Friday

I find myself almost resisting posting an entry--I don't want to think I've tricked myself into compliance. That's too circular even for me.

Today is cold and icy; I managed to drag myself out of bed early enough to catch the train from Woodbridge. I always enjoy the time on the train: reading, sorting mail, doing makeup, generally relaxing. So why is it that I am so resistant to getting up and making it happen? I originally intended to catch the Manassas line train (23 minutes earlier than the one I took!), but snoozing three times, "napping" on the couch after letting the dogs out, and generally wasting time aren't conducive to keeping a schedule. That really is the only negative about the train--I'm on someone else's schedule. How do I stop being a "late person"?

Next week, I think I am going to have to catch the early train (6:53!! which means leaving home at 6:30!!) so I can come home early. D's team is in the playoffs Tuesday (and potentially, hopefully Thursday), and he works late Mondays, so I have to step up. I am going to see Bon Jovi with B on Thursday, too, so I want to make that Gran's only late night with the Beast. Though I guess that means I won't get to see him in the mornings. :( I really need to invest in a spycam for his bedroom.

I've managed to stay away from the Thin Mints today. I even threw away half of my bread from Cosi. Shocker. If I can keep this up, I may be on a roll!
