64º


Even though I wasn't tired this morning, I had a difficult time getting out of my comfy covers. When I did my apartment seemed cold as it always does leaving my warm bed. After my walk and trip to the grocery store, my apartment still seemed quite cold. Getting into the shower was freezing. Stepping out of the shower was frost bite. I decided to grab the air conditioner remote, not because I needed to use it, because a thermometer is part of the remote. It read 64º. This is not OK.

Getting assistance was more complicated than I had imagined. At first it looked easy; the building manager was entering his apartment as I went to get my mail contemplating whom to call. He came over and turned the zone valve to manual. Easy? Of course not! We spent the next 45 minutes conversing about everything from the apartment to sports. Plus I still need to call to get maintenance to fix the problem next week. My apartment is now at 67º. This is not OK, but it is better.

My gratitude list for today:
1) purple tulips and candles
2) calls from V, D, and Dad
3) nowhere to go in the ice mixture

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
