3.1.9

I've been working on various assignments pretty much all day, and I still have major project to finish before bedtime. This week is going to be demanding, but it also holds the potential to fulfilling.

I worked out this afternoon, instead of Monday morning, since I have to be on-campus oh-so-early. It felt good, though, to be starting Week Two, Day Three of 100 push-up challenge. The last set of 8 push-ups was a challenge, but the first four reps almost didn't feel like a work-out. Yay!

I'm modifying the vegetarian experiment to eating dinners with meat besides fish or shrimp. So I'm firmly in the flexitarian camp, right now. I also need to clean out my fridge, so I can cook NEXT WEEKEND. Or maybe Wednesday.

I'm on an intramural softball team consisting mostly of grad students in my department. They needed another girl, and I need to get out more. So on snowy, wintery Saturday, the boyfriend bought me a softball glove and a softball for Christmas. Yes, I realize that Saturday was FEBRUARY 28TH. Truly, it's the thought that counts. I held off on receiving a random gift at Christmastime, as I honestly did not know what I wanted. (Besides a kitty tower for Izzy.) When I mentioned I had been asked to play softball and seriously considered doing so, he said, "I'll get you a glove for your Christmas gift." I said, "Ok. That's a good idea." I looked for a picture of my glove, but can't find one on-line. Well, I'll have to take a picture of it-- and the bright pink softball.* Right field, here I come!

I spent too much time looking for an image of my glove, so I need to do other things besides procrastinate.

*I'm not sharing my bright pink softball with the team. We both felt silly getting a glove, but not a ball.
