Feel better today. Yesterday was just weird feeling. Hangovers since I quit smoking are very different. Less painful, more surreal.

Went bike-riding instead of running this morning with Polly. It’s getting to be more and more uncomfortable in the morning, not exactly prime running weather, so riding a bike is a nice change. Breezy. But our neighborhood isn’t really big enough to ride a bike around for more than half an hour, without getting kind of bored. Ah well.

Sunday I’ll be going running with Anne, who is in town to see her mom. Anne’s doing her first marathon next weekend (after Memorial Day), which is very exciting. I’m thrilled that she stuck with her training, and I can’t wait to see how she does. I’m excited about going running with her on Sunday but I dread the weather. But I will run, no matter what, because we’re going to drive to Baton Rouge that afternoon to eat at the Chimes. Yum. Best cheese fries in the world, here I come! And they will no doubt make me extremely ill, but it’ll be totally worth it. (Yes. They serve their cheese fries with gravy. Am I very southern?)

Wish I had a bit of money, I’d paint my bedroom on Monday. But alas. Anyway, I really can’t decide on a color scheme. I need to just pick one and stick to it. It’s not like it can’t be painted over. (Though might be more difficult with red paint, which I’m leaning towards.) Red with white trim and periwinkle accents.
