This week I started working out! I've always been one of those who never works out but is always planning to do so, and for years I have managed to avoid it, but now there's no mercy: winter is coming and it's going to be cold and merciless, and I really need some energy. I already feel more tired and sleepy than usual, I just can't stand this autumn darkness, and my back is always killing me when it gets cold. So last week I did some yoga and took a course in strengthening the back musculature (which is something everyone should do! A healthy back is usually not truly appreciated before it's gone), and went for a swim in the pool at my university. Boy, it was fun! Once I got started, I actually found working out a lot of fun, so I hope I can keep it up now that I have bought those overly-expensive work-out shoes and a new swimsuit. *sighs*

So I'm planning 3 or 4 work-outs a week, we'll see if I can stick to that. The other day I also got those skirts I ordered online over two months ago, so I'm really happy and feeling totally like a princess. I wish more women wore skirts and more men wore hats! I love hats ... Anyway, I think it's time people started dressing a bit more colorful! I got on the train some days ago, and as I entered it seemed as if I had walked into a funeral: everybody wore dark coats and jackets and black or dark jeans or skirts. And it was so quiet! Very sinister. I wish people would put on more colorful clothes and brighten the cold winter days up a bit!
