shanmonster | The Good Ol' Days

My days off grow ever more dear to me. I remember contemplating going for a long bike ride today. But when I awoke and did the calculations, I realized there simply aren't enough daylight hours left to me. So no long bike rides for me, unless I want to risk it on the highway at night. Drat.

Work was quite slow last night because of it being a holiday, so I spent my downtime reading Jack London's The People of the Abyss. Even at my absolute worst, I've had it vastly better than the average person living in Whitechapel, London around the turn of the 20th century. I'm astounded at just how much degradation people can live through. Humans can survive a preposterous amount of abuse.

On that note, I'll end my own privations and grab some food before I get to the gym for my regular dose of weight training.
