While I was off injured from work I had a little time to surf the net, check in on things that interest me.
One is a blog called Inhabitat: education, youth, design, sustainability. I entered a comment about Jane Jacobs (whose work I love) in a "Meet the Editors" contest, went to the webinar, and : won the prize drawing.
A brand-new Danish Biomega Boston bicycle. Black (as it turns out).
Gorgeous.
Am going to pick it up today.
So excited, so nervous. When I was 18, 20, even 30, this would have made perfect sense to me: young, energetic, lively. But now? Am I too fat? too old? is this going to be a waste? No.
Now it makes even more sense. I need to be in shape, to feel healthy and able. I was always good with a bicycle; my bones are strong even though my muscles have gotten a bit weak. I'm looking forward to this so much.
More, later. XOXO for now, off with the housemate on my adventure.

Paul Rodriguez narrates this one hour doc on salt in the water supplies of various parts of California, and how what we do here in the Bay Area affects and is affected by water use elsewhere, statewide water policy, and other things. I had a chance to see it tonight at work. It's well worth seeing.

MIA a bit because of reading for uni, and fighting off a sinus infection with sleep, hydration, nutrition, and Zicam. damn viruses.
however. by my count, 8 weeks of uni left, and the two papers for Critical Thinking (which, it seems, will just need to wait until i have two well-rested, not-arrogant brain cells to rub together), and, all other things being equal, i'll be able to graduate.
and then it's just all about getting healthy, as best i can. even better nutrition. appropriate exercise, as much as i can fit in around work and sleep. saving money, to cut down worry over travel and getting older. writing! oh, writing, and beading, and gardening! and sewing! and reading for fun!
so i DO have a plan. but for today, it's probably to finish work, go home, rinse my sinuses, have a nice hot bath, rinse my sinuses again, take my meds, and curl up in bed with the laptop and my uni reading until i crash.
and if I wake up in time and feel rested enough, catch the late (8:20 pm) show of Appaloosa before work at the lad's house tonight.
and that's the news from here. how are all y'all?
