Wheat Kings

Update: none...

Alas I am far up north, enjoying the sights and sounds of nature instead of trudging through life in the big city. I love it up here (minus the incessant buzz of the bloodsucking insects) and I am managing to keep a lid on the horse-trough eating that has been my life the past few months.

I go for a walk everyday - both here and in the city - usually about an hour each time. In the city I head over to the gym immediately after to get my weights in (my flabby, toneless arms are seriously bothering me lately), I have even managed to run a (very) little bit. 30seconds on Sunday, maybe a minute on Monday, about the same Tuesday, but yesterday I think I managed a couple minutes. I will admit that half of the running I did yesterday was due in part to one of the buzzing creatures I alluded to earlier, and I managed to hit myself more than once in the head with my water bottle to get rid of it (no such luck). Exercise is hard.

Instead of walking on Wednesday I went to a softball practice where it's been deemed that I am our new pitcher (not that anything happened to our old one). I like knowing I have an important role, even though it also scares the shit out of me to have it. Everyone watches the pitcher, as a fat girl with a previous preoccupation about people staring, this is not the best setup. But I will do it and I will succeed, hopefully with as few tears as possible. So in having two games tomorrow I must drive back to the city sometime today and leave this life of reading 75% of day behind. Okay, technically I can do it at home too, but the internet isn't dial-up there.

Anyways, I am off to make some sort of healthful, 'good-for-digestion' breakfast. Have a good Saturday!
