TGIF!!!

I feel so mentally tired. I'm very happy it's Friday! Down .2 lbs. Still above my starting point. I'll get there eventually, but this is sure slow going! And while .2 lbs isn't very much, that loss means weighing less every morning after eating Thai lettuce wraps remains 100% true. :)

I did the Tortoise workout this morning. While the Hare is faster moves with lighter weights, the Tortoise is slower moves with heavier weights. Haven't done this workout since the last time I used my VHS version, about 7 or 8 years ago. It was tough!

Reading Kate's comments about how many books she's read so far this year, (WOW!), and thinking about packing my stuff, has made me start to consider purging some of my books, again. I've been spending a lot of time reading subtitles, so haven't been adding to my book collection. Still have a ton of books, though. I was really ruthless before moving here from California, and I regretted getting rid of as many books as I did. This time, I'll hang on to my favorite science fiction hard covers. I'm beginning to think having electronic versions of everything I want might be the way to go, and I can reduce a lot of the STUFF I have. On the other hand, I like the aesthetic appeal of real hard cover books on the shelves in my library. An electronic book is never going to have the same appeal as a gold-embossed leather-bound edition. Can't make up my mind about anything these days. Not about books, nor even about where I want to live. I'd really like it if someone would move Key West to the mainland and make it affordable, though.

Started a dream diary. After a week of writing down my dreams, (in a very lovely iPad app), I've come to the conclusion that I'm just plain weird. Last night I tried to pay for some little thing with a Canadian $5 bill. The lady behind the counter looked at me as if to say, "What am I supposed to do with that?" Then she showed me she couldn't even change it because all she had was a $330 bill. I've really got to start having more interesting dreams! Or maybe a more interesting life to inspire more interesting dreams.

2 hours 12 minutes total exercise today. 1 hour Tortoise workout. 1 hour 12 minutes on the treadmill. 7,905 aerobic steps. 9,604 total steps.

I need some sun. Maybe a little vitamin D will make me feel better.
