it's late and i'm tired, but i want to keep up this journaling habit, so i will write briefly...
today was rainy, so we couldn't make too much progress on the shed. but i worked on the parts i could do indoors. i started off the day cutting "birds mouth" cuts into the roof joists with a jigsaw. i had to do basically the same cut 16 times, and when i did the last ones, they came out perfect. you could not tell they were cut with a handheld saw at all!
later on, it stopped raining, so i spent a little bit of the end of the day screwing the floor joists in. my knees got covered in mud; i probably shouldn't have worked outside at all but i was oddly determined.
on my way home, i stopped by the gym for the first time to try it out. i didn't want to overdo it, because i was doing physical work all day and i have yoga class tomorrow, but i tried out some of the various machines. i like the place; the facilities are nice and i like that they don't play any music or television out loud. (the muzak that my old gym in manhattan played in the locker room actually caused me to rage quit my membership.)
i self diagnosed my foot pain as plantar fasciitis. i talked to my mom on the phone and she said that she and my dad have both have had it too at times, and she gave me some tips.
andrei was visiting their sister, and came back with groceries. i made some food for my next two lunches. udon noodles, tofu, and veggies with szechuan style sauce. it came out pretty good.
andrei also did all of our laundry at nora's house, so my new thrift store purchases have entered circulation in my wardrobe. i am very pleased with my haul!
well, this ended up not being very brief after all. anyways, it's bedtime.
