moral of the story.

Don't skip your workout.

I've been living off endorphins lately, because there's nothing like running to make you feel like you're getting somewhere. I didn't run today, though. Maybe because it was Monday. Or because it was raining. Or because I'm late on a deadline and I thought I'd use the time to catch up.

I didn't.

I didn't run, and I didn't catch up.

Now it's dark, it's rainy, I haven't run, I have no endorphin high, and I still have work to do. I cannot fantasize about the big things that make me happy, like travel, because there is none in my immediate future, and thinking about what I'm missing will make this worse. Actually, my mental state is bad enough already. I should not bribe myself with sweets, because I've been working hard to break that pattern. I'm actually not sure what I should do right now.

Except... ummmm... work.

Pixie dust, happy thoughts, jokes, smiles, and photos of handsome men welcome and appreciated.

Tune in again... mmm... soon! Possible topic: "What Jill Was Like at 17: An Anecdote That Involves an Older Boy". Intrigued? I guess I actually have to write it now.

  • Puts hands up to look at photos of handsome men with you! Maybe I should take my camera for a walk and see what it can bring you ;).

  • sadly, i recently had to delete my collection of handsome men photos.

    it was getting a little hard to explain...

  • Yes, CB. Please do!

    I assume this was after you supplied the photographic illustration for page 38, Brando? Or was that a completely different collection?

  • I love the self-motivating technique. "Make promise then try to keep it"!

    As for pics of handsome men... ;o)

  • Endorphines rule ;O) And how about happy thoughts and smiles from handsome men? ;O)

  • Here you go Jill handsome and trustworthy!

    Blame it on the rain, that is what I'm doing!

  • Handsome men - don't know any. They make me feel inferior :-)

    Just had a chunky Kit-Kat bar - I can't stop those kind of rewards.

    Happy thought - One day I'll not work anymore and I'll buy a some old camper van and drive all around GB visiting little out of the way places.

  • If I need an endorphin high I masturbate.
    ;-)
    Seriously, it's way better than jogging.

  • Here's an idea for you...

    I'll send you a picture of myself. I'm not handsome by any stretch so I know it defeats your request for pictures of handsome men. However, it will make you want to run away, rain be damned. Thus, you will have your necessary endorphin rush!

    (just don't tell me how far away you wind up running... that might depress me.)

  • I'll see what I can do for you, Jill.

  • Love the new design! Very feminine with a bit of humor and a sprinkle of spice.

  • Sending pixie dust. Hope it gets there. I too miss my endorphin high when I take too long of breaks.

    By Blogger Cheryl, At Tue May 16, 12:32:00 PM 2006  

  • BRANDO! You were first supposed to take your clothes off. Then, when you told me you were completey nekkid you wouldn't have been lying! Do I have to teach you EVERYTHING?

    Faltenin, but the self-motivating is likely not going to work. Because with all the things I have to get done today, adding that to the list will really only serve to make me feel more pressured, and then when I don't get it done, more guilty.

    Ok, Chief Slacker, send the happy thoughts on over. I'm waiting.

    Croaker, I haven't looked at that link, but if I recognize the title from seeing it yesterday, isn't he a bit young for me?

    I would love to take an extended road trip, Mr. Further on up the road. That sounds great.

    Sarah: BEST. COMMENT. EVER.

    Kapgar, don't be silly. I shouldn't have written "handsome". It belies what I find intriguing in men.

    That sounds either promising or ominous, Grunt, but I'll take my chances.

    Thanks, Datingirl!

    Yay for pixie dust, Cheryl! One day I shall post about Tinkerbell.

  • i'm trying to get motivated to find that endorphin high again...

    however, i think i might go with sarah's idea instead.... ;)

  • Dear Lord. I need to excerise.

    By Blogger Momentary Academic, At Tue May 16, 02:43:00 PM 2006  

  • Yes, I have to say, Sarah has an excellent point, Suze. I don't know why I didn't think of that last night.

    Dear M.A. Go for it.

  • He may be young but the older they get the les you can trust them. Oh and his dad is available too ;)
