So today I spent about four hours cleaning.
I did 120 crunches yesterday and a 120 crunches today.
Starting to get up and actually do stuff. It feels good.
Not that I'm anywhere near a clean room. Or anywhere near a six pack.
Typically, working doesn't feel good. But perhaps
because I've been just sitting for hours and hours this summer, moving about feels good.
Random trivia here: Did you know that working to a six pack is 95% cardio and 5% ab exercise?
That's because you have to lose the fat first to build muscle. I thought that was pretty interesting.
My tummy hurts a LOT.
Okay, so I also rummaged through all the crap I have in my room. Man! I have so much unnecessary junk it's overwhelming! Like, I have probably more broken pencils and pens than I have working pencils and pens. I have papers from like two years ago. I have binders of seemingly important stuff, but not really. You know. I am so ashamed to have been fostering this pile of JUNK with me. So I'm recycling all these papers that have no use to me. I'm keeping the ones that have some sort of value. But the thing is, it's really hard for me to just let things go. You know what I'm thinking when I'm deciding whether to throw something away?
Will my daughter or granddaughter want to see this? I'm only in high school---and I don't even know why it's a daughter I'm imagining. I mean, my future child could be a son. Anyways, I'm picturing this daughter of mine just extremely curious about the life her mother had. She'd be asking: what was my mom's handwriting like? Was she a good student? So even though it may be the most useless piece of crap EVER, I will seriously debate this in my head.
Yeah, I think she'll want to see this.
And then, before I know it....I'm keeping everything! I just want to know: Am I weird for thinking this? I'm a high school student worrying about whether my future daughter will want to see my work, and it is causing me to harbor the most disorganized room in the world. I bet, in the end, my daughter won't give a darn about my adolescence.
