Oh the things going stir crazy can do to you.

My computer was glitching. Again. It's fifteen and a half inch screen flitted on and off as I repressed the urge to punch it violently. It was an issue with the backlight that i have been managing since it began to not work who knows how long ago. As I pressed hard on the power button, silencing its pain, I looked around the room wondering what i would do now.
I had options. I could go visit Lori or I could have went with Huong to get my hair cut...but I didn't. Now my one source of diversion in my stasis, my computer, was out for the count today.
I didn't want to watch tv. I didn't want to stare at my phone. No one was chatting with me.
My brain felt like it was going to burst.
Then my brain planted some stupid idea in my head...and of course I went along with it.
I checked the locks on the front door and I changed my clothes.
I scouted pinterest and began exercising.
The temperature in the apartment was easily eighty degrees so I sweat fairly soon, but that was okay. I made a list of the exercises I did while my head kept thinking 'retrain your brain'. I think that saying came from a commercial that repeats it over and over again and obviously it made a subconscious impact.
I ended up doing like five different exercises and then for some god-awful reason I looked over at the empty can of soda I had earlier and thought 'nope'.
I began to grab various drinks in the kitchen and made my very own, very unscientific juice drink.
Let's just say it's mostly water and tea. My one thought was: no sugar!
It didn't come out that bad and mostly tastes like weak tea.

So yeah I'm going to be drinking this down no problem.

My body feels normal and I'm no longer stir crazed.

I just want to sip my drink and write. Like I am in the mood to write. It's a good feeling.

So hopefully I keep this exercising up and get it more complex. It wakes up my brain in the best of ways.

I guess I sorta want to 'retrain my brain' by giving energy to it through exercising my body.

If i get physical results so be it, but I'm more focused on my mind.
