In 2017 I wrote a post called Eydie Gorme the Look of Love because I was in a phase where every day I would try to write continuously for 10 minutes and I read over that post and I was really happy with what I had written. There were a lot of good phrases and observations. It's rare that I read over something I've written in the past and feel proud of it. That was a good one though. Right now I'm sitting in the leather armchair in my living room. I got the chair from my dad who got it from my uncle who wanted to get rid of it. My feet are resting on the chair from my old house on maywood lane. My roommate didn't want the chairs or table from our dining room so they ended up with me. I really only need two chairs in my living room so another chair is in the kitchen and the other chair is hidden in the attic space above my stairs. Very rarely I'll go up there and sit in it just because. I need to eat so I'll probably make popcorn. My throat is sore. I think it's allergies. I hope it's allergies.
Today I ate granola and almond milk for breakfast and drank coffee while I did the sudoku. Then I drove out to camp to clean the pool more. I brought a protein bar, an apple, two clementines, a banana, and two bottles of water. I ended up not eating any of the fruit or the bar until I was done working but I drank all the water. The pool is clean clean now so that's good. It took longer than expected but it always does. It was nice out though. A good day to be outside. When I got home I ate all the fruit and then made two of the wegman's fake meat burgers with tomato slices and mozzarella. Then I coached. Then I briefly went home to change and came back and did some pull-ups, some RDLs, and some squats. I saw my friend for a bit and we lifted together which was nice.
My downstairs neighbor is coughing. I think about the person I was in 2017 and the person I am now. I like to imagine I haven't changed all that much. I've had a lot of experiences since then and I think I'm more secure in who I am. I don't think my view of the world has changed all that much though. I was looking back through the comics I made in 2016 and I saw that I had written at some point that my goal was to be part of a specific place and time and it surprised me how long I've had that goal and that it hasn't really changed. I am Shmandy. I am Wingdings.
