I like cats. I like them for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is that they are pretty much a clean animal. When I moved into the house I am living in now I was kind of happy that I would be in a house of cats again. These cats kinda suck. Cali is super skiddish and just hides all day so she might as well not exist. Lola is almost the exact oppoiste. Lately when she's not screaming at me or getting in my way when I am preparing a meal she is vomiting somewhere. I can handle human vomit. That doesn't get to me. But cat vomit... ew. The sounds, the sights, and the smells make me nauseous. It's so sick. My room mate (owner of the cats) has this medicine for her that comes in a squeeze tube and it looks almost as grose as what it is trying to prevent. I really hope that the cat vomit is cleaned up before I get home today or else I might freak out and start looking for a new place. I understand she (room mate) is busy and stuff, but for real, if you are goign to own a pet PLEASE clean its vomit up in a timely fashion... especially if you don't live alone. I refuse to live in an apt. littered with animal excrement. Refuse.
Moving along... I hurt my back last week doing squats. I was on the 8th rep. of my first set (of 8 intended reps) when I felt this aweful "not right" feeling on the right side of my lower back. Basically, I've been seeing alot of strength gains over the past few months, so I've been increasing the weight I've been doing a little too fast... maybe... sacrificing form in the process. It's time for me to change up my routine anyways so I'm back to doing full body routines vs. isolated groups like I was doing. I like it so far. I think next week I might start doing free weights with my legs again. But not as heavy as I was doing. Also, running at memorial rules. Definately going there this evening. Seriously not on track to run the half. Actually, I prob. could do the half, just not in a time that I would feel proud of. Maybe I should do it anyways just for the experience (and the shame) so that I will feel compelled to try again to get better results. We'll see. I honestly think if I can push myself to go for a third loop around memorial, the 4th loop (which comes to around 12 miles) will come shortly after, and BAM, I'm ready for a 13.1 mile half marathon. three weeks? can I do it? Yes, I think so! But time will tell... and going to the MCD show in Austin this weekend won't help that goal at all...
The Murder City Devils are playing in Austin, TX this weekend and I am so excited! Lots of friends are going to be there and they are also super MCD fans too. We are going to drink alot and sing alot and have alot of fun. It's going to be a party. I love that band.
Then on Monday, Columbus Day, I am going to the beach with super crush. I like super crush; she's pretty; and I like that I am taking off work to go to the beach with her. I predict an awesome day!
OK I think I need to get back to work now. Ummm, in summation, life's been good lately. Things aren't sucky for the most part and I've been pretty happy.
