A walk in the sun

disappointed_lesbianI took a long walk in the sun this afternoon and I feel that I'm going to sleep well because of it. I mean that I feel quite drowsy, the healthy and normal drowsiness that leads to sleep, not the one that comes from insufficient sleep.
Note to self to go for an afternoon walk everyday. Merely sitting in the sun doesn't cut it. So I don't know what kind of job I'm going to hold if I need an afternoon walk everyday.
Today was cleaning day and I actually got a substantial amount of cleaning done for once. I feel good about that.
I tried to take my afternoon walk on the track. I wanted to try drilling Mandarin sentences on the smartphone while walking since I don't really have to watch where I'm going on the track. But there was construction going on at the school, so the area was too loud. I tend to neglect my Mandarin sentences so I'm trying to find ways to fit them into my day. They very much aide the development of fluency.
I wish there was a job I could get with my Mandarin skills, well, when I become more fluent anyhow. Aside from doing something I want to do and the small chance that I may go to Taiwan after all one day, I'm sort of wasting time. Learning to read Chinese is a bear of a task, and developing listening comprehension isn't easy either given that so many of the "words" sound alike.
I think I had hot flashes last night. I felt warm inside my body but the surface of my skin was still cold.
I can't with these goddamned modern novels; reading them is like reading children's books. I got bored with Dean Koontz' simple writing style and went to the library for a Stephen King novel today. Except for It, all the books available were newer King works. I read the summaries and they all sounded rather boring. Plus I wasn't actually in the mood for Stephen King's writing style, which is also rather simple. I picked out a sci-fi novel instead. I hope it's readable.
