Disaster Avoidance and the Why

Thankfully, I avoided any self-created disaster. I didn't sleep much, but also didn't have to rush this morning. I thought I should explain why those three tasks needed to be done last night.

I now run four times a week. I do short runs Tuesday through Thursday. Three to six miles is short. I save the long run for Saturday or Sunday. To maintain some semblance of a routine, it was crucial to run yesterday.

I needed to pack because I'll be heading up to Sacramento straight from work. We'll be staying overnight to get an early start on tomorrow's adventure. I hope to share a few action photos on Monday. It's something else I've never tried before, so I'm excited.

I cleaned the house because my parents threatened plan to stop by while I'm gone. My mom claims she only wants to check on the place. I told her not to worry about it, but that was a mistake. Mothers take "don't worry" as a clear sign to worry.

The house is nearly spotless, but the next time we talk, she'll likely say, "You didn't dust very well, so I gave everything a once over." or "Did you know you have spiderwebs in the corner behind the washing machine?" I'll feel quite grown-up after that.

On a lighter note, we had dessert at the Palo Alto Creamery Fountain & Grill in the Stanford Shopping Center last night. Oreo cookie mint sundaes are delicious.

And on an unrelated note, if you replaced the name "Jon Peter Lewis" with "Matt Rogers", my spoiler would be more accurate. Of course, the point of spoilers (at least the ones I cook up) is amusement, not accuracy.
