muscle

I've started doing push-ups and sit-ups every morning again. I'm starting off small because I haven't done them every day since high school. It helps a lot to just jump out of bed and do something physical, even though I'm all groggy and junk. I did 15 of each today, I'll do 25 of each tomorrow, 35 the next day, and then 50 of each the next. Exercise is pretty cool if you have the time and patience for that crap. Running would be the ultimate exercise for me (it's in my genes!) but it is also the most time-consuming and exhausting to do correctly. If I ran, I would want to run at least 5 miles a day twice a week. That wouldn't take that much time, I guess, but it would be hard for me to run on a day when I had been working. I'm making a rule for summer too- read at least 3 books a month and write something every day whether it be in journal or blog form. We'll see how it goes- I can get pretty lazy in the summer, and there's always lots of other stuff going on to distract me.

Lauren is coming in town tomorrow, my sister is graduating from UMKC on saturday, and I am going to be broke for all of it. Spain was 'spensive. Not having money has never stopped me from having fun before, though, and I guess I'm getting used to it. In two weeks I will have worked at Habitat for one year. I've never had a job for this long, so I guess that's saying something. I did work at Pizzaria Uno three different times in three years, but that's because they're dumb and I rule, so it doesn't really count. Suckers.
