Sometimes, downtime is good

Work today was really good! I worked on some scripts that were actually fun to work on, for a change. Whee. I still think it's funny asking Jack to make sure I'm "speaking the proper Perl dialect".

After work I came home, and decided to pop in and see if Squid's pillage was going on in PP. It was. Afterwards I had the brilliant idea that perhaps what might make PP a little more interesting for me again would be to swap up my main main and my main alt. So now Janthina is... the Gunner of the Yo-ho Yoyos. Right back where I was two years ago. Go figure. :) I moved Jandora into the Fifth Fist because I still love Cioj and Serle and Dori and Friday (AND SINLAESHEL, HINT HINT) and everyone... but I wanted a change. Given how infrequently I *really* play these days, it might not affect anything anyway.

I went to the gym for an hour after that. Lifted weights, and ran on the treadmill for a while. I think I've figured out what some of my goals are gym-wise, so maybe one of these days I will actually schedule time with a trainer. I can't wait until Heidi's able to come work out again, maybe that'd inspire me to work out a schedule with Megan again as well. Yet, I have continually surprised myself these last few months by being motivated enough to go by myself and work out, really.

Unfortunately, I've basically been wasting the rest of the evening. I did crop more of my Minneapolis pictures, and read up on a bunch of web pages. I found out that the NW Chorale started rehearsing LAST Monday -- oops! I hope they'll take me in on the third week of the season if I show up next week... the fact that I sang Messiah with them two years ago should get me some slack. I'm really looking forward to singing with a real group again, and I can think of it as charity work (since we do our performances to raise money for Northwest Harvest).

Ah well. I guess I'll have to work on cleaning the apartment for real tomorrow and Thursday, or something.

I've been really proud of you for working out and sticking to it. Thats awesome.

I hope that once my schedule settles down i'll be able to figure something out where we overlap at the gym. Except, i think i'm going to try and take a swimming class at school on Tues. & Thurs, so it may be mondays and fridays for a while for me. Will let you know when i do.

I really think you should talk to a trainer. I think you'll get a lot more out of the gym if its geared towards what your particular needs are. Actually, when i was working with Eric recently i realized somethings that i think you'd benefit from, but, i dont' understand this new stuff well enough to teach you different exercises. I'm sorry. =(

Anyway, mostly, go you!!!

Well, i think its from Oct. 1 to sometime in nov. I haven't been able to sign up for it yet, though, and i don't even know that there will be room for me.

Next week i'm probably flexible, but i know your mom is in town. If you want to plan on any day other than WEd. i can probably make that happen, and i'll send email early in the week with what i'm planning to do.

I think we should make H come soon - i'm thinking about how we might be able to handle Matthew while she's there.
