lady don’t tek no
how do i define a good work week?
:
* miraculously mustering up the discipline to get to the gym on mondays and tuesdays, and riding the bike to/from work the remaining three days. most people can pull it off. not me. the sloth is my spirit animal, and it shows!
* using up most of my groceries. it’s harder than you’d think. even if i plan to cook every night, it doesn’t mean it will happen, so when i can utilize most of my perishable materials, it feels (sadly) like an accomplishment. i HATE throwing out stuff i never got to use.
* pleasant weather. can’t believe i was one of those mopey goth girls who abided by shirley manson’s “only happen when it rains” rhetoric. PFFFFT, whatevs! it’s all about a climate in which i don’t have to fret about wearing my thickest, warmest $hit for fear of being cold. leaving the house with just a hoodie — now that’s comfort.
* treating myself to a fiiiiine, delicious, skilled meal prepared by someone else (thank you melissa claire’s kitchen!). this is why i’ll end up destitute at retirement age, but i can’t help myself.
* putting together an unprecedented combo culled from my crap wardrobe, and being somewhat surprised that i don’t look like a walking havel.
* some sort of socializing with a favorite person/peoples. if it’s not physical contact, then even an insightful or meaningful conversation can be nourishing.
* being able to ride the bike home on a friday after work, when the sun’s still shining

yeah, i’d say it was a pretty good week. the only thing that would’ve made it better if i was more efficient at work. i hate being a slacker.

these days:
- reading for all my classes
- making to work on time
- making it to the gym once a week (for which i pay 80 a month for)
this is making my head hurt

thanks for answering! if i was a student those would make or break my week and mood too. i assume you mean $80 USD, right? holy moly that’s a bit spendy, but is it a nice gym? any indoor climbing facilities you been to? what’s making your head hurt — thinking about it?

i got written up & suspended this week for “insubordination” for talking back to the GM of my bar. lol. so it’s been an awesome “work” week. spa day, spring-cleaning, lots of lunches with friends. if this is what it means to be a rich-man’s wife, sign me UP!

* using up most of my groceries. – YES. I know what you mean about this
I’m still not sure what makes for a good week at large, for me; I usually count in terms of good days. I think I’ll start trading up for good weeks over good days….

Agreed on all of your points. I wish I had the stones to buy groceries regularly but I just know I’d mostly be buying a very expensive compost pile.
My other definition of a good week: being inspired by random acts of kindness/humanity/insanity. And tons and tons of sushi.

@jenny: ha, that doesn’t surprise me. you’ve always been sassy and not one to step down for principle sake. i wouldn’t mind being a rich man’s wife either, trust me. lunch with friends feels like such a luxury these days
@andrea: glad you feel me on that, girl. i think with dem changes you been going through, you’ll probably be encountering good weeks > days
@chris: hey thanks for stopping by! what a pleasant surprise. i hear you on the random acts, and i’d be very happy with sushi once a week. mercury be damned.
