Morning spent working out on home elliptical. Shelter in place=no gym=no friends=no chuckles and jeers. I completed by 4 hr cardio sesh and 100 pushups, 100 crunches, and 100…no wait…only 60 kettlebell swings. I don’t want to be a weakling goober! Better luck tomorrow.
Rain Rain go away!! No walk outside today! 66 degrees but rain all day. My goal for the week: Complete a 10 page essay for African American art due in May, start and finish making the garden tidy from last year i.e tiling the soil, transplanting worms to make the soil healthier and de-weeding it, and working on at least 1 creative venture. Listened to my dungeon-synth project today and realized that along with getting my body back to “model perfect” as it was in 2018, I also need to work on getting my keyboard harmonies up to snuff…good things DO NOT happen to those who wait too long!
Not seeing my partner of 9 years is wicked sad and gives me hardcore anxiety, but we call daily and Skype and I have 2 of my besties from Rick Owens who call me daily just to shoot the breeze and talk fashion. Apparently “apocalyptic chic” is out and “Malibu Barbie/island girl” is in. Go figure, eh? Well, I started my 10 page research paper, typing it all out as I write it by hand before so my thoughts don’t scatter. i HIGHLY recommend this technique for those who are diagnosed with ADHD/OCD/Anxiety (like I have) as it helps your thoughts stay contained and focused. I accomplished 3/4 assignments for CGP today so I suppose Im “ahead of things”. Cleaned the entire house top to bottom, managed to stick to the “Karl Lagerfeld diet” (I highly recommend this diet to anyone looking to get “bikini ready” in the midst of quarantine). No quarantine 15 for this boi!
Building a wardrobe for myself that is both comfortable and trendy (even though no one but me, my folks, and ithaca farmer’s market people see me on the weekends) has helped me cope ALOT. Jeremy Scott, Wunderkind, and Kenzo/Roulon Smith, have become my best friends. Nature walks and the Ithaca Farmers’ market on Saturday has been my saving grace. Hail to the Sun to keep shining His rays upon all who are worthy to receive them! Hael og Sael! Over and out…
