Bellyfull Tilt

Heading to see the in-laws (and aunt in-law) in Williamsburg at dawn tomorrow. Not sure what's in store but I'm prepping for the drive alone. I often forget that the first time I drove the car we have now it was from Boston to DC with a jungle of plants in the backseat.

At that point, the trip was the longest I had driven in 5 years.

Today's Haiku
Scrounging in the fridge
piecing a meal from leavings
to fill up this craw

Today's Workout
Hustling home to do nothing

Colorful Activities

Home alone for a couple days while Emily and her parents chill in Williamsburg. I'll be heading out to see them Saturday.

It's always weird being here by myself. I make bachelor chow (ie Futurama) which is basically all the leftover crap in the fridge wrapped in a tortilla.

Today's Haiku
My old wedding tie
pitting purple against green
spirit week staple

Today's Workout
Push-ups

Poor Pairings

Iceland has an ancestry app that lets you know whether you're related to a fellow Icelander to avoid incest.

No kissing cousins in the land of fire and ice.

Today's Haiku
Across a glass pane
the twins' claws meet each other
only one can live

Today's Workout
Running: 5.5 miles

Put in a Breather

Work has started to sap most of my energy so updating this blog has fallen off. My hope is to establish some additional habits but the implementation has been rocky.

We'll see. There could be a scale back in the near future for my sanity.

Today's Haiku
Dreaming of the moon
Silver, moddled, and mournful
The heart of my sign

Today's Workout
Eh.
