Finally settling into a routine

[exatron]

It's been a few weeks since I moved into my new place, and I think I'm finally settling into a nice routine.

My place seems to be in an optimal location since almost everything is only a couple miles away. Places to find a proper couch or futons are hard to come by, but I'll get one eventually.

Sleep is no longer an issue since I'm pretty sure I've had more REM sleep since moving than I've had since the beginning of the year.

My new gym is very nice, and the staff has helped me fix a few issues with my form (My traps were doing more work than they should have), as well as helping me revamp my entire workout routine. This place feels like it has about three of every machine and weight you could want. I also took a bit of time to watch some of the classes held there. One of their martial arts programs looked interesting, so I picked up a flier for the stuff they're starting in January.

The recent wave of cold and snow has had one unpleasant effect- the air has almost no moisture, making me thirsty all the time and causing my knuckles to get dry and cracked, but at least we have snow.

And I picked up Looney Tunes Golden Collection volume 4. It's nice so far, but I really don't like the overlapping disc trays. They may save some space, but I shouldn't have to take out one disc just to get at another.

Time flies x.x So...what's going to happen if your job forces you into another contract far away, though? =X

But people were noticing your traps! Keep working them XD Glad you found a good gym for you. The classes at my gym look horrible, though XD

S...now?

The Gargoyles S2 part 1 DVD did that too o.0 There's gotta be a better way, no?

Then I'll have to move again, and quickly. Three hours of sleep or less per night just doesn't work. I just realized that I could end up with a conundrum on my hands since I'll be here through April if this contract isn't renewed and that's when my cousin is getting married .(Still no invite from him.)

I know, but I'd like to keep things in balance, and I think it was hindering my progress elsewhere.

It's the powdery white stuff you never see.

Cost is probably to blame since the things are popping up everywhere, even with two-disc sets.
And whatever happened to Gargoyles S2 part 2 on DVD?

THREE?! I can't function well without at least five.

Yeah, and around here, most leases are 1-yr minimum to start, I can't imagine what kind of problems that could lead to with your contracts.

I guess. I personally just want results ANYWHERE...

Oh, okie ^.^

At the con this summer, it was admitted Part 1 sales were okay, but not spectactular. They're not going ahead with #2 unless they're sure it'll sell, and that may be an uphill battle now.

Unfortunately, yes, and it was getting to me in a lot of ways. My mind definitely wasn't in a working state for a while, and I was nodding off on the freeway. I've been doing everything I can to get at least 6-8 hours now.

I was able to get a 6-month lease at a slightly higher price, probably because I'm so close to Michigan State University.

I've seen what you look like. You're getting results, but may not realize it since you see yourself in the mirror every day.

:::Pelts you with a few snowballs.:::

I wonder if anybody has done research on dividing seasons up like that. It's possible that sales weren't spectacular because some people want to wait until they can get both halves.

Glad to hear things are settling back down! I need routine in my life or I go a little crazy. Glad to hear you've got one!

You need a bog comfy leather couch that threatens to swallow you up whenever you sit on it. Those are the fuckin shizzle!

Sleep is just the best.

Glad to hear you're getting on so well in the gym! What martial ast are youthinking of picking up? I got here first, so I'm gonna plug Tae Kwon Do as being super best art fight!

I HATE when cold weather cuses that dryness in your nose when ever you breath in. You people in the lake disttrict are really getting reamed weather-wise, huh?

*pictures you like a sugared-up kid frantically trying to get out a DVD* " I WANNA WATCH CARTOONS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!! XD

Take care and shite!

And it's just in time for housework to make things look a bit better than the usual guy apartment stereotypes.

I tend to have very specific couch requirements. The armrests need to be at a height where they're useful when sitting up and don't get in the way too much if I want to lie down, it has to have a shape that lets me sit with my back against it and my feet on the ground, it can't be green, the material must be something that's pleasant to touch in any weather.

Sleep is very good.

It helps that they have some decent eye candy here, even if it is hard to top the Sawyerish guy (Hair about the same length and color, unshaven, similar build, a pair of square wireframe glasses, and a bandanna keeping his hair back.) at my old gym.

The flier I picked up was for karate, but one other was mentioned elsewhere. The name of the second one escapes me.

Normally static electricity and chapped lips are the issues. This is the first year I've had to deal with dry hands. My heat's electric, and that could be the cause.

Add a bit of "I hate doing this because I don't want to risk scratching the upper disc" and it'd be the perfect description.

You too.
