I Am So Disgusted with Myself
After writing that last post about how much crap I have, what do you think I did? GC took me to pick up my car from the mechanic (timing belts are expensive, no foolin'!), and then I went on some errands. To buy more stuff. I'm operating on the assumption that everything in DC is ridiculously expensive, so I should go ahead and buy everything now that I might need... for the next few years. Luckily, I have only one more day of this delusional thinking ahead of me, so if I can keep from visiting any stores tomorrow, I'll be set.
Speaking of failures, my New March Resolution was a complete one. I did yoga one time. One. I did a few post-workout stretches, but those don't really count, as I didn't have many workouts last month. I need to set more concrete and easy-to-measure goals. For April, I will focus on dental hygiene. I used to be so attentive to my teeth, but I realized this evening after returning from my errands that I hadn't brushed my teeth all day. This is not uncommon. I used to be a daily flosser, and now I think I'm doing alright if I brush once a day. So, this resolution is easy to implement: brush and floss daily. And while I'm at it, I'll whiten my teeth too. I have some very expensive teeth whitening gel and a mouth tray from the dentist that I've never used because I can't talk with the tray in my mouth and I'm too lazy to whiten my teeth after GC says goodnight. This is the perfect opportunity to brighten my smile - there will be no one to talk to at night in my basement quarters for the next month. So, there you go. New April Resolution: brush, floss and whiten teeth.
