"Like riding a psychotic horse toward a burning stable"

Happy Martin Luther King day! I just love bank holidays. I've spent the morning dying my hair and watching Matt Damon movies, all I need is a pint of Ben and Jerry's and it's a party. But then you can't turn over a new leaf and keep the ice cream so I'm working on some iced tea instead. I feel pretty good about it actually, it's a relief to not have to think about food so much. At present I'm mostly thinking about the cold. Why do I make these promises to myself, such as today to spend the whole day outside, and then it turns out to be -9. It's just not right.
