Worked all day Saturday, and late, as I was a total fuckup and went out Friday night. I didn't really drink any more than usual, but I passed out in my chair at home, woke up around 5:30a, and went to bed. I didn't get to work the next day until 11:30a, and so had to work late (got out around 7:00p). Got absolutely nothing done Sat. evening - sat home & watched a movie, went to bed around midnight. Got up fairly early Sunday (9:15a) got some breakfast, checked email & such, and started working on the yard around 11:00a.
The grass/weeds/etc were up to my waist! I had to cut everything, my entire yard, with the weed trimmer. I took one break for lunch around 1:30p, and didn't finish up until 3:30p. Four damn hours of walking, and swining a trimmer back & forth, clearing half an acre one 3-foot path at a time. The cute/annoying thing about the day was that I kept getting screamed at by several bird-parents, because apparently, yesterday was "kick your kids out' the nest" day, and they were terrified that I was going to hurt them. I "rescued" 2 fledgelings, but I felt really bad about it. I would see them hopping through the tall grass as I was trimming, and I'd shut of the trimmer & go pick them up & take them to another part of the yard where I wasn't going to be working. The part that made me feel bad, was that they got so scared they'd start to "scream", and the parents would dive-bomb me! They never actually hit me or anything, but I felt horrible, scaring them like that. I talked to them all day long, telling them they didn't need to worry, that I'd watch out for their young'uns & move them when I had to - they just wouldn't listen! What's funnier still, is that they were still mad at me this morning when I went to leave for work. I learned their "I'm upset with you" calls/songs yesterday, and today, they were singing the same tune! Poor, stupid birds!
Got my cycle back from the shop this weekend, and the new exhaust sounds great! A bit louder than before, but a deeper note. Not sure if I want to take the baffles out & make it totally obnoxious or not! It was a beautiful day here yesterday, and while I was out riding, I had the strongest desire for company I've had in a long time - nothing overtly sexual, nothing about having a g/f, just the wistful longing to have a riding companion for the day. It's little things like that, that really get to me now and again. Oh, well - such is life...
Lifting suxxorz - haven't done it since Wednesday, because of the personal idiocy described in the first paragraph... Back to it tonight, and hopefully, I haven't lost any strength. It's going to be pretty hard, but I'm mostly looking forward to it. I haven't run yet either, so I'm going to try to go tonight after my workout. Will probably just start out with a mile again, then get back up to 3 within the next week or so - 5k is on the 26th, I think, so I need to be back to it by then. I'm nervous; I've never run an official race before, and even though I know I'm not going to really be competeing for anything (since I suck at it, time-wise) I'm nervous about being around all those experienced people. I also had a thought - I wonder if it's going to be a cross-country kind of thing!? It's being held at a local zoo/wildlife preserve, and that thought didn't occur to me until a week ago! I hope not, because I'll probably suck even worse at off-road running!
Gotta make like a tree & split! (wait... what?)
l8r!
