I realized about a week ago that I have no vacations on the calendar until July 4. (With the possible exception of the half marathon in Austin, but is running 13.1 miles really a vacation?) Anyway, this is bad. I am going to need to get out of this town sometime before then. There is the Ron and Buzz Elvis-Chapel-in-Vegas plan for the weekend of my birthday–or, more accurately, the weekend before their first anniversary–but it’s also the weekend before our 5k, and I’m afraid I may need to be here taking care of last minute race details. I should plan a camping trip or something, for spring when the weather’s still nice.
I’m still feeling out of it today. I haven’t been sleeping enough lately, or I haven’t been eating right, or something. I don’t know. Last night I had this weird heart palpitation thing, and my eye has been twitching for the past few days. George says I’ve been exercising too much, but I didn’t do anything for the entire week between the half marathon and last Sunday, so I don’t think that’s it. It’s all very weird, though it didn’t stop me from going climbing last night with Betsy. We enjoyed our ladies night at the rock gym, which was practically empty. We had our pick of any route at any time. We each did 5 routes, and my forearms were really feeling it. I will probably be sore tonight. But sore in a good way!
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the best way to paint my apartment (meaning, which walls to paint) and can’t figure it out. It’s hard to picture without actually starting. I have heard many different opinions though. George says Home Depot has some sort of program that will let you virtually paint your house. Sounds cool.
