right in the middle of my hell week. i'm truckin through it... hopefully i'll make it. i am also on day 3 in a row of the gym in the morning. so far that is going quite well. i committed to going in the morning around 7 every day. this morning i went a bit late... (like almost 9) but i had time to do that. haha. so i reasoned it was okay!! tomorrow will be the tough one to do. i have to go between 6:30 and 7 to have enough time. after that, come home and shower quickly and get ready for the PARADE! so excited. i am in the parade with the roller derby team. erin and i are going together. she is going to put my outdoor wheels on my skates (yes, i still haven't done that - i have had them for almost 2 weeks! i'm a slacker... or just really busy). i just hope i don't eat it and make a fool of myself in front of everyone watching the parade. that would be REALLY embarrassing.
i have done 3 of 5 shifts for the ipe. it isn't so bad. i'm always late because rob is always late bringing me the vehicle... out of my control. but other than that, it hasn't been too bad. the first day was a little catastrophic, and i was 40 minutes late getting out there because literally EVERYTHING went wrong on my way out there - like down to the vehicle being out of gas, and me having to use my own money to fill it up (i got reimbursed). i work the night shift tomorrow, after all the parade excitement. and then just a 3 hour stint on sunday (directly after my sunday morning shift) and then the ipe is over. i don't even actually get a chance to go out there and just hang out and check it out. kind of bummed about that. but what can ya do? nothing.
everyone around the office kept talking about how excited they were for the long weekend, and all wished me a happy long weekend as they left... but... long weekend just means that i do two very early mornings back to back. not really relaxing for me. i'm the one who gets stuck with the shifts while you are all at home kicking back and having a good time! sheesh. don't rub it in...
tyler and i have decided that we are going to have a date night once a week where we will take turns planning something for the other person. i think it will be good for us to do that. especially with our strict budgeting, we hardly ever go out and do anything fun... and it takes a toll. sometimes i feel like the only time we spend together is in front of the tv. we don't do anything together other than watch shows and movies. it gets a bit boring sometimes. so tonight i planned our activity... we're going on a bike ride to one of my favourite spots to sit and hang out. should be nice... and calming, after the week i have had. my legs hurt a bit from 3 days in a row at the gym... but... i shall suck it up. it isn't too tough of a bike ride anyway. i'm really excited to do this. tyler is excited about it too, which is nice to see.
annnnd... i have to make my cd for the derby parade music tonight. i am a little nervous about it. i hope no one hates it. i hope my idea of what music goes with derby is what other people think too. i'm the music expert... this should be no problem... right?

right--no problem! I'm sure you'll pick the perfect music.
ReplyDeleteThe date night's a good idea (and I like the activity you came up with, I may steal it). Ben and I try to go every week but don't seem to be able to.
good luck with the rest of your crazy week, hopw it goes by fast and you get lots of rest afterwards!
I know what you mean. Some times I think the only time Kyle and I spend together is in front of the tv too. There needs to be more interaction!!! I hate working when everyone else is off. I guess by now your week is pretty much done!
ReplyDeletewhat an insane-sounding week. I loooved your date night idea, and it in fact inspired me and shawn to start a date night too! It's a fun idea, because we too tend towards sitting in front of the TV...
