1. I sent this picture to Jemma before the weekend. She’s been tackling a big paper and needed a pick-me-up. It was well received and I am sure that in one week the entire University of Regina will have seen it. If you are not in the UR network, here it is for you:

From a photo blog by Andrea. I think she’s in NY. There is a large factory there, and they produce these amazingly funny, smart, witty women who blog and I read and love their blogs. It’s great.
2. I am trying to start running again (yes it’s been six months…this is a cycle that’s been going on for oh about 5 years now) so expect future complaints about knee pains. I get some nasty tendonitis but I absolutely must run a marathon someday!
3. I bought a cd today: Headphones
I’m actually not supposed to buy anything for the next 4 months because I cannot accumulate (self imposed regulation)…but I was in a grey mood and needed a fix of something. Something that would not necessarily break me away from my glum but let me calmly float along with it. It did the trick - quite the remedy. Only synthesizer and drums…very simple. Check out their free song: Headphones - “Pink and Brown.mp3″
4. Then I went to yoga and learned the breath of joy. It worked…made me quite joyous. Well I was also already pretty happy by then because a gloomy day was turning out alright - new cd, coffee with Ali (and awesome gift from her), some research done, and
5. I got a passport photo taken today. Comparing it to my ID picture taken 6.5 years ago, I look quite the same as I did when I was 18. Sure, when I was 18 I looked 25…but, well…it’s pretty funny. Maybe I will post the pictures one day.
6. It’s amazing how agreeable apples are.
