You pray for good health and a body that will be strong…
So… a start to this week by firstly acknowledging how totally lax I’ve been recently and secondly apologizing for a fairly lame effort this week. But mainly a huge congratulations to the guys running in the Chicago Marathon. Awesome efforts, and totally amazing results! I’m nowhere near that impressive, but that doesn’t stop me hoping I can grab onto coat tails, hang on for dear life, and follow them to Boston for a weekend!
I hate to admit this but my weekend has really been a little dull- all essential work has been carried out, my hair is neatly trimmed- I’m internally debating a big change, but know deep down I’ll regret it immediately, my apartment is spotlessly clean, which means I can breathe easy… I get very stressed if I can’t smell bleach and pledge by mid day on a Saturday, and all my laundry is clean, pressed and hanging in the closet. All organized by outfit for another work week. Yes, I am a little anal, yes I have control issues, and yes I can control the issues I have… well, sometimes J
However, my freakiness has kind of taken over this weekend. I found time to go running, nothing compared to Marathon times, I found myself at Wal-Mart again and enjoyed the weather which I’m scared is making for a mild October. While I’m enjoying the chance to be outside and use the parks, go for walks, climb the grind I’m getting nervous that Winter is hiding around the corner and the beautiful Fall days and colors will disappear overnight leaving a bitterly cold, white frost on the ground…
I have rediscovered hot chocolate this weekend, and spent a good portion of the weekend perfecting the art of making my own. I now have a cupboard containing ample amounts of whipped cream, chocolate sauce and mini marshmallows, so at the risk of challenging nature and jinxing myself- bring on the winter weather- I’m ready! (Yes, I may regret that sentence in a few weeks, and yes I cleaned the kitchen afterwards!)
Anyway, next week- weather permitting, I am going to make more of an effort to do something new and interesting. I will get further than the park- the trouble is it is so enticing and interesting. I kind of get drawn into the people watching, I could, and as this blog is testament to, very happily wander around for hours just musing on the comings and goings of other people. It really is a very convivial, relaxing, stress free place to be.

P.S. due to forgetfulness, and lack of camera, I can't take credit for the picture this week.
