Wednesday Thoughts 04
My mind is...well best described as wandering. Today is Wednesday - and middle of the week is almost always a busy day at work. I'm treading water; that is, I'm staying on top of the urgent business at hand, but not really working too far ahead yet. Instead I'm messing around with writing these thoughts, and creating meta image graphics to go with these thoughts posts. I went with something generic.

This morning my wife and I went to the gym for a personal training session. We're trying to get back on track after several weeks of losing our first trainer, then starting with a new trainer only to lose HIM as he left for another gym. We're on trainer number 3, and we are trying to lock into a schedule. First up was a 6:30am session. Rough.
But we woke up on time, and we had a good session. We feel good (well, I feel good, can't speak for my wife right now). And it's proof that if we want to we can wake up early; this is good because it means I can take my bikes to the storage unit instead of keeping one in the basement on a stationary stand - I can use my gym membership and use a cardio machine there.

Through replies to Jake's post about mental health, I found a post from Jelloeater: Does work bring joy?
I replied and one of the things I said was "I don't know if this is what you meant, but it occurs to me that when I drink coffee, I'm always doing something. More often than not, it's working. I don't break to just drink the coffee and enjoy it. And I don't often sit calmly and relax."
The idea of taking an actual break and drinking a whole cup of coffee seems significant, to me.

I am itching to write something long-form but can't scratch that particular itch. I think I should work on an existing project - and I have many.
