so i had to run the song of the day contest tonight. it was the first time i had to do it in my shift. it was a little bit stressful. i was worried i wouldn't have any callers this late in the evening... but i had a bunch. so thats good. and it is over. that is also good.
i have a massive headache. i have had it all day. it really sucks. i have already taken 4 advil. and i have been drinking water all day... nothing seems to help. so i am just dealing with it until i can go home and go to bed to sleep it away. sometimes that is the only thing that helps.
today was my day off from the gym (and i think i will not be going on sunday either). i went on wednesday and thursday though. wednesday with my friend mikha, which was awesome. i used to work with her at the fare, and we had conversations about the anxiety that going the gym caused me. she had the same thing, but she got a pass months ago and had been going. she said it wasn't so bad. so we planned to go together, and she showed me what she usually does. and it was actually really nice to hang out and chat, seeing as how we haven't really done a lot of that since i stopped working at the fare in december. we have a lot of similar interests. and mikha has interesting thoughts on things. she helped me feel really comfortable. she went camping this weekend, and left thursday right after work, so i went solo yesterday. it was a little scary at first, but i just did all the same things that we had done the day before, and went a little longer too. it was good. i brought my ipod and just listened to music. it good to feel so super sweaty after and know that you worked really hard. and it is nice to be active, and i find i feel much less sluggish for the rest of my day. i kind of just wanted to get on my bike and ride for the rest of the night. haha.
roller derby has been going really well too. erin is apparently going to be moving up to the more talented group by july, haha. kind of bums me out. i want to be better and move up. but i just started. she has been going for a few months now. but i will get there. there is a bout tomorrow night, and another one the following week. tomorrow is against the missfits of mayhem from alberta. haha. it should be fun. i get to sell 50/50. not super pumped on that, but whatever. have to do my part and help out! the following game is in kelowna, so we don't have to help out. i just get to go for free! yay! tyler and trystan are going to the game tomorrow night together. and i only have to do 50/50 till they do the draw... and then i get to watch for the rest. i think that is at the halftime? whatever.
i am hoping that going to the gym will help me in roller derby. make me stronger. build up my endurance. i did 21 laps in 5 minutes - you have to be able to do 25. but 21 is pretty good. only 4 laps away. and that was only at my 4th practice. i just keep getting better!!
it seems that's all i ever talk about.. but i'm not sure what else there is to really talk about? we have been doing yard work at my mom's house. both tyler and i were a little bummed to see how little support and help we got from our friends. brady, suzanne, and matt (briefly) helped us out last weekend. we got a lot of weeding done. and brady and tyler finished the second set of stairs on the porch, and redid the railing (we got rid of the ugly stuff, and put new stuff up). we have to colour match the paint and repaint the porch. and also find out what we are going to do the flooring for it. my mom and i have been going to the farmers market and collecting flowers to plant in the flower beds we cleared out. we got a bunch of irises. i am really excited for when they bloom next year. it will be soooo pretty. suzanne talked to a woman she works with and she is going to give us a bunch of lilies and irises after they bloom this year for FREE, which is the best part. we're having another work day on sunday this weekend. i kind of don't think anyone will come, but... tyler and i will be there! haha. not too sure what the project of the day will be, but there will be something. there is still a ton of weeding to do. or maybe we will try and get the paint jobs done. and the chicken coop painted. we still need to acquire a large quantity of brick and paving stones for the yard... but that can be done at a later date.
... i think thats all i have going on.

yay, I'm glad you're enjoying the gym. I really liked going way back when...I still wish I could go.
ReplyDelete25 laps in 5 minutes sounds like a LOT...you must be getting in pretty good shape!
If you guys were closer I'd pawn off my miniature roses and calla lillies for the yard, but as it is they're still languishing away on my balcony. I might even have to throw them away.
good job on the radio contest, that's pretty cool. Yeah, I agree with Bethany, what with the roller derby AND the gym...it sounds like a pretty killer combo! Nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised that your friends aren't all jumping in to help with the yard work. It's always a little harder to get people excited about other people's projects unfortunately. It sounds like it's going to be really nice though! It's getting me all inspired to do similar projects of my own.
