Get to go to the gym
Join a new gym I could actually go to on Mondays

Did
Sleep in 'til 9
Pursue ideas for the next phase of arty blog
Watch wide-eyed as the possibility space expanded
Nap
Read about freelance writing
Enjoy the hell out of some crazy weather
Haul 225lbs off the ground 3 times
Feel excited about my life for the first time in ages
Didn't
Let myself get out of control
Lose sight of the realities
Forbid myself from daydreaming about best-case scenarios
Actually accomplish much or take any real steps
Worry about the book
Cheat much on my workout
Know how tired I was until I sat down

Get unexpected props and advice for arty blog
Drag my co-workers out to drinks
Say what I think
Get the fastest-ever R train home

Laugh at Architect-girl dismissing the social aspect of urban spaces
Have a real talk with the coworker I like
Get home in time for dinner with Husband
Get myself in trouble

Fantasize about writing a resignation letter
Attempt to come up with authoritative park typologies
Faff around with paperwork
Ditch my work to finish making a model
Make fun of J'Biden

Did
Get up damn early
Tromp to the gym through the snow
Suck it up at lifting
Say good morning to a lot of neighbors out shoveling
Cook some stew that was greedily gobbled up at a potluck
Make like a wallflower
Quietly connect with someone
Let cleanup be my icebreaker and enjoy the last half-hour
Didn't
Become someone else
Wallow in workout disappointment
Give up during the awkward uncomfortable bit of the party and go home sad
Rescue Husband from interminable conversation with That One Guy
Do any real-life stuff

Did
Wake up without the alarm
Waste the morning on teh intarwebs
Get out of the house
See a fantastic documentary
Have a conversation about it
Watch some internet stupidity unfold
Think about something other than my damn self, for a change
Didn't
Work on the book
Go to the gym
Do any chores
Go to a super-nerdy gathering
Regret any of it

Did
Do a little more model-making
Throw together thrilling last-minute promotional materials
Watch my boss begin to lose my first potential project in a YEAR
Find out Underling is getting 5 weeks' pay for doing 5 days' work
Feel jealous of people who talk easily
Wonder if I'll ever have anything to say
Didn't
Spread the Underling gossip to anyone who actually knows her
Tell my boss I think he got played
Express disappointment about the project
Fuck anything up
Find a new job

Did
Get to hear my favorite busker on the subway
Decide that I would rather make models than do boring stuff
Make models most of the day
Watch Underling get fired
Pretend not to see someone on the train who then waited for me when we got off
Finally get to go back to the gym
Didn't
Prep the terrible presentation I'll eventually have to give
Follow up about that raise
Worry about finding a new job
Speed squat very speedily
Seize the interesting conversational leads dangled in front of me
Get too angsty about it

Did
Betray the mice huddling in our ceiling to our landlord
Get a bunch of meaningless stuff done at work
Briefly fall asleep at my desk
Freak a girl out on the subway by blowing my nose near her
Whine and gripe about self-imposed dietary restrictions
Think of a possible next phase for arty blog
Defiantly eat a banana
Didn't
Get upset by anything at the workplace
Bother asking where underling was on the 5th day of 7 she's been absent
Find a new job
Work on the book
Create new and meaningful relationships
Shoulder-check anybody on the street
Play with dogs

Did
Dream I was choking, pulling ribbons of chard out of my throat
Read about racism in architecture some more
Tread water at work
Celebrate the end of my cold with a new one
Fall asleep waiting for dinner
Do a saline nasal rinse for the first time ever (ew)
Didn't
Follow up about that there raise I asked for
Catch up on promo research I was supposed to do a while back
Figure out how to make a mandatory presentation less boring
Apply for two still-sort-of-promising jobs
Quit
Go to the gym
Eat birthday cake
Work on the book
Get a dog
