Are you sitting?
Well, I failed at the NaBloPoMo challenge. Sadly, I don't even have a good excuse as to why I didn't post anything yesterday. I wasn't feeling very inspired in the morning and decided I'd post something after dinner with my family. After dinner, I called a friend who lives about 10 minutes from Anthe's and ended up at her place. A couple hours after that I was drinking a beer with her brother and his friends. Several hours after that we were leaving the second bar and I ended up being convinced to come in the house for awhile. Around 4:00 I woke up and wanted my own bed. So, yeah, no post yesterday. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
My sister called unexpectedly yesterday. She is normally only allowed to call once a month, and we spoke last weekend, so I was surprised to hear her voice. I rarely answer the phone if I don't know who it is and I'm not expecting a phone call. I thought it might be the wife since the area code was 401, so I answered. I'm so glad I did. She called to tell me that after a long discernment process (a year and a half) she believes she's not called to be consecrated and is coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eeeeep! I was so happy and in shock and whatnot. It was unreal. She's coming home for Christmas...I don't know what day, but she is. And then she's home for good! :-) Well, she'll probably go to school or something like that, but I'm still happy about it. Words cannot express how much I've missed my sister. I've felt really disconnected from her since she left. I hope we're able to find and fix the disconnect. Now I'll have someone to go shopping with!
My body is really tight at the moment. Well, my legs are super-tight; my triceps are sore; my abs let me know they're there when I laugh, move in an unexpected way, or suddenly tighten my stomach. I didn't expect my legs to be this tight though, and I'm not quite sure what to do about them. I've stretched them out as best I can. I'll stretch them while watching TV, while getting ready, while doing homework, when I'm in bed, when I was at Michelle's...constantly, and no results. Today would normally be a legs day, but I think I'm just going to do a half-hour of cardio, some ab work, and call it a day. I don't want to injure my legs, but I also don't want to skip out on the gym. Hopefully that works out for me.
Today will be rather laid-back, especially since I didn't make it to my own bed till about 4:30 and received a text message around 9:30. I'm going to Mass with Michelle at 4:30, and going to dinner at my parents at 6:00. I need to do laundry, read a bit for school, and go to the gym. I'll probably watch some of the Browns game and contemplate cleaning out my old bedroom. I'll probably make it to bed late and forget that I have to be in the office by 8:00 AM (ouch!) tomorrow morning. Tomorrow calls for a Starbucks run!
P.S. I promise I'll give you a birthday post. I'm celebrating my birthday with the fam today, so it seems appropriate to wait until that's over.
