At least I’m having veggies today. I had some veggies and tofu from the Chinese place for lunch today and I have some celery and baby carrots on the side. Later I’ll have some fruit salad.

I’m going to leave work early to go home and throw laundry in. Hopefully there won’t be other people there. It’s very stressful having to share a laundry room with other people in our building. The worst are the moms with the big families who take all 7 machines at once. Ok, I know kids are laundry generators, but couldn’t you have left 2 machines for someone else? I don’t ask much. And I generally only use two machines at once even if I have four loads to do. Heck, the building is supposed to be a housing co-op which implies that you have agreed to live communally with other people – but you wouldn’t always know it based on some people’s selfish behavior. Really, the world would be a better place with less self-involved individuals allowed to do what they want without regard to anyone else’s needs.

Ok, enough ranting.

I just had a moral victory in that I did visit the Dreaded Vending Machine (DVM) but just bought sugarless gum even though the granola bar was softly singing my name. Actually the gum was probably a better choice in that I think I’m clenching my jaw when I write for long periods of time. Chewing gum seems to help me not clench and actually loosens my neck and shoulders a bit. I could really use a good stretch. Or a bike ride (just because it is fun).

I read LindaT’s blog and have to ask myself the same question: Am I committed to this process? If I’m not, I better get to the point where I am or it will never work. Heck, most days I would agree that I should “be committed”, but that’s in another context. ;)
