print books to people who want them. To that end, I will be doing a tour of Lulu and seeing how much of a strain it will be to upload Barnburner as my Test Case.

Anybody who’s used Lulu have any advice/insight/warnings?
