Day Three

Dear Blog,

Yesterday was seriously very unproductive. Slept most of the day and finally caught up on episodes of "How I Met Your Mother". That was the biggest accomplishment. I did get to go to the grocery store with my good friend Sarah and was nice to visit with her and to have a ride to and from the store, which I never have. Other than that, basically was my final day of sleeping during the day and recovering from the flu. I usually have the Sunday night blues before going back to work on Mondays, but since I haven't been at work in 2 weeks, I was actually excited with anticipation. I'm actuallly typing this at work and starting to get hit with fatique, but it's still nice to be back into a routine again.

More on today later....

Day Two

Dear Blog,

Today was an exciting day...I left the building. My first big adventure included going to the post office to pick up a gift my uncle sent to me. It was supposed to arrive a week before Christmas, but it didn't and then I was in the suburbs for 9 days. By the time I got back, my mailbox was too full for it to fit into and I received one of those notes indicating I needed to pick it up; well then the flu happened all week and finally today I was able to collect my gift and put this saga behind me. It was a very active morning! Then I decided to workout for the first time in almost 2 weeks and dry heaved quite a bit...my lungs weren't used to the activity. It's amazing how easy it is for your body to become accustomed to doing absolutely nothing. So clearly after my 30 minute boot camp cardio workout, I needed a 2 hour nap.

My second big adventure of the day was meeting up with a couple of friends to go see a movie downtown. We saw "Up in the Air", starring George Clooney, which was about a lonely guy who was about to earn 10 million frequent flyer miles who fires people from their job. It was actually a really good movie that made me appreciate the fact that I have loved ones that I look forward to chatting and visiting with. The strangest part of my day was participating in a debate about whether or not to feel sorry for mothers who abandon/kill their babies. I argued against feeling sorry for them given the Safe Haven law and the basic being against murdering other humans aspect. We agreed to disagree.

So there you have it. Wasn't the most exciting day, but given the past few days, I'll gladly take my two adventures and keep them.

Day One

Dear Blog,

Ok, so let's be honest. Nothing too exciting was expected to happen right out of the gate. The most excitement that I faced today was when I accidentally locked my apartment keys in the laundry room and couldn't get back in to get them. So I had to wait for someone to walk in the building so I could request their help. This wouldn't have been so bad except that I was hoping to go undetected while doing laundry since I was wearing a house coat over faded capri pajama pants and my fuzzy slippers. Other than that minor derailment of my otherwise completely less than ordinary day, there was nothing too noteworthy to report. It's kind of hard to experience awesomeness when you never actually leave the building or communicate with the outside world. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant and relaxing day spent sleeping, eating, and watching TV shows online. Tomorrow; however, I have big plans to face the world. I might get coffee, see a movie, pick up mail...who knows, anything is possible.
