Finally Coming Out of the Funk

So after basically wasting a week, doing almost nothing useful or productive and spending too much time asleep, in front of the tv, or both... well, I'm feeling a little more alive. Kevin got me to leave the house last night to go see (or rather, not see, as it got rained out) the Red Sox game. It was kind of nice, though, just hanging out with him at Fenway, people watching for awhile. And then we got to do it again today! It was gorgeous when we got to the park.... and started raining in about the 5th. But the Sox were kicking some Twins ass anyway, so the early rainout was fine. (Yes, rubbing it in a little. Hehe.)

So in the past week I've accomplished.... um... I cleaned out the litter box a couple times... I worked out once or twice... and that's about it. No job progress. No "me" progress - in fact, probably a step back a bit there, albeit temporary (I hope!). And no fitness progress, since even the couple workouts I did were a bit toned down.

Tomorrow, though, I've got all day to myself. And if I get to bed soon, I probably won't sleep in too late. So tomorrow's goals are few, but important.
1) I will work out. This will include phase one of the Body+Soul mag. plan for getting my body accustomed to jogging. This will also include a pilates dvd, and - if my muscles still feel up to it - a yoga sequence as well. God will that feel good.
2) I will send at least four requests for "informational interviews" with people who work in publishing in the Boston area. I will use my LinkedIn networks. I will also contact at least one Body+Soul editor, as well as the Kripalu writer whose work I like and blog I follow.
2a) I will search out the latest job postings for the Boston area. It's been like a week and a half since I looked. Argh.
3) I will do laundry. And I will keep going until I run out of quarters. Instead of finding my pathetic laundry habits amusing, like I used to, I'm coming to find them annoying. However, not having clean clothes that fit me does (well, in addition to making me feel a little bad) motivate me to work out.

OK... hoping for a good tomorrow - for all of us! Hope you're well, sending you my love, and looking forward to hearing from you both!
