I walk about .25 miles to the bus stop in the morning, about .05 miles to work from the bus stop, then about .25 miles to the bus stop from work in the afternoon, and another .25 miles from the stop to my house. That's about .8 miles. Why am I so freakin' exhausted?
My theory is that part of the new me is a new girly attire, complete with those miserably uncomfortable shoes. My feet, legs, buttocks, and back are killing me today. From today on, I will be one of those women you see in sneakers and socks with a dress on... Until I reach my desk, at which point, much like Mr. Rogers, I will change shoes, and don my new cardigan because it is also freezing in my new office.
I am off to the couch to stare into space for the next 3 hours until bedtime!

The New and Improved Me
I have a new job (I start tomorrow), new friends, and a new persona... I got a little wild and crazy and shed some clothing while seeing my one true love (Ty from Girlyman) on stage the other night (there may be pictures later).
I am shedding old clothes that do not fit anymore (different than the clothing mentioned above), shedding appropriate trash into my new compost pile, and trying to shed old habits in relationships that really don't serve me (or anyone else) well.
Thanks to a string of events including what I like to call "Camping with the Cliftonites" (Clifton Unitarian Church camp-out) during labor day weekend, attending the September 8th InKY Reading Series at the Rudyard Kipling (a monthly event I think everyone should attend) and being introduced to the New Southerner online magazine, now with an anthology in print (which I think everyone should buy), I am also on a new path to lead a more environmentally friendly existence.
My first three steps are as follows... As mentioned above, I started a compost pile, to help replenish the earth, rather than add to the land fill, I plan on riding the bus (World Carfree Day is Friday Sept 22) to the new job through the end of the year, and I am hanging my clothes out to dry on my newly purchased clothes line (my landlord and neighbors are thrilled).
It's nice to meet you!
