Things to be Thankful For
----I have an awesome room mate who made a last minute shopping decision to go to Goodwill where I found Timbuk2 messenger bag for $7 and the one I snagged is one of the custom ones made in San Francisco. It used to be that Timbuk2 made all their bags in San Fran but I guess production cost made them move their ready-to-wear designs overseas. But all the custom ordered ones are still made the same good old fashioned way.
----I climbed at the "Kiddy-Crap-Scape" today for the first time since my broken foot. I did ok. My lungs did not like the aerobic activity at all. My arms, esp my triceps and biceps and abs are pissed off. I think I lasted 30-45 min, not even a whole hour. But the endorphins are finally flowing, so I feel at calmer and more at ease. I realized it's been over a month since I've worked my body this hard. It's good to be back. I made sure to take extra l-glutamine after working out.
-----The shitty weather seems to be making my allergies better. yay for shitty weather! I suspect my allergies are taking a beating because my lung capacity has diminished since having the foot trauma.
-----I sold one of my original artworks today. There is just something magical about selling one of your pieces of art that was NOT a commission. I can honestly say I've never had that experience before. I'm not good at the negotiation thing, but I think I did alright. It will get better with time.
