Clean jeans.

I just put my jeans on. They were so stretched out when I took them off. They look better now, no saggy butt.

One of the goals in coming here, out of my normal environment, was to change some lifestyle habits - mainly eating habits and being a slug. A side effect of that is to lose weight. After yesterday, I've realized that even if I don't lose weight, I am going to be more fit. Especially if I keep getting lost - Wednesday I went for that extra half hour bike ride and yesterday, I was about a mile and a half out of my way.

The getting lost yesterday was frustrating. Not at all enjoyable like the Wednesday turnabouts. What happened to my sense of direction? We shall test it again in about two hours.

I'm heading to Utrecht in a bit. There I will wander, attempt to climb a tower for an overcast view of the city, and meet someone for a canoe ride and a quick dinner. A. - I met her at the wedding and she was also at dinner Wednesday. We'll drive back to Amsterdam for she is going to a tango club this evening. I will come home and go to bed early. Yes. First time since I've been here. The computer or movies suck me in - tonight there is a movie I might watch... Napoleon - it's a French film with actors I like... it's in French with Dutch subtitles, so I may try and go to bed early any way.

Okay. This is the first overcast, slightly craptastic day. That could explain my mood. Or this is the two week mark. I'm not homesick, but something is off. Could be my scratchy throat. Though, to stop complaining, Delft yesterday was beautiful. And the pottery tour was fun. I painted my own tile! An expensive, but unique sovenir for myself. And I found the factory with no trouble at all. And the weather was gorgeous.
