after nearly five months of working out, i'm beginning to feel not slimmer, but stronger, at least. exercises i know would have tired me out earlier i can now do not with ease, but at least not with the painful struggling before. it's a great, empowering feeling, though i know i still have a long way to go. weight training is pretty gratifying, too, since it's so quantitative--i can definitely lift more than i could, say, a month ago or so. significantly more.
in other news, i don't understand freelance people who have no concept of doing business. they never return emails, don't deal with contracts, don't respond to phone calls. um... are you in this to make money or not?
and, amusingly, i was at the laundromat today when a woman started asking me the most basic questions about laundry. her: can i use liquid soap? won't it get all foamy? me: uh, no, i think it will be all right. it's designed to work in machines, after all. her: what do you use? me: powder her: what temperature should i use? me: it depends on what you're washing... and so forth. recent college grad, perhaps. or she just crawled out of a cave and had to do laundry for the first time!
