January 2nd 2013

I woke up super early for me today, and I didn't go back to sleep. Since I was up late last night posting here, I think I got about 5 hours of sleep. That's not too terribly bad. Not the best, but not the worst either. I don't feel tired, and haven't all day (except when I woke up). Instead of lulling back to sleep after Puese left for work though, I got myself out of bed, made the bed, took a shower with that Sugar Scrub I made yesterday, and found myself some breakfast. I realized that I sometimes don't exactly forget to eat. Sometimes I remember I'm supposed to eat on a regular basis, go into the kitchen to find something, and turn to leave again having found nothing. It's at this point that I've "forgotten" to eat. Other times though, I do just forget to eat. Because I couldn't find anything desirable, left the kitchen and had to remind myself to eat, I had a bowl of cereal and a banana again. I can sense that getting old real fast. I didn't really dwell on that today though, as I immediately set about re-purposing an old pants suit. When I was about to start stitching, I thought I'd find some food, and I discovered it'd only been an hour, so I continued working instead. After 3 total hours, I'd finished. So I rewarded myself with a giant sandwich. Giant meaning tall because it had every vegetable on it that I could find and found suitable for sandwiching, not giant as in way too much food. It was just enough food, and I paired it with a kiwi. I'm not overly fond of kiwi, but I'd purchased it for a crunchy project and decided not to use it for that after all. I had considered doing some calisthenics this morning, but then I got far too cold after lunch and decided against it for today.

I cut strips of fabric from an old pillow case

I also was left home alone unexpectedly, for the first time in a long while, and decided to utilize the opportunity to try the sugar wax I'd been planning on for a while. All I can say about that is "Why on earth would anyone choose to get waxed on the regular?! Dang-a-Lang that stuff hurts." My skin is tingly from the pain, red and splotchy from the hair being yanked from my skin, and patchy because I'm no professional/have never done it before/didn't get all the hairs out with the wax. It did however clean up rather well. The candy combination of sugar, lemon juice, and water washed away nicely with water alone. I also can't imagine why anyone would try to wax any other part of their body. I only did my legs. That being said; why are women expected to be hairless except for the top of their heads? I'll have to look into that. I wonder if it serves some sort of purpose besides "beautification." I'll also be looking into remedies for this dang cough. It still won't go away.
Anyways; back on the topic of food: I just had a snack of cheese and apples while typing up blogs, and I have no idea what's happening for dinner. Whatever it is, I'll be sure to utilize my powers of portion control and chewing.
