Fighting entropy

[pegkerr]

As elisem says, I was mighty and slew much paperwork today. The mail table is finally clean (until tomorrow's mail comes, of course). This took two hours. It is stunning how much paper flows into this house. Since I did that, I don't think I will tackle more financial paperwork tonight; I've done my part to beat back the forces of chaos for one day.

I have been feeling really pretty good lately, much better (I think) than I did this time last year. I think it might be due to my decision to take my exercise during the day by walking on the Stone Arch Bridge rather than going down to the office gym and using the elliptical. I haven't been using my light box (no time in the mornings), but I'm getting outside to walk each day for anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour (when you add up all my breaks). It seems to be making a real difference, and I've been feeling more energetic than usual at tackling all sorts of things to clean the house up, which in turn makes me feel even better. And I'm pleased about the weight loss.

Oh, also: I'm on LJ talk, now, using Jabber.

That's an impressive paperwork victory. And the outside walking is great too.

I'm guessing you're getting the equivalent of the light box during your outside breaks, but does intensity make a difference?

Our mail table is the kitchen table (just shoving stuff over so there's space for us to eat), and I was actually thinking as I got up that we were way overdue for a serious cleaning. Again.

I'm so glad to hear you're doing well this autumn. I hope it continues! Go you for taking care of yourself. *hug*
