Trying to cram life into 24 hours is exhausting. Heh.
Trying to walk on rest days = FAIL. Who knew that I'd actually prefer to run? Insanity, I tell you.
Bernie is still not 100%, so we will call the vet in the morning. Poor puppy; I think he had some bad food rather than bad rawhide - Andy said that Bernie was having tummy trouble before we gave him his bone. So, my fault. :(
Went to Dayton tonight to see Renee, Manda, Beckie and Matt, and to listen to Homeland (a Celtic-type pub band) play at Dub Pub. V. fun! Met a vegan, buddhist, meditation-practicing AF engineer, which was interesting. Forgot to pay my bill for dinner, though *forehead slap* before I went home.
There is nothing so terrifying than driving on I-71 at midnight - the sheer number of drunk drivers - I'd wager at least 60% of the cars on the road were being driven by intoxicated drivers. I just tried to look alive out there.
I have been a witness to three accidents since Wednesday...I feel like the CPD knows me by name when I call...I think I've given reports on 6 accidents this year alone! Be careful, people - I'm so attractive that people crash into each other when I'm near! LOL
Karen showed me these two pictures, mainly her before and after (but I think I'm about 10# lighter in the second one):
In Vegas, last July:
And, in NOLA, this past May:
Karen has lost ONE HUNDRED POUNDS! No surgery, either. She rocks.
I went wall climbing with Martie from work. Note to self: do not ride your bike to Vertical Adventures again. Those two miles home will seem like ten when your arms feel like ground beef! Martie is a really good climber, though, so hopefully she'll be willing to go with me again. She's also not attached to the notion of sticking too closely to the marked routes, so I didn't get yelled at today. :-P
Actually, several people at work have expressed an interest in it, which is pretty awesome. Who says library folks are milquetoasts?! AND, if any of YOU locals are interested...wall climbing is FUN! You don't have to be in great shape, you don't have to be a skilled climber (or else I wouldn't be able to do it).
You know you wanna!
Tomorrow, the gym (ugh, won't be getting much sleep), then we're going to see 1408. I love seeing horror flicks in the theatre, and I think this is the scariest thing Stephen King ever wrote. So we'll see how it translates to the screen. Then...maybe I can convince Andy to go to the driving range or something. Or I'll head down to Comfest. Hm.
Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!
