Another day begins to draw to a close. And a good day it was. After being a little lazy over the past week and a half with my running routine, so today I decided to fall back on my old faithful......walking. After failing at grasping all of the content of lesson 4 of Pimsleur's Learn French, a nice hour long walk along a canal was the perfect way to take a break while listening to lessons 2 and 3 again.
The good news is I'm beginning to retain the difference between the French for "and" and "but" (they rhyme!), and I managed to get a bit of exercise, which will hopefully start to deal with the belly that I'm starting to get........let's be honest, a skinny middle-aged man with a pot belly really isn't the most appealing thing to look at!......although I will grant that after being somewhat slim for my entire life, it is a bit funny to watch it jiggle!
Well, I've managed to make it through another day without succumbing to the demon drink and satan smoke, which is something that I don't often think of during the day now, except when posting here. Perhaps this time I've actually managed to kick the monkey on my back that is nicotine addiction.......but then again, we'll see. I believe this is about the 5th time I've lasted a month or more without smoking, so perhaps it's best to wait before breaking out the metaphoric champagne.
Well, being that it's almost dinner time, and I think it's time I attended to my ever growing stomach, and perhaps for dessert......Pimleur's lesson 4 again.
Have a good evening Friends.
:)
