Quirks
posted in Lawyering and the Like, Running, WOTWIFLI |First, a running update. Eighteen mile run was great. I was thinking about how much I love our running route. We get to watch a beautiful sunrise over the ocean and follow it as it creeps up on the marina. As the morning progresses, the sky’s soft pastel palette gives way to a bright blue. And on this particular run, we crossed a low-lying stretch of land surrounded by piercing blue water on both sides. Although it was chillier than usual, we all still showed up before daybreak in our running shorts. Shorts. In December. I really can’t imagine that there are many better places to train for a marathon.
Second, those of you who know me (i.e., everyone who reads this blog because I force them to and then quiz them about it) know I’m generally super laid back. I don’t get stressed easily and I definitely don’t anger easily. I do however ocasionally obsess over completely mundane and random things. Most recently, this lead me to pay $33 for a paperback book. It was $33 because I had to have it shipped from Australia. Yup, Australia. It’s the third book in one of my favorite series. I picked up the first book in the US. I bought the second one from the UK when I realized there was a year difference in the US/UK release dates. I purchased the most recent one from Australia because I couldn’t even wait for the UK release. At this rate, I may have to purchase the next book from Antartica. I’m estimating that reading this entire series will cost me approximately a million dollars.
Third, I’ve realized (again) that I should never, ever try to do work from home. Ever. Seriously, why do I keep deluding myself? Why? Sigh. Not so coincidentally, this week’s WOTWIFLI is faineant. As in, I’ve definitely been more faineant than diligent this weekend.
