day 3 of the health related fitness program, and i’m wondering if becca will ever make it on time, or if i should just get used to seeing her rumble in 5-10 minutes late. 😉 after the hellish thunderstorm of last night, the weather this morning was absolutely lovely–clear and cool. i did 2 miles on the short track, a combination of walking and running because i didn’t want to get really sweaty. why? because i had to be at the clinic at 7:45 for my physical and i wouldn’t have time to take a shower between working out and going there.
now, when the jsc clinic does a physical they really do a physical. we’re talking hearing test, eye test, some sort of lung capacity thing, chest x-ray, ekg, tb test, blood work, and–ah yes–urine sample. no one told me i’d have to pee in a cup, and being oblivious as i sometimes am, i didn’t think about it. so i got up this morning and went to the bathroom as i always do, only to arrive at the clinic with absolutely no desire to pee. i must have gulped a gallon of water trying to make myself pee. it worked, finally, of course, only i drank so much water that now all morning i’ve been having to go to the bathroom. amusing.
i know you cared.
anyhoo, i’m quite glad that it’s friday. i’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend, after being on the go pretty much non-stop for the past month. i haven’t had a free weekend to myself since mid-august, “free” indicating time by myself to do errands, clean up around my apartment, organize stuff, cook good food, and of course, veg out with stupid magazines and tv shows. it’ll be nice. my only plans are a 5k on the taxiway at intercontinental airport tomorrow morning, and a bridal shower tomorrow afternoon. i have no plans for either weekend night, and i think i like it that way.
…though seeing a movie tonight sounds quite appealing, so maybe i’ll see if someone wants to go. i currently want to see: four feathers, ecks vs. sever, big fat greek wedding, and one hour photo. it’s been a few weeks since i hit the theater.
