Since my schedule's all screwed up this week due to commitments on Monday & Wednesday, I bike commuted Tuesday & Thursday instead ( Read more... )

Mom is now safely in Indiana, arguing with my crazy hoarder Uncle & trying not to see my Aunt.  I pity my grandmother if only for the holidays, which my mother has declared she will not attend if her sister is there.  And, of course, her sister WILL be there.

Ran Beach to Bay and I have three words: RAIN RAIN RAIN.

Oh my God, there was such rain.  ( Read more... )

I bought new running shoes today, and I'd forgotten how WONDERFUL good running shoes feel when they haven't been pounded in to submission.  My old ones were at least a year old, and I was having an absurd amount of knee pain.  Tonight I ran three miles and iced my knee just in case, but I feel GREAT.  God I love new running shoes!

AND I bought a new ( Read more... )

Iron Man 2 comes out in just over a week and tickets for the midnight showing are STILL not on sale. Not on, movie theater! Am also currently TERRIBLY jealous I don't live in Austin, because they premiered the flick at Alamo Drafthouse with Favreau and RDJ in the house and I had to WORK four hours away. UGH. I call shenanigans, life ( Read more... )

Kind of started the healthy eating/working out bit today (like, you know, some 3 million other people), except at dinner kind of went to the Chinese Buffet.  And...yeah, Day 1 is a bust.  BUT I did do my boot camp this morning!  Hopefully I don't hurt too badly tomorrow, since I'm supposed to run with peeps from work...

Um...it's cold and getting ( Read more... )

I'm indulging in a Burn Notice marathon for the New Year and trying not to pack up the car tomorrow morning & go camping (the weather is GLORIOUS in the mid-70's).

Also, the Alice obsession (and yeah, still working on porn!), has now led to me picking up series 1 & 2 of Primeval, which is absurd & fun.  I mean...dinosaurs!  And awesomeness!  I love ( Read more... )

Dad's back in the hospital.  Apparently they went to see the oncologist on Monday & she sent him to the hospital for tests...which would've been great if he hadn't immediately been admitted.  Something tells me that the whole "being in for three days" for "tests" (which a nurse told me they hadn't done yet) isn't good.

He's having some sort of minor ( Read more... )

Well, I dropped my classes.  I may go talk to Dr. Lee about doing more online classes or SOMETHING next semester, but for now I'm just all around meh.  And I'm not letting them talk me in to any more GIS classes, because I just. don't. CARE.

In happier news, I got my corset!!  It's SO beautiful, and it works wonderfully with my gold thrift store ( Read more... )

This is a weird week.

My toe seems to be finally healing, thanks to the cortizone pills my doctor put me on yesterday--apparently it's NOT impetigo, but some sort of reaction to something in the cup the cut my toe.  Damn made in china stuff!  But hey, I can wear shoes again!  Hurrah!

I don't know if it's all the medication or just readjusting after ( Read more... )

Signed up for a personal trainer again!!

Have done two workouts and now appear to have a rather painful flare-up of tendonitis.  Literally woke up Saturday morning about 3am & had to ice my arm until I could fall back to sleep.  I'm trying to go every other day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), but may have to take some time off to let my stupid old body ( Read more... )
