VaCaDay 3

John Adams is dead, finally. (And Thomas Jefferson survives. No, wait ...) It was a good mini-series, but it seemed never-ending, which I suppose has something to do with Adams living into his nineties and being a relatively unpleasant person throughout. (The phrase used to describe him repeatedly in the movie 1776 is "obnoxious and disliked.")

I think I have not slept well the nights I watched those episodes, for some reason, and last night, after all the tearful moments of everyone dying here and there, I just tossed and turned for hours. So I'm very tired today. But it was a good day.

I went to Kohl's twice, even though I tried on what I bought in the store, I realized at home that one pair of cropped jeans were okay, but the other fit me really well. So I took back the okay and got another really well in a different color denim. In between, I took stuff to recycling, dropped off my tattoo design so they can prepare it for Thursday, bought lottery tickets, and listened to more Harry Potter in the car. I'm also eating a lot of jelly beans. If I have them in the house, I will eat them. And I have them. But I'm closing the jar now.

I thought I would try one of my exercise videos this morning as soon as I got up, but you know, that early morning exercise thing is a part of my past. I got up mentally prepared to do it, and as I limped into the bathroom on the hip that aches for the first hour or so that I'm up every day, I said to myself "Who are you kidding? You're lucky you can walk at all early in the morning." So. But I did do arm exercises with weights last night, and I'll do that again tonight. I'll have to see when I can work in anything else.

Otherwise, I'm just tired. I really hope I sleep tonight.
