Living the simple life...

[wshaffer]

So, you might think that a girl could, when her alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m., manage to snuggle with spouse, get out of bed, make a cup of chai*, check the world news, update livejournal, meditate**, work out, stretch, shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, and make it to a 9:00 a.m. meeting on time. (Actually, looking at that list, I'm not sure that one would think that a girl could manage all of that, but that was the task list I set myself this morning.)

As things were, I skipped stretching (I'll make it up later) and breakfast (had whole wheat toast and peanut butter after meeting), and was still 10 minutes late to my meeting thanks to a mysterious traffic jam on Page Mill Road.

* I've gotten a tad superstitious about having my cup of chai before I do a Podrunner workout. It seems absurd to have a nice cup of hot milky tea just before working up a sweat, but the one time I skipped it, I had the worst post-workout nausea I've ever experienced.

** A sense of time pressure doesn't really contribute to a great meditation session, but since dealing with that OMG Gotta GO GO GO! feeling is one of the reasons I meditate, it would have felt silly to skip it.

warm fuzzies!!

I have a silly work related question for you... I have been surfing VM's website and still can't figure out how to increase the space on my mac harddrive devoted to my VM-Window's simulation... and I've run out of space. It won't let me save any more pictures :-(

Any idea where I should be looking? TYVM!!
