my job seems to be one of those “when it rains, it pours” type of things. the past month has been crazy busy. we’re still dealing with the fallout from the degrees vs. radians tizzy, and then today i had a class most of the day. the spaceflight meteorology group’s weather class.
counterintuitively (ooh, big word), they don’t predict space weather. but they do predict any and all ground weather that could affect spaceflight. there were some dull parts, and i was tired, but on the whole it was pretty interesting.
yesterday i ran with buzz, and i have to say, it is tough to stay positive about these long runs. our first week was so great, and i felt so good, but then the past two weeks i’ve felt horrible. i am really hoping that it’s just the weather. the first week we ran it was lovely and cool and not humid, but the past two weeks have been sunny and very humid. it’s amazing how much worse i run in the heat/humidity. today it’s 84 degrees outside, which is only a degree away from a new record. i had to turn my air conditioning on yesterday because it was so humid that i was sweating inside my apartment. it’s freaking november! houston sucks.
anyway, after our run i had lunch with nick and then got my car washed. it is all shiny and clean and lovely, so hooray. i went home and did two home improvement projects (these in addition to the two bulbs i planted over the weekend). i finally hung the candle-holder-thingy i got in greece, and also finally got around to filling a 20″x20″ picture frame. it has openings for 16 pictures, but with my shutter-happy finger, i actually had trouble narrowing all my pictures down to 16 for the frame. but it turned out great, and now my bedroom has something new on the wall. perfect.
