my new plan is good, but it has its own unique stumbling blocks. sunday, or instance, i was still riding the residual good mood left over from saturday, and being hangover-free was just an added bonus. i’ve actually found that one of my biggest problems is with being moody. it may be that i am taking in too much or not enough drugs or vegetables, but whatever it is it is nice to be in a relatively stable mood. particularly a good one.

so, sunday i woke up early and went running with the group that meets across teh street at the bank. it’s a huge group comprised of people of all ages and fitness levels, more than enough pretty-good runners to kick my sorry out-of-shape behind. it was nice to be right at the very edge of my aerobic capacity, vision blurring out, and realize that not only did i hav to carry on normal conversation with the gentleman to my left, but i also had to go just a little bit faster. just what i needed.

and then at church we dyed easter eggs. actually, the little kids dyed easter eggs, and my class helped out with keeping them under control. i really have a great sunday school class, the nicest bunch of kids you could ever wish for. they manned the hot-glue guns, the egg dye, and the temporary tattoos. i’m poud to say that under their watchful eyes no little kids got hurt. two junior highers burned their hands on the glue guns, but if you have ever used a glue gun you know that that is inevitable. after church i talked to my good friend karen who is an itenerant biologist and doctoral student in chicago. she is researching the population dynamics of hairless caterpillars in wisconsinand eventually plans to cure cancer. way to go karen!

anyway it was really cool to talk with her, and even work was pretty mellow sunday night. by mellow of course i mean dead, who goes out to chili’s for easter dinner? i was home by 830.

today, monday, was similar. mellow, i went for a nice run (in only a pair of flimsy shorts, it was 75 egrees and i was loving life) and had tap class and play rehearsal, but i worked most of the day on a presentation for class tomorrow, and will likely work most of the night on it as well. but for some reason i feel a lot more put together than i did four or five days ago, so i’ll not overanalyze, you know, too much.
