Quick Random Thoughts

Been sitting here by myself in CoS, having random thoughts in my somewhat self-imposed, isolated living, and thought I would jot some down.  In no particular order or subject:

  • I understand the sadness associated with texting someone you love because you are missing them and not getting a reply quickly (because they aren't like you and are actually busy doing something) and I understand the joy associated with texting someone you love and getting a reply back almost immediately.
    • Corollary I: Receiving a text back makes one feel closer in space to someone that you are missing.
    • Corollary II: If there is someone in your life that you are missing terribly, find something, anything to text them about or call them about.  Even if you don't get a reply, keep doing it.  You'll feel closer.
    • Corollary III: If there is someone in your life that has stopped communicating with you for whatever reason, find something, anything to text them about.  And keep texting even if they still don't respond or even if they never respond.  You have no idea what your texts may be doing.
  • I have zero excuses for not focusing on my training and making sure I am doing everything to make myself better, like strength training, core training, yoga, and getting plenty of good sleep.
  • I have zero excuses for not reading in the evenings, except, of course, if a hockey game is on.
  • A hot tea in the evening is a perfect way to prepare for a great night's sleep.  You should try it.
  • I find that I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about the next time E- is coming here or I am going to get to see her on a work trip back to AL.  Counting weeks, days, hours, whatever it takes...
  • I have time to clean out those that I follow on social media.  If all someone has time to do is complain, they are gone.
  • Popcorn will always be the perfect evening snack.  Don't @ me.
  • I miss my puppers.
  • Some nights it is a struggle to stay up past 7:00.
That's enough random thoughts for now.  It's 7:04, so time to get ready to go to bed and get some reading done after I finish my tea.
