bleh.

Here is a little island from last month, made by a 4 year old. Isn't it lovely?

Didn't do crap yesterday. Didn't even go in to work - worked from home.

I did go to work today, though, and rented a car to do laundry. Plus, 6 pushups just now so I'd have something to blog about.

Tonight was also an informational meeting about one of the 3 possible triathlon groups I might join for my training; I'm sorta looking forward to that starting.

(Though it's probably the least likely group I'll join, because it's the one where you have to raise $ - ask your friends for 2000 dollars instead of just paying 300 dollars yourself - to have the privilege of working your ass off for 12 weeks...)

I made a doctor's appt. for Friday because of my weird head/eye incident Saturday.

Anyway, bleh.

Continuing Education

I watched Pedro Almodovar's Bad Education last night and, while it was better than most cinema out there, it wasn't my favorite of his films. That said, it's always fun to see the art direction, costuming, melodrama, and cinematic choices Almodovar makes. Plus, his actors are always great, and usually hot.

OK: I teach 5 classes a week, I currently take 5 classes a week, and I manage 150 classes a week. I just signed up Lois, my dog, and I to take yet another class starting next week (Pet Dog Training 201 at the Anti-Cruelty Society), which will make it 6 classes a week, and I also want to learn tennis this summer, which might break the bank at 7 classes. I'm also still hoping to finish my darn Bachelor's degree — in order to be able to go to grad school someday — which is going to be more classes, ad nauseum.

Part of me is all for this. It's essential to contine to learn. And god knows I need all kinds of improvements — clearly the world thinks this, too, because I don't exactly have men clamoring for my attention, or a family, or a home, or a fancy (or really even decent) job, or lots of people wanting to hang out with me.

The other part of me, though, sorta quietly whispers every once in a while, 'Can I stop now?' Someday, I just want to read fiction and comic books and watch movies and paint and draw and ride my bike around and make food and listen to music and kiss a guy I like. And not learn a thing, unless by accident...

Stop the sadness!

I can't get back to normal!!, though I am trying my darndest, I swear to god.


Above is a picture of this weekend's dance recital - the Mexican Folkloric class; all the kids were awesome. And below is the snack table I set up. Do you like the colored "juices?" Blue was the most popular, then apple, then red.


Lois and I took a long walk this morning, and I went swimming before work, and I did Cardio Pilates for an hour (two "laps" of lunges, ouch!) at lunch, and I'm gonna do Ballet at 6. And I have a date at a dive bar with new guy tomorrow. But still I feel so crappy! Why?!
