to do or not to do.

my plan for today was:
go to the farmers market.
and the new york bontantical garden
they are located at the same location.
what luck!

i did neither. oh well.

i did manage to spend my afternoon swimming upstate
and
going to the market up there and picking up bags full
FULL!
of local veggies.
yellow beets, turnips, carrots, and cucumbers, and lovely boston lettuce.
(not to mention raiding my parents fridge)

i made carrot top walnut pesto this evening. it's awesome.
i thought i invented it until i googled it afterwards...
mine is vegan though. (better)

after a near panic attack driving around trying to find parking
for a hour in this lovely heat.
i controlled myself and baby stepped my way home.

swimming, lettuce, and baby steps.
it was a good day.
the garden will be there tomorrow.

to do list. july sixth.

to do list:

get rent money out. put in envelope.
do pilates work out. serious stretching is needed.
walk for at least thirty minutes (bring camera)
clear out box in hall.
take down said box, amongst others to recycle.
sit down and write it all out.
hang up clothes.
comment constantly that its nearly 100 degrees.
learn to love the heat.
remember to eat.
drink half my weight (in ounces) in water.
buy toilet paper.
do not paint on walls no matter how strong a desire. hold out.
maybe watch a sad movie. or UP.

did list:
so, i got out the rent money. it is not in an envelope.
i did not do pilates. (ITS ONE HUNDRED DEGREES OUTSIDE!)
went for many half hour walks. (too hot for camera)
the boxes didnt NEED to be moved today. too ambitious.
i wrote a lot. -check
all clothes were hung, folded and put away. awesome
it is soooo hot outside.
i hate it.
i was really great at eating
not so great at drinking water
or buying toilet paper
i avoided painting on my wall. i merely thought about it.
up was not on netflix, nor was the notebook. i did watch a move though.


So, i'll give myself an eight.
i did a lot of other things today,
after all, it was nearly one hundred degrees.
