Michelle and I started working out again yesterday. It’s back to the normal routine. I didn’t press myself too hard since it was my first day back in a long time. I started reading Brokeback Mountain while I was on the elliptical. I finished nearly all of it in the 30 minutes I was on there. I’m amazed at how much faster time seemed to go by, and how much easier it was, to read while on the elliptical machine. I’m going to have to try to read every time.
I was supposed to take down my Christmas decorations Sunday night, but I didn’t feel well when I got home, so I rested instead. I did clean up and start preparing it all for removal. Last night I took it all down and it took THREE hours. I thought it was never going to end! I kept finding more things in the apartment and it was getting on my last nerve.
It’s all piled up in my entryway now, all in boxes ready to go back to storage. I was thinking about taking it to storage at my parent’s house this Sunday, but now I’m thinking I can’t wait until Sunday. I can’t have all of those boxes in my entryway for a week. I might have to take it down there Wednesday night or Thursday.
Tonight is bowling. I’m going to go shopping for some Valentine’s stuff before bowling tonight, so I can get all of that stuff put up tomorrow night. In fact, I may even go do some shopping during lunch today.
I just finished the rest of Brokeback Mountain while on my 15 minute morning break. It was a good story, and the movie was pretty much exactly like the story, although the movie conveys so much more emotion. It has everything the story does, but it shows so much more that the story does not. The movie gives you more insight into what the wives are going through, and it’s so much easier to see the love between Jack and Ennis when it’s shown, not written. So because of that, I have to say I liked the movie better than the story… and I think I’m just about ready to see the movie again.
