Day 1 of this week's experiment in getting gym time over with before work went pretty well. Caught the 6:45 train to Boston, got into the gym around 7:25, easily got a half hour elliptical session done, showered, and managed to get into work about 10 minutes early. Yays! I think I can squeeze a 40 minute session in most days and get in just on time. Not really feeling super energized from the early morning workout, and am now ravenously hungry even though I ate breakfast before leaving home. But I think this could work as a habit! Which is good, because I'd much rather get home around 5:00 than 6:00, and this is the only way to make that happen.

This weekend was fabulous- engagement party for friends and an after-party that was low-key and very fun. Yesterday we hit the Winter Island beach with a few people, and it was totally awesome. Not super crowded, the ocean was only mildly scary, and there was much sun and relaxation. I was never a huge beach person, and tend to pack enough provisions and boredom fighting tools to last me a month in the wilderness, but I do enjoy sitting in sunshine whenever the sun deigns to show itself around here.

In a way, this Washington Post op-ed makes me feel a little bit better about the state of current events. Also, it makes me feel worse, because clearly we are never going to be rid of the crazies.

Argh. Home Depot is making me apoplectic with rage.

I honestly don't understand what is so hard about doing the work they are contractually obligated to do, doing it correctly, and not breaking shit when they do it.

I am so seriously tired of yelling at them to make them do what they are supposed to. Today was supposed to be it, the last day. Yet, it is not.
