moominmollyHad a nice, active morning. I ran with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lyonesse and did 2 miles in 20:20. As a special bonus, I didn't even feel like dissolving into the sidewalk afterwards. Tomorrow I may try my thighs at 3 miles. Later, we went to brunch and then fennel and I went out for a little midafternoon Pump It Up. I felt a bit wobbly, but good. My body never quite finished getting sick last week - it built up and built up and then I slept all evening on Thursday. Ever since then, I've felt weak and wooly in that post-flu way -- everything physical has been a little sub-par. So this morning was good -- I feel like I could (should?) have been better at dancing, for example, but I'm definitely not losing sleep over it.
It's like I have to continually convince myself not to run myself into the ground! I have good, rational judgement when I'm lifting, but aerobic exercise always makes me push myself until I'm a little sweaty quivering heap. Not very efficient. But I'm learning to temper that...
Got home and hung out with David, which is always a joy. My brother Rob called - he wants to borrow a huge chunk of cash to buy a *hotel* in Northern MI. So I played the "serious conversation" card on David to talk about timelines and mortgages and buying a house in Boston and such. We decided that the best counter to the "serious conversaiton" card would have to be the "on fire" card. I think that could counter anything.
"I can't talk about mortgages. I'm on fire."
"I can't wash the dishes. I'm on fire."
Of course, you could also play it on someone else:
"I can't have sex with you right now. I'm on fire."

My immediate thought ...
Date: 2002-03-03 12:17 pm (UTC)My thought was that being on fire would *increase* the likelihood of getting laid, but that's not how you meant it. Pity.
