Day 2479 in NYC

The slush is beginning to recede more and more..yay! Soon I hope the snow will be completely gone too and then I will be really happy! I am still resisting the rain boots LOL I guess my vanity is more important than keeping my shoes dry!

I was searching on the net today to see if they had cleared the snow by the East River to see if I could go out walking after work today, instead of finding that information I found an article about a woman that was raped and robbed late November last year at 7:30 pm (19:30) so I have now decided not to walk there after work! I will keep my walks on East River to the weekends during the middle of the day when the place is filled with people!

That also made me think of an article I read about a professor who was talking about a shooting incident where this guy had taken a gun to school and started shooting people because a girl had rejected him. The professor told the story and then he asked how this could have been prevented, most of the people in the class felt that the girl should not have rejected him…in my head I was like “What the FUCK!! Seriously!!!” so are we living in a society where girls should now be forced to say yes to someone they don’t like because that person may get violent towards others? what if the guy gets violent with the girl, I guess that doesn’t matter? Then as the cherry on top, the drama I was watching I was looking at the last episode today and this guy is saying the following to one of the girls “You should not have made me like you” just to clarify she hadn’t done anything! On Several occasions she had told him that she liked someone else and that there was no way they would ever be a couple…how much clearer can you get? It makes me wonder what type of message we are putting out there in the world for our future generation of women!

Now that I have managed to raise my heart rate about this issue let me tell you something nice 😀 With the Fitbit it keeps track of all these various stats, one of them is my resting heart rate, which is 63, so apparently that falls within the Excellent range! It also tracks my sleep and it seems I am not a very quiet sleeper, on average on weekdays I am restless at least 1-2 times every hour. Now on Fridays and Saturdays when I go to bed later and I don’t have to get up in the morning it seems I sleep so much better I am usually only restless once or twice ..very fascinating. Maybe I should do a sleep study sometime 😀

On that sleep note I will wrap up my day and make my bed, since last night I was apparently tossing and turning so badly that all the sheets are tangled up LOL, and no I do not make my bed in the morning…or very often at all…unless I have guests LOL

LOTSA LOVE!!
