It’s very weird how something so simple could change your whole mood so quickly. I was in a terrible mood about an hour ago. Ranting about my laundry, and how some woman decided to put my nice clean, wet clothes from the washer on top of a dirty, dusty shelf. However, when I went down to get my laundry out of the dryer, my mood changed!

There was a woman down there who was, if I had to guess, in her 80s, who was too short to get her laundry out of the washer. She asked me for help, and of course I helped her! She thanked me profusely, like I had just given her a million dollars. She made conversation with me about how her mother only did laundry once a week for a family of five, and how our problem these days is “we’re just too clean!”

Suddenly I’m not so angry. What is it about the elderly that is so… peaceful? I don’t know, exactly, but I like it!

Seriously, I should. I’ve said goodnight to my internet friends, logged the last of my food for the day, done the dishes, swept up the bathroom for the second time tonight (more on that later!) and brushed my teeth. Therefore, I should be in bed.

I had a lot of thoughts in my head, though, so I figured a quick blog post couldn’t hurt. Then I’m going to snuggle in bed with Matt and the kitten and put on an On Demand movie. Then dream-time, and hoping it’s not as bad as last night’s! That thing was insane, and it scared me!

Let’s see. Random thoughts everywhere. How about a list?

- Heating pads work wonders for sore wrists! It still hurts a bit, but not nearly as bad. Any improvement is good enough for me, I suppose!

- I’m very happy with my food log for today. I feel like I’m making healthy choices without much thought now, and that’s good! Habits are forming, lifestyle is changing, and I’m on the road to success!

- My legs are sore from all this walking. I’m supposed to do a half hour of walking every day, according to You: On A Diet. So far, the past few days, I’ve done it. I walked to Superstore, I walked around Superstore, I’ve even done laps around my kitchen and living room! Tomorrow, I’ll probably end up doing laps again. And doing laundry, so that’s a bit of walking, too. Darned multi-story apartment buildings with washers and dryers in the basement!

- Speaking of laundry… I only have enough change for one load. Darn it. One thing that really bugs me about this building is that there’s no change machine! Apparently there used to be a convenience store downstairs, so I could have even bugged them for the change, but now? Nothing! Why they’d take the machine out is beyond me. But it’s very inconvenient! I don’t want to drive, like, 20 minutes just to do laundry! Not to mention I have no clean clothes, really, so I can’t go to the bank in my PJs!

- The whole sweeping the bathroom twice thing? Yeah, that’s courtesy of Mew Mew. She’s a fantastic kitten, who likes playing in her litter too much. I think we need to get her either a bigger litter box, or a covered one. Probably covered. If I go more than a day without sweeping the bathroom, you can’t walk in there without getting your feet covered in litter. Ew!

Anyway, these are the random thoughts running through my head at… Whoa! 2:00 AM? No wonder I’m tired! Off to bed I go!
