another week...another not-much-to-talk-about entry. but i'm sure like normal i'll be able to blab on enough to keep you entertained? or yawning.
this past week i've felt that i've gotten moderately back on track with my eating and with exercise. cam sessions are back to two a week, then dragon boating and also a few swims in there too. i should have swum yesterday, but i didn't, so oh well. cam's sessions aren't quite the same intensity as they used to be. for some reason it's less cardio these days and more weights. i'm not sure why the change happened. i shouldn't complain too much because i'm getting my cardio in other activities. then last night i made the decision to join up with a beginner's beach volleyball 5 week course with minna. it's every friday night for 2 hours so should be a lot of fun. but of course doing this means missing out on my friday cam sessions. so i text him yesterday to see what the chances are of switching my session to a saturday. he said he'd check his schedule but he still hasn't got back to me. useless trainer. so i'll get on his case about it tonight. dragon boating has also been going well. i steered the big boat last wednesday. i would have steered the whole practice but it's pretty hard on my legs the way i have to position them on the sides of the boat. so once we reached the half way point i swapped over with danny and he took over the steering. i'm feeling a little more confident with it, but it's still pretty hard and i get nervous thinking about doing any race steering. luckily we still have a few weeks before our next big event so hopefully i'll be feeling a little more confident by then. it's like learning to drive all over again...except this vehicle has 22 people in it and is quite a bit longer than a car!
i had a pretty dull weekend. saturday i spent the whole day with mom and dad going back and forth between the apartment and the old house grabbing the last of our things. our storage locker is now very neatly organized (unlike the bomb sites some peoples are in). dad helped me hang up all of our pictures and mirrors and whatnot so things are looking a little more settled. my room is another story, but last night i made a good dent in it. i was hanging out on my own on saturday night and jeff text asking if i wanted to go out in his canoe with him sunday afternoon. so yesterday he came and picked me up and we went out paddling around vancouver waters. he brought some beer and once we'd paddled enough we just floated around and chatted and had a drink. it was nice and relaxing and i was happy to get to chat to him again. i've been missing our evenings of blobbing on the couch talking about whatever. it started to cloud over and eventually rained a little so we paddled back to shore. but once we hit shore the sun came out again. so we stood around chatting and trying to see who could get our legs buried the deepest in the sand. yes...we are very cool. eventually we both got tired so we called it an afternoon. it was really fun. jeff is a really great guy and i definitely want to hang out more. thing is, with him he is friendly with everyone (to the point where jodie invited herself to go camping with him and he couldn't say no) so it's impossible to know if he could even be thinking of me in anything more than just a friend. he poked fun at me a lot, which to some people could be taken as flirting, but with jeff that's just what he does with everyone. so who knows. as minna said, i'll initiate a few more hang outs and we'll see. worst case i end up with a nice friend.
well i just got busted writing this by my big boss, so i should log off and do some actual work!
