I don’t think I’ve blogged about my kick-ass new neighbors yet (hi kick-ass new neighbors!), and I’m not sure I have the energy to do so today. I am sleeeeeeeeeepy.

I had a great weekend – the architect & I are making a patio in our backyard, so we worked hard on digging & lugging & hauling & being all strong & stuff. I bought a grill, so we grilled Friday evening & then again last evening.

I had my great trail race on Sunday.

Last night, our kick-ass new neighbors came over & we grilled up some corn & various meat products. We had rice & drinks. And then, once again, we had more drinks. And soon, it was the middle of the night! (for me, that’s any time after 11 on a school night.)

And so, I went home. Drank some water and went to bed. Which is exactly what I would like to do RIGHT NOW!

Tonight, I think there are going to be tacos. But probably not beer – at least not for me!

The good news is that I think everyone escaped last night without injury. No broken toes, no bruised tailbones….so we’re definitely making progress!

I hope everyone else had an equally kick-ass weekend!

Almost there!

After my strange post yesterday (who did I make cry? how? and other questions!), I am here to report that I will probably survive this week.

I did not have a martini last night. I did have a cheese sandwich & a beer, but considering how often stress can lead to weird eating patterns for me, I think I did pretty well.

Today is not as bad as yesterday. I am not fired for making people cry or anything. Not yet, anyways.

My only real issue today is that my new deodorant is not really performing its anti-perspirant function, and the deodorizing function seems to operate mainly by smelling like I bathed in baby powder. It’s a good thing it was only $0.99 (on sale AND a coupon – too bad I hate it).

I have not worked out since Wednesday – I’ve been so sore from my Tuesday night PT exercises. But – I still reached my 5 workouts/week goal, so I’m okay with that.

Tomorrow I will maybe yoga – my car’s battery is not so much dead as ‘something very bad that I didn’t quite understand when the architect told me except that he didn’t think that I would need a whole new battery but maybe I would & we’d have to take it to the weird shop down the street that only takes cash’ so I don’t know if I’ll be driving anywhere tomorrow.

Today some friends of ours are moving (in together), and the architect is helping them move. I am meeting them afterwork to help them drink (I am such a giver).

I am so glad that there are 6ish hours left in the last week of this crazy time. I only have 4ish big projects in March & April, so I’ll have to catch up on other work & prepare for the next big push that is May/June.

Did I mention that next week I am vacationing? Also, it is my birthday.

Did I mention that this makes me happy?
