More days of the halfway between...

I hate the feeling that you have something. I have not been full out sick, but I have a bit of a scratchy throat and a stuffed up nose. I'm planning on taking tomorrow super easy (like hiding in my bed all day except when Jenny goes to the Vet), I just have to make it one more day! I guess it is because my body is worn down from before my vacation week and last week? That is just a guess though.

So looks like the dancing plans are on hold. We may go out to the pub tonight instead. EK had to take a last minute trip back to Ottawa, and burger only dances once a year, so we are going to wait until EK is back.

In other news, last nights clinic was again a sleeper. We did however run about 5.5 km in 30 minutes, which is a blistering pace for me. I'm impressed with myself :) I want to do another 5K race sometime and really race it to see what I am capable of.

Hack Hack... I'm sick...

Well, not too bad, but worse than yesterday I'd say. bad enough for me to stay at home this morning and skip my spinning class. With running last night and tonight, it was a little more than my body needs right now, so I stayed in bed and snoozed for an hour and cuddled my kitty.

So I'm staying at home this morning. With my paper and tutorial finally finished I need to work hardcore on getting caught up on my school work. So I'm working from home this morning, likely starting in a few minutes.

Also, EK and I decided that we wanted to go dancing on friday (yay!) so we sent out a mass e-mail to everyone in town trying to recruit people to come with us. So far we have Burger, Burger's BF, MK, VK, and KM aka #294 aka the boy that I had a crush on in the fall... So I haven't seen him since late november/early december, and am not sure what to think... I guess I'll figure it out on friday???

Just saw a preview for Episode 3 on Canada AM. I'm not a huge Star wars fan, but it looks like it will be good... anyone want to go with me when it comes out?

Halfway between sick and okay...

And it isn't fun. My body is telling me to take it easy but I'm still eating normally, so that is NOT good (actually, I'm probably eating more than normal thanks to my friend flo. Grrrrrr.

Last night I played on my computer and internet. I love having my internet back!!! and then stayed up for the amazing race. I was asleep by 10:30 and slept in till 7 this morning. 8.5 hours... about 1 hour more than I normally need.

Now I am in at school trying to finish up this tutorial. When I get done, I think I'm going to head home. I'll have a quick nap then start to get caught up in all the course work I have been neglecting lately - I figure that if I work hard for the next month, I might (key word might) be caught up. More likely not though. Oh, yeah, I also told MK, the civ grad student, that I would go to the CWRA networking thing with her tonight. I'm not sure that I have the energy or drive to go anymore. I guess I'll have to wait and see how I am feeling after my run with EK this afternoon.

D & GD on their way home...

Busy couple of days.

Yesterday we went to the chinese market and over to burger's house to play with the guinea pigs(they are soooooo cute!!! Especially Saffy!). we were going to have chicken alfredo for dinner, but the sauce had gone bad... last minute emergency replacement, had to make something from scratch. EK had the crazy plates cookbook which has the low-fat recipe for something similar. It didn't take too long to make either. didn't taste quite as good, but was still pretty yummy. After M went to bed, D and I worked on the wedding invitations for this summer. by 11:30 they weren't done, and I was exhausted so I called it quits for the night. they didn't take too much time to finish up this morning.

This morning we went to the St. J's outlet mall. It was okay, I ended up buying new running pants (my ones for -5 to +5 C wore out so I needed a new pair), a sports bra (also need), and a pair of dress pants (regularly $160!!!!! I still paid a lot though at $90), but I need a pair for conferences and professional things like that. (plus they look hot with my new steve maddens :))

So I'm back at school this afternoon, trying to get this tutorial done. I have no ambition to work on it though. oh well!

Busy Weekend...

I was at school again till 6:00 on Friday, I really need to do something about this not having a life business. Finally got my paper sent to my supervisor for final revisions. I needed to go grocery shopping and whatnot so I rented X2 when I was out... I saw the first movie at Kel's last weekend. the second one was good as well, I think it had a bit better and more fluid of a plot line than the first.

Saturday was crazy busy, I woke up cleaned my apartment and did errands until noon, went running with EK, (long run - 11K) and went home to drop off the car. we had dinner at a family friends. Morning was up and to the gym, home to shower and back to the loo. Exciting eh?

Now my friend D and her darling daughter (my darling god daughter) are up here for a few days. I came to school for the morning to get some work done on my tutorial and submit my paper (yay!). There was a fire this morning in CPH so it is closed, but the rest of engineering opened up sometime between 8 and 9. http://www.bulletin.uwaterloo.ca/

Was at school until 6 last night...

And was here again by 8 am. I need a life. enough said.

Hum-dee-dum

Nothing new really... went to the gym yesterday to work out with trainer, and she absolutely killed me, my legs felt like jelly afterwards, and now, they hurt a lot :(. Worked on my tutorial last night and finally did my laundry so I actually have clean clothes to wear :O shocking, I know.

Hmmm, nothing else new really I gues... I just wanted to clarify something on the guy my sister wants to set me up with... you are all probably thinking "laura always complains about being single, why doesn't she just say yes?". So normally, I would agree with you, but this is different. I've known this guy for 12 years, and have never once had the slightest attraction to him, I think if it was going to happen, it would have been a long time ago (long before he started going bald). Plus, here are the reasons my sister told me of why she thought we would make a good couple (seriously, she has no clue) " you are both smart and nerdy, and you like me"??? what??? Okay, rant over.

Tired...

So the next few days are going to be hell on earth. I have to get my paper finished and find time to prepare a tutorial on how to use EPANET. I don't know where I am going to find the time to do it all!!!

Last night I got home at 4:25 was out the door to run with EK by 4:40, back at 5:40, showered, and ate, and dressed by 6:40, ran a few errands, picked up burger by 7:15. And then I was able to semi-relax for a bit (except in the back of my mind I was worrying about everything I have to get done), and got to bed around 11:00. I was pretty tired, so I fell asleep almost right away and then my dad calls at 11:30 (what??? I think he forgot that they were 3 hours behind) and woke me up. I had a lot of trouble falling asleep again after that >:(. I woke up at 6:00, but it was too cold, and I was way too tired to get up, so I just called EK and told her that the run was a no go for me, and headed back to bed for an hour.

So that brings me to now, I have to totally re-write sections of my paper and have it to my supervisor by 3:30 (when I'm leaving today) so that he can proof read it tonight (when I'm working on my tutorial). ACK! Okay, have to get cracking!

Millar - my ex-favorite cyclist...

His ban is now two years from when he ceased riding, which means that he will technically be able to ride in the 2006 tour, but may be unlikely. Meh. Don't know what to think. I want him to do well, but I think I still feel a little betrayed. That, and I think that most of the peleton dopes, so really, was he just a scape goat???

I lead such an exciting life...

yesterday I went home and had a nap. I slept till 5, and then made my dinner. I think marked from 6-9 and from 9:45-11:15. I woke up at 7 am and marked some more. Thrilling I know...

There was something semi-exciting that I wanted to post, but I can't remember what it was...

Oh yeah, and something I forgot from last week. On Tuesday I got this weird e-mail from one of my sister's friends from highschool... completely out of the blue. Seems my sister is trying to set me up with him (KB, she confirmed this, no longer just speculation). I'm totally not interested, but I don't know how to tell her (or him for that matter)... and I haven't replied yet either... my home internet is down again and the e-mail is saved in my outlook...
