I went home at a normal time after work today. I had all these options, see -- could've gone to Simon's and hung out with him, Will & Kira or could've gone to some other location where Dare invited me to come party (not sure exactly what that would have entailed) -- and I was so tired that I just wanted to come home and be dead ( Read more... )

Here's the thing: I've had about exactly no time to check my flist for, say, the past two months. Ish. So I have NO CLUE what's going on with you lot and it is making me feel sad. :-( Uncool ( Read more... )

I would love to go to Aikido again one of these days. This is about to become a plausible option again, as I now own bungee cords. On the other hand, Kevin is swimming at Zones this weekend, which is at Mt Hood, which means I could OMG WATCH HIM ( Read more... )

I've got so much to do before Saturday's swim meet! D: I honestly don't know how I'm going to do it all. Oh well, I'll figure something out. I always do. But not, I think, before I go to bed tonight ( Read more... )

Ohgodsotired. Just letting y'all know I still exist. Been very busy doing pool-ish stuff and Aikido and whatnot. Left the house at ten 'til eight this morning and came home at quarter of eleven.

Already wrote tomorrow's workout since I am clever. Must type up. Got spiffing coaching polo shirt today, hooray! It says "Coach Ellen," how cool is

My vision is blurring and I am exhausted. Not in that order, haha. Just have to finish this workout. Did you know that there is NO SUCH THING as a fun drill for butterfly? I hate the butterfly, I really do ( Read more... )

It is really hard to teach butterfly arms, especially when you're trying to facilitate actual swimming for those who can already swim the whole stroke. I was about to change and get into the water when I realized I'd forgotten a towel. >.< I really need those new swimsuits, because the one I usually use (and have used for about five years now, ( Read more... )

My eyes look normal again, hooray!

Apparently these things have a practical use after all. Like not getting me killed. ::sheepish look:: Suffice to say that after an experience this morning in which I was a)about to be late and b)ALMOST KILLED, I will pay more attention to them. Promise ( Read more... )

Another exhausting day. I woke up 15 minutes late this morning and wound up leaving the house at half-past five, which is when I was supposed to be at Dishman. Whoops. The water exercise ladies made fun of my puffy eyes until 7:30, even though I was WIDE AWAKE and I told them it was just allergies. Chris took over the last hour and a half of my ( Read more... )

Operation Swim Team = success. So far! I was most pleased with this morning's workout. I guess I'll use this first week for finding out what they can do and what we need to work on. Today was a freestyle day. Tomorrow is backstroke. Wednesday will be breastroke; Thursday, butterfly. I haven't yet decided what to do on Friday. Kicking, maybe ( Read more... )
