traveling tales from the exotic dinda

Doc, well his nurse actually, gave me a shot this morning for an upper respiratory infection. Okay, all I thought I had was a really bad sore throat but since it hadn't gotten any better in 10 days i finally gave in and went to the Doc. And now I'm sleepy. . . but it's only 5 PM and if I sleep now I'll never sleep tonight. And it's rainy outside so going out is out. And it's rainy outside so that makes one very, very sleepy inside. . .

Renovated bedroom is wonderful; having door on the room would be nice too. I can tackle that this weekend I suppose. The new mattress I'm not sold on. Woke up a bit stiff; slept better on the tiny twin mattress than this new one so we'll see. It has a 90 day comfort guarantee but I hate returning stuff so maybe adding an extra support board or two to the frame might help. Guess I'll go do that now to try to stay awake. Yay, sleepiness and power saws, there's a good combo.

Oh an you know what this means? It means Casa Dinda is officially open for guests! Still need like new living room furniture and stuff but all is ready for visitors. Feel free to come help me rebuild my garage!

One of the exercise tips I read recently said to find a friend to phone, who you can call everyday after you finished exercising (walking in that article) and who will bug you, call you if they don't hear from you. So it has to be someone you don't mind calling each day and they don't mind hearing from you each day and then bugging you when you don't call. Kind of a tall order in both directions as I'm so not a "phone person." So anyways, I'll use my blog instead. ah technology.

Which brings me to the next dilemma. . . actually doing it and in some order. I've become the standard "work in my pajamas" kind of telecommuter. Here it is 10:24 am and I'm still in my pjs (really nice ones too) with no exercising, showering or breakfast done. Problem is I wake up, grab a cup of coffee and proceed to the computer and before I know it three hours are gone just responding to email, reading various newspapers and then this morning some IRC chatting with the #ubuntu-locoteams folks. Ideally I should just go out and exercise then back for a shower and breakfast and no computer until that's done huh? As I hate to shower twice in one day, just cuz of hair maintenance and all that girly stuff that takes us so much longer than boyz, it makes sense to exercise in the morning.

So it's a beautiful day out and walk on the beach is just too tempting to pass up. Then back for a shower, food and then work - okay sounds good dinda, that's the plan, you've told someone, now go do it. ;-) someone bug me if I don't report back that I did this in a few hours, m'kay.
