Happy New Year!
Let's pretend I'm not a couple of days late with this already. ;)
Our trip back from Oregon was nicely uneventful until we were rear-ended at a stoplight about 10 minutes from the house. The driver of the sedan crumpled her hood, and our SUV's rear bumper needs to be replaced, but no one was hurt.
New Year's eve, we started watching Goldeneye ( Read more... ) -
I can't believe this is only Wednesday...
There was a weekend, during which I wrote my Idol entry (and did not go with horror, though I'd thought about it), did some Xmas browsing but found almost nothing, and passed on going to the library. I'll have to go this weekend, though. The library closes during part of the break and my son, by contrast, reads 3x-4x the usual number of books. :O ( Read more... ) -
Turkey Eve...
Apart from the endless work overage, I spent late last week trying to write something for Idol and just being frustrated. I was looking to write fiction, but didn't really like the prompt, and then Saturday I was talking to my daughter about my mom's experiences in medical school, and thought "Oh! Duh..." So, it's done and posted ( Read more... ) -
Behold, the power of socks!
Seriously. I've been struggling with toe-blisters on my left foot for weeks now, and it finally occurred to me that my Thorlo running socks might not have enough padding left. New pair today, and it definitely helped! This is the iffiest pair of Asics I've had yet, though. I usually go up a half-size so my second toe doesn't get squished, but ( Read more... ) -
It's Saturday-ay-ay-ay-uh-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-heeeee!
(Apologies for random Marcy Playground, and that's not even one of the songs I particularly like.)
So, the Oregon Ducks are playing right now, but I can only catch the score updates because it's being shown on the "Pac12 Network." That is an "extra" cable channel that ESPN sells certain games to after buying up all the broadcast rights to make it ( Read more... ) -
So close, and yet still not Friday...
So, a weekend happened, and yet I didn't touch the taxes. Must finish this week at the latest, now that I've resigned myself to the fact that it's going to hurt!
We saw Gravity this weekend, which was really good and which may have cured me from any fantasies about going into space. I can see why it was a challenge to film, as most of it is ( Read more... ) -
No news is good news...
I ran this morning, without incident. \o/ Didn't run the whole distance (getting up early to run sometimes means being too tired to run), but 3.5 miles of the 4 is good. No falling. However, I must remember that neighborhood garbage pickup day is not the ideal day for running. Gads, the smells ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
My hands are healing up, and the bruise on the one palm is almost gone. Tomorrow is a running day, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have a repeat of last week. Have to get back up on that horse, though, and sooner is probably better.
Today, I biked past a field near my office that sometimes has grazing cattle. Occasionally, it's ( Read more... ) -
*Splat*
What a week. We're in that windy Spring phase where it's hard to bike outside. I biked Sunday, went to the gym Monday and Tuesday, and had to abort biking on suddenly-windy Wednesday (yesterday). Fine-I decided to head home a little early and go running instead. I got home, got dressed, did the 7-10 minute warmup walk, and then started running. At ( Read more... ) -
Pre-post post...
It's Dec 10, which means I have blogging scheduled for my Blogotron Meme today, courtesy of bleodswean. Still looking for more blogging topics, so if you're interested, check out that post. :D
But first, a quick update:
- I did not wind up getting sick last Friday-I pulled through after a couple of hours. *keeps knocking wood*
- My work computer tried to die ( Read more... )
