^-^
I live. Believe it or not. Gee, we've all gone pretty silent here recently...
Last night, I burned enough calorie points to reach Silver in the President's Challenge. Yay for Silver! Ow for soreness. Haha, I haven't been able to exercise the entire week for a while, and haven't really exercised at all for the past week and a half due to laziness and travel. But, I tried to make the most of it last night at the Zumba Plus class and have sore chest and back muscles as my reward. And crazy me, I'll probably do more of the same (sans weights since it's just a Zumba class, not a Zumba Plus class) again tonight. The question is whether I run/walk for the next repeat of week 5 of the Couch to 5k program. I'm thinking of giving up on that until next June when the weather gets nice again. But, I'd hate to lose the conditioning I've already gained, so... we'll see.
I really need to finish Starsea's story. I finally come up with a good Doctor story for her in response to the birthday request she made years ago, and I can't seem to finish it. *sigh* I will, though. I just have to find time and motivation.
Work is work. I've been traveling back and forth to PA since June. At first, it was just once a month. Now, it's like every other week or so. Who knows where I will be next week or the week after that. Things are so crazy... But soon, part I of this project will be done.
I think the main thing is that I haven't really had a vacation yet this year. Normally, I take a week off at the end of May/beginning of June. This year, though, I've just been using a day here, a half day there. I took off two days last week and went to visit relatives in PA (my grandmother was up from Florida), but then I had to turn around and go straight to the plant across the state so I still feel tired and like I didn't have any time off. I'm hoping I can make it to Thanksgiving week, and then just take the whole week off at home. *crosses fingers* Maybe that will help... Maybe I will last that long...
Alas, for now, I have to get back to work. Ree, still no messages from Phooka-chan. Guess I'll have to send her one to make sure that they know she's on my accepted list.
Ja ne!
