Well, after the record 68″ of snow the area has seen this winter (average is under 30″), it’s finally starting to warm up just a bit. I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to this — I’m just so DONE with this winter.
But how does that saying goes? Be careful what you wish for …
The warming temperatures and melting snow brought the outdoors into my basement — yes, puddles and puddles of water. Just what I need while I’m dealing with studying for an exam on Saturday! My roommate’s been helping switch out towels (most of the leakage is in the workout room, which is good — no carpeting in there) and my Dad came over this afternoon to help me diagnose the problem, figure out if there’s a fix (no, not really) and help get things as good as they can be for the time being. I’m lucky to have people around me who support me in a lot of different ways.
Onto more relevant topics … I’ve been peeking ahead in our lessons and there’s a good one for Thursday: a 24-hour fast. I’ve done the intermittent fasting as I’ve talked about previously, usually going about 15-17 hours between meals, but a full 24 hours? That’s a bird of a different color.
But I’m looking forward to it. I’ve not only been forgetting what it feels like to be hungry, but forgetting to realize that hunger isn’t an emergency that needs tending to immediately. Fasting will be a good way to reset my brain. At least that’s what I’m hoping for, because I kind of need a kick start back to reality.
This post is a little disjointed, but frankly, so am I at the moment. After 2 hours spent dealing with water and then another 2.5 hours studying (and it’s not like I didn’t work a full day first), my head is ready to relax. Or at least go to sleep. Which is what I’m going to do. Right now, in fact. Good-night!
