First, a moment of silence, please.
I finally had to pull the trigger and retire my beloved Doc Martens.
Farewell, my friend. It was a good run.
Yes, I had to put them out to pasture a couple weeks back when I went outside at work and promptly felt the water seeping into my boot. It had been slightly ripped for some time, but I kept clinging on as long as I could.
Now, one would say “Just buy a new pair,” and I would love to, except these were from their industrial line and have been discontinued.
These days, I rock a pair of Timberlands. Great boots, but man, I miss my Docs. Ah, well. Life goes on.
As for where my boots took me, well, pretty much everywhere since that’s all I really wear. Don’t think I have had a pair of sneakers in over 20 years. They just don’t feel right on my feet anymore. Or, at least, I have not found a pair that does yet.
Okay, that’s about all I have for this prompt. 😄
In other news, I got my third certificate, and with a bit of luck and timing, I will have my fourth by the end of this week. Shooting for today, but if not, then Thursday should do the trick!
Still have another iron in the fire, but I am continuing to remain quiet on that one for the moment.
Got the cert. Did not get cool gold badge, though.
Did a bunch of stuff outside yesterday, and man, my hands are paying for it today. Between the wind, chipping away at 1 inch thick ice, and grabbing cold ass metal while doing stuff on my car, my hands have said enough for the moment.
Take that, foul ice minion!
I also did a bit of switching up of my dietary habits recently.
While I often profess my love for pizza and all things junk food, I do try to keep it mostly in moderation. Lately, I have not had the time nor ambition to eat as well as I normally would and my body is really beginning to feel it.
This week I have made a conscious effort to try and be a bit more moderate, and I can already feel a slight difference. My digestion is better and I don’t feel as weighed down.
Not pizza, but steak and thick cut bacon are epic win. And yes, I do eat vegetables too.
Other than that, it’s just another day at Gorilla HQ.
Wishing you all a great day!
