I feel happy & relaxed. It’s nice.
A few months ago I signed up at Planet Fitness – I have unlimited tanning & access to a gym 24/7. For $20 a month, it’s a good deal. I chose the plan with the tanning thinking it might be something I’d want come winter. Well here we are, firm in Michigan’s wintry grasp & I’m feeling the urge to eat donuts, curl up under twenty blankets, turn off all the lights & sleep for three months. Unfortunately, that’s not possible.
So: in addition to my regular workouts, I’ve started tanning. I always feel guilty about it, knowing that I’m frying my skin & inviting all sorts of cancer, so I try to keep my trips infrequent & short – just enough time to get some precious rays. While I normally can’t trick myself into pretending I’m on a sun-soaked beach with waves & gulls, I’ve been using the ten minutes to practice meditation. The heat from the lamps, the whir of the fan, the chance to shut out everything & focus on myself – it’s a nice break from life.
Today, after a good workout & a relaxing tan, I came home happy, exhausted & relaxed. So relaxed, in fact, that I took a 45 minute nap – a rare thing for me. Now it’s finishing up my application for Alternative Spring Break, reading for class tomorrow night & finishing some codes [let me know if you need help calculating your overtime pay!].
I feel expansive & epic – I’m happy to be alive.
all is love
Things are slowly getting underway for our GROCS project. We have a Twitter account, a WordPress account, are in the process of finding wireless displays & contacting the local shelter about putting one up there. All these things are beta at the moment & won’t go live until around February 1st, but I’m getting excited.We have lots to work out still, but our rough ideas are exciting & hopefully anyone who comes across this blog will get involved too!
According to careerbuilder.com, archivists have one of the top 55 jobs with high growth projected for 2010!
Chile opened their Museum of Memory and Human Rights last week. It looks amazing & exactly like something I want to be involved in.
These posters are great:
I’m so wordy today. Rambling blogs & emails – a trademark of mine.
Time to finish watching Inglourious Basterds! [Those are Tarantino's misspellings, not mine, by the way]
