It’s funny. I was just thinking how “it’s not summer” = rain because it’s the Pacific Northwest after all, but it’s blue skies and sunshine right now. . . . And now it’s not. Yeah, it’s February

My mood is rainy though. Stormy. I’d just like to wake up not hurting/aching and more tired than when I went to bed. Maybe I can get Iqbal to the mattress store this week. That would help, if not cure the problem.

Okay/ . . . Time for the exercise bike. Oddly, if I persevere long enough, which is usually more than 30 minutes (so, longer than I originally planned to exercise) I actually start to feel better. Runner’s high, I guess. Anyway, that sort of makes me look forward to exercising, in a backhanded sort of way, and that’s definitely a good thing for me to do. Reading, writing, stitching and drawing (the things I do) are not helpful for keeping in shape.
