Much to do about nothing.

As the title might imply, I didn't do very much today. I was busy as all hell from the moment I woke up until I am finally sitting down at 9:00 PM EST, but I didn't really exercise. I didn't eat like crap, either, so it almost balanced out. But not really, as I really should have found some time to exercise. I am kinda lame today.

I did find this article on CNN though: 'The Beast' races to lose 100 pounds. It's about a man who blogged his journey to weight loss and fitness (good golly does that sound familiar) and is coming out in great shape because of it. He posts about the good and the bad, as any honest writer should. I would love to lose 100 pounds. I would love to eventually finish a marathon, too, not just a half. I am miles and miles away from that, no pun intended, but it's not a pipe dream if I keep up the running. I also would love to be featured on CNN for my triumphant weight loss and excellent blogging skills. I seriously would not mind talking with Anderson Cooper, either.

I adopted some rescue rats today. They came as triplets named Lock, Shock and Barrel, who are now friends with Artemis (a rat we rescued a couple weeks ago). They all came from the same rescue and are about the same age, so they're buddies now. In the rat world, they probably ran two marathons in the amount of energy they had this morning and afternoon, which is why they look absolutely pooped in this picture:

(From the top, clockwise: Shock, Lock, Artemis, Barrel.)

They have 3 levels to sleep on, and they all choose to sleep on the top bunk in a pile. If I exerted as much energy as they did today, I would probably do the same.

Tomorrow is another day. I am 194 days out until the Princess Half. To quote the great George Takei, "oh my."
