You And I Both
Jan. 15th, 2008 11:37 amThe fog was amazing coming in this morning! I looked up from fiddling with my iPod to see an entire world of ghost lights, and disembodied limbs swirling through in the distance. It was a great thing to wake up to, and the best of all it's still relatively dreary. I'm sure I'll have tea and dragon when I come home this evening.
I'm getting really excited about my move to vegetarianism. I've been talking about it at work and getting flak from coworkers about not immediately jumping ship to a non-meat diet, but I'm wanting to draw out the move to a sort of meaty farewell tour. "And this is the last time I shall have you, chickens."
Trying not to make too big a deal of it, because (as far as it goes) it's only for Lent, but the more I think about it, the more I'd like to do it full-time. So far the only thing that it seems I'd be missing is B12, which is present in cereals and/or supplements anyway. It's mostly a matter of getting away from the habit that meat is a necessity in meals. And making sure that I'm not lazy with food any more.
I'm feeling kind of rundown today; it might be the weather, it might be the assortment of random aches and pains that have been assaulting me. Stiff leg here, earache there (earaches are a horrible thing for rabbits), sore shoulder, the list goes on. I'm feeling the creep of age already; a sleepless night affects me in much clearer ways, I don't bounce back as quickly from injury, I can be a right forgetful bastard, that sort of thing. This sort of thing fills me deeply with contentment, because I'm just a big weirdo.
Now it's time to be a hard-ass and finish my lunch hour with some writing.
