I walked to the gym today only discovered that it was closed.  So I walked all the way home.  1.3 miles total.  So then I put on my old sneakers, got my iPod shuffle, tied my hood on, and put socks on my hands to act as mittens, and I went for a 2 mile run outside.  I hadn’t been for a run outside since early January when my gym was closed for the holidays.  It was a mix between hot and cold.  I didn’t like it.  But I asked my dad if he wanted to go with me tomorrow morning, cause the gym is only open 12-5, and I’m at work.  So I will run before breakfast…. if I feel like it.  I haven’t had a day off in all of February.  I’m okay with not running tomorrow.

I have decided that starting on Sunday, I am going to go to bed at 10 (where I can read), turn the light off my 10:30, and wake up at 6:30 or 7.  Every day for one week.  The only day that will be a problem is Wednesday, because Lost doesn’t end until 10!  Usually we stay and hang out until 11ish.  So that night will be a little later, and I will postpone my waking up as well, but no later than 8.

I started to a new craft this afternoon!  It’s exciting, and I’m pinning it while I’m watching grey’s anatomy and sitting at my craft table (which I set up in my living room!).  Unfortunately, I am working at Macy’s tonight.  That means I don’t get to cook a good dinner (I don’t even know what I’m going to have - I’m too full from lunch), and I don’t get to keep working on my craft.  Then, I have to work all day tomorrow from 10:30 - 7:30.  Stupid Macy’s.  Stupid need for money.  This is why I don’t want to have a need for money.  Money and working to make money is stupid.

I think it would also be nice to not have to live with time.  In my mini house, if I was growing organic vegetables, and living without needing to work, then I wouldn’t ever need to know what time it was.  Wouldn’t that be interesting?  Especially in a society like ours, time is so valued.  Everything is done by time.  What would it be like if it simply didn’t matter what time it was?  You got things done when they got done.  If I were still to be a therapist, then I would have set days, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, that my patients could simply drop by as long as it was light out.  I wouldn’t have so many patients that more than one would come at once, so I bet it could work.  Well, maybe not.  For appointments and stuff I’d need time.  Maybe I could set alarms!  I wouldn’t need to know the time, just that “in one hour, you need to do this.”  Hmm.  It would probably need to be thought through a little more, but it’s an interesting idea.
