merely talk

I love days off. First because it gives me an opportunity to just breathe. But also because it gives me time to get things done. Hence Sunday has become "errand day". Fun eh?

I headed to Safeway first thing this morning. I was out of milk so no breakfast could be had, which was a major motivator to get dressed and out the door. I stopped at one,of the many, Starbucks near my house for a Chai to power the journey. And then walked. It was such a gorgeous day, and Safeway is only about 12 blocks away, I couldn't really justify taking the bus. I got lots of food. I even have actual meals planned, so hopefully this will be the first step to eating better.

Sunday is also cleaning and organizing day. I bought a new binder for all my paper work. Since according to Revenue Canada, I'm self employed I need to keep track of my hours and pay, as well as my gas mileage and receipts and all that stuff. All the paper demands that I stay organized. Which is annoying to a slob like me. But I do like new things, and making new labels for my binder dividers. So that was fun.

The rest of the day I'm going to be catching up on everything I keep putting off. I owe a letter to a dear friend, and I have a few emails to return. And then Bowling! Which should be kickass. I can guarantee I will not win. I can also say with certainty that I will probably do the worst out of the entire group. Do I care? No. I've never been a "sport" person (does bowling count as a sport?) so I have no issues with competition, or having to win. I never win at sports so I'd rather just have fun. If anything, I normally just feel bad for the poor person stuck on my team. Because I'll be bringing their score down. Which is why I could never get into team sports. It isn't so much the exercise, I love exercising whether on a cross trainer or in a yoga class, but the pressure to win. Knowing others are depending on you to do well. That doesn't work for me. And the more pressure I feel either from others, or myself, the worse I perform. And I've found that even in friendly games there's always at least one person who is ultra competitive (meaning more competitive than me) who kind of ruins the experience for me. Cause if I feel a need to win, I don't have fun.

I don't really know where all that came from. I was planning on just writing about how much I was looking forward to bowling tonight. Anyhoo, Bowling, WOO!
