Brand new The Office tonight.  I wasn't impressed.  Andy is a good choice to replace Michael, and I howled with laughter a few times...but overall it just wasn't that funny.  The planking thing is old and went on too long, and the themes of distrust and suspicion are tired and done.  Dwight of course was awesome.  The rest was forgettable.  And ( Read more... )

Though I did not feel fine this morning, I felt good enough to carry on.  Did Pilates, ran 3 miles.

Watched the new Castle episode while on the treadmill.  I miss Montgomery already...and I have to say ~skip to next paragraph to avoid any hint of spoiler~ I pretty much loathe the "I'm keeping this extremely important information away from X person ( Read more... )

I think I'm getting a cold.  A bit of a runny nose, combined with that scratchy throat thing, topped off by vague hints of body aches.  It's been a while since I've had a virus, so I guess I'm due.  We'll see what's up in the morning.  Either I'll be normal and laugh in the face of illness  HA HA!, or I'll feel like human garbage and spend the day ( Read more... )

Did Pilates today for the first time in ages and ages.  I really REALLY need to stop with the on-off thing.  It about killed me today.  So once again I will vow to keep up with Pilates, at least every other day, regain my abdominal muscle tone, and not fucking lose it.

After the humiliating few minutes on the mat, I ran two and a half miles on the ( Read more... )

+got my chores done, including all laundry.  Tomorrow I have a few remaining things, then it is time to plant my ass and write.

+went around the loop again and, again, felt fabulous.  My right leg is super fucked up (hip twinge now can be described as pain, though the hamstring wasn't as bad as yesterday, and new twinge on lower part of shin) but my ( Read more... )

I worked four hours vending food at the farmers market.  Nice weather, though I was a tad overdressed--the sun was shining directly on me the whole time.

When I got home, Stuart was back from the office and was almost done working out.  Scout was crabby from goofing off online instead of having lunch.  So I changed and cajoled her into eating, and ( Read more... )

More of the same stuff this week.  Below are the highlights ( Read more... )

Ran three miles on treadmill this morning--longest I've run since it's gotten hot.  Minor right knee twinge, nothing I couldn't ignore.

After stretching and making triple iced latte (not in that order), I took care of errands--pick up meds for Gryphon, return over-due library books, grocery to replace thrown away mayo and purchase yogurt and pudding ( Read more... )

After three days rest, I was able to find time to get back on the treadmill today.  Ran two and a half miles slowly.  Other than being hot, it was fine.  I think tomorrow I will run, hopefully earlier in the day while it's still relatively cool (75 versus 85), then try this.  It's been ages since I've done yoga, but I need to exercise more.  I've ( Read more... )

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows 2 was fun and exciting, decent use of 3-D, and I'm really glad we decided to go with the big opening-night crowd.  Lots of people dressed up--plenty of the usual Hogwarts students but the best were Dobby and Bellatrix.  I did cry when Snape died and really let it out in the scene where Harry accessed his memories.  ( Read more... )
