Today, I am being as lazy as my fat cat, Tootie. He's incredibly lovable, but he certainly doesn't move very fast. Later this evening I'll go to the gym and work out, but right now, I'm just frittering the hours away in an offhand way. (Obscure Pink Floyd quote.)
Since I joined Elevate Fitness here in my home town, I have actually lost about 12 pounds, and I am starting to tone up. I am not nearly as horrified when I see myself sideways in the mirror although I am a long way from physically fit and svelte. I am getting closer. My goal is to lose 30 pounds total or maybe even more if I can. When I go back to school, I would like to be in the 220's. I haven't seen that in years. That means I need to lose about 15 more pounds in the next month. Probably won't happen, but I might surprise myself. I feel so much better, and my aches and pains don't ache and pain so much. Exercise is the closest thing humans have to a fountain of youth. Tootie needs to work out at the gym too.
The Cardinals are still in first place with the best record in baseball though they are only one game ahead of the Pirates. It will be interesting to see if they make any trades before the deadline. I'm not sure if their starting staff is going to hold up. However, Carpenter appears to be on the road back. Wow, how great would that be!
I am working on some writing projects. Two, to be exact. A screenplay and a novel revision. I'm thinking about branching out and doing some general freelancing, but I'm not sure about it. There's this website called elance.com that looks promising. I'll keep you apprised. (appraised?)
It is supposed to get up to 96 degrees with a heat index of 104 today. Then, we have a cool down. We got a little shower in Arcadia yesterday after I mowed my grass and washed my car. Oh, well.
I don't have anything to rant about although one thing is a little annoying to me. There's this new thing on the Internet called askfm.com or something like that. My Twitter feed is getting clogged with some of that stuff, and it's a little annoying. Why does there have to be a web site or an app to ask people questions. Why don't people just ask?
The art of conversation is dying. I've even caught myself saying ... aloud ... lol and omg. Gag me!
