thin air
my jaw still hurts... the taste in my mouth could kill a small animal and I think I quit smoking about a week ago. with 2 small relapses of all-in-all 1,5 cigs, which I don't count. why not? because I've been smoking for... close to 16 years... the past 10 years or so, I think I've smoked around 40 cigarettes per day... capiche?
now... what am I supposed to do with all this air I didn't have before? on sunday afternoon, the sun decided to grace its namesakes' day and I decided to follow it outside and took myself out for a walk. if you wanna call 4 km a walk, that is. I managed it in less than an hour and I saw quite a few nice spots of the downtown area. I grew up here, have lived downtown for about 5 years now and on sunday, I literally stumbled over a true gem: the herbal garden, situated behind another park... leaning into the old town's wall. how can I describe how it looks like? (of course I didn't bring my digi cam heh what else is new)
think louis XIV. meets old farmers' garden. box trees shaved to form little hedges around all kinds of fancy ancient plants... like a violet version of lollo rosso (that's salad), just that was some sort of cabbage. really cool spot. I know that won't have been the last time I went there.
afterwards I walked along the old wall. dating back a coupla hundred years, there's a section where you can walk on the wall... like the outer barrier, and feel like a knight/lady. kinda cool.
on monday morning, I woke up at 5 am, with my face hurting like I've went along a coupla rounds with muhammad ali. after 20 mins I gave up getting back to sleep, but got up, showered and made myself some breaky while watching the news on the telly. decided to walk to the appointment to take the stitches out... thought I'd need about 45 mins, but managed in 30. walked to the trainstation afterwards... in other words: I had an hour's worth of workout before work. fookin' 'ell, what's going on here?
when I got to work, goldeneye had put 4 e-mails into my account, being funny, sweet, approving... just aawwwwww :)))
next thing I buy running shoes?
someone pin her down, she's floating off the ground!
