And I Do This Because...?

I've just gotten back from my first workout in about a week and a half. Suprisingly enough, I feel really good right now, but I know that I'm going to pay for it big time in the morning. I can already feel my hamstrings twinging in protest as I sit and type this. And do you know the best part? I know I'm going to get back up and do it all over again tomorrow. I swear. Working out, martial arts, whatever is like an addiction. You can't stop unless you want to pay a price. In my case, that would be putting on ten pounds of holiday fat and waking up in screaming agony the next day. But I'm exaggerating. I like my workouts and the things that I'm learning. It really is worth the effort that I put into it.

Nikki called this morning and asked if I could pick up some "feminine products" for her this morning. I didn't have a problem doing that, but her request came at an awkward time. I had spent most of the morning fixing up resumes and surfing for jobs, so I was still in my pjs and stinking rather badly. I told her I had no problems running that errand, but I wanted to get cleaned up a bit first. That's when she told me to never mind. I feel bad about it. I hope she doesn't think that I was just making up an excuse to get out of it. Tomorrow, I am going to do something special for her. She's been super busy and all, so I think I'll put together a mini care package and swing it by her school tomorrow. Hey, it's the least I can do.

Also, I've decided to start another blog. This one will track my progress as I embark on my madien voyage into the seas of screen writing. Truth be told, I have no real clue what I'm getting myself into, but at the very least it will be a good writing exercise and an excuse to write creativly for a change. I managed to find a really good website geared to beginning screenwriters. It does a good job of outlining the process, and I'm eager to get started. I think the safest thing to do is try and adapt one of my old short stories for the screen. We'll just have to see how this turns out.
