Good Exhaustion/Lighting

Posted by Moose Published in Biking, Club, Exercise, Home, Knitting, Mood, Shopping, Stuff, Swimming

Okay, getting back to exercise = one tired Moose.
Biked yesterday, swam tonight (aside - I don’t seem to smell like chlorine as strongly as I did when I swam at the old gym. hmmmm…). All good stuff. It helps that the USAT Club Challenge started today (swim month!), so I have more pressure motivation to [...]

Thanksgiving 2008

Posted by Moose Published in Annoyances, Baking, Biking, Cooking, Food, Friends, Games, Geek, Health, Home, Motivation, Racing, Triathlon, Work

All in all a very good Thanksgiving day. Was nice and quiet for most of it. The store this morning was uncrowded and uncharacteristically quick to get out of. The cooking went well, and I took the better of the two batches of cupcakes with me (made 2 dozen). Unfortunately I’ve broken a ring on [...]

Fees/Food

Posted by Moose Published in Annoyances, Cooking, Food, Friends, Games, Geek, Sleep, Work

Picked up replacement shoes (shower and gym), as well as a new lock this evening. Both pair were on sale, which is always good even when someone else is paying. Still, the replacement costs is going to be almost as much as they make from me for a year’s worth of locker rental fees.
Quiet [...]

Partial Success

Posted by Moose Published in Annoyances, Exercise, Stuff, Swimming

Partial success - they’re going to reimburse me for the items lost. When I take the receipts (and new items) in, I’ll give them some suggestions on how they can avoid this in the future (i.e., mark the rented lockers so when they do a “sweep” of lockers they can tell who’s paying and who’s [...]

Gym Fail

Posted by Moose Published in Exercise, Finance

Well, fuck.
Haven’t been to the gym in months (since August) because of my foot. Finally decided to go back, and to my surprise the locker I’ve been paying to rent was empty, no lock, no stuff (and nothing in the lost and found). And of course, no manager there this evening (he’ll be in [...]

The Scent of a Man

Posted by Moose Published in Sex

The thing I remember most is his scent.
There was a light touch of cologne, a bare hint of the last cigarette he had smoked (just a trifle, with all the sweetness of fresh tobacco and none of the acrid burn of the ashes), and the light musk of his sweat. None of it was [...]

Of Cleaning and Contemplation

Posted by Moose Published in Edumacation, Friends, Home, Knitting, Leisure, Mood, Shopping

While today was about quiet contemplation and recovery, tomorrow has to be about cleaning. Ick! Place is a mess, and I need to do beau coup laundry. My massage table hasn’t moved from the front hallway yet because I need to vacuum its normal resting spot before it goes back. Oy.
I think I’m headed to [...]

Returning to the Body

Posted by Moose Published in Body, Food, Health, Mood, Relationships

My name is Moose, I’m from Washington DC, and I’m aware of a feeling of calm and peace.
Celebrate the Body Erotic was, as always, a fantastic experience. Slightly smaller group, I think (28, including the staff), but the energy was fantastic. My impression was that while there were, as always, some men with wounds to [...]
