out of sorts

Ted and Shaun have gotten their weekends aligned, so now weekends at my house are Thursday and Friday, which is better than the Tuesday-Friday weekends that I was experiencing with them being on different schedules. However, it meant I stayed up much too late last night and slept in too late this morning and don’t want to do anything of consequence today. Add to that the fact that my parents got burgled last night and I’m definitely out of sorts. :P We went to see War of the Worlds last…

oops

Oops. I should be working again by now, but I’m going to make a post anyway. :) Just got back from swimming, and for some reason, about 1350 yards into the workout, I suddenly decided I needed to start *kicking*, for Christ’s sake.

bother, said pooh.

I think I’m going to have to start weight lifting to really take more weight off. I could, in theory, weight lift on the 4 days a week when I don’t swim. I have the equipment in my garage. And I _like_ weight lifting. And I work at home. It’s not like I can’t find the time. Actually *doing it*, however… I don’t know why I have a problem with actually doing it. (Because it’s *work*, she whined. Because it’s *hot* in the garage. Because because because because because.) It’s…
