Last night, after that sugary dessert (it was dried papaya and chocolate, yum yum yum), I was all sugared up. I used the sugar rush to do my laundry and clean my apartment. Garbage out. Recycles sorted and taken out. Vacuuming, dusting, organizing. I guess when you don’t want to write a paper or two, you can get a lot done…
I had a decent sleep but 5am came too soon this morning!
Master’s swim was good though. I went up a lane so it went fast cuz I didn’t have too much time to think. Not such a bad thing! Afterwards I swam a few extra laps to work on my flip turns so I did around 2800m (lots of it was with fins).
I had a good morning catching up with friends over coffee. I love my tri girls.
Now for the AWKWARD part. Nina had seen the dummy who drove up the hill in the Jeep on Monday and she saw him walk into the library this morning while we were hanging out. I obvs had to go take a look at him. Beach bum, varsity athlete, nonchalant. That was fine. Then he comes over to the spot where we were sitting to get a coffee and starts telling the women at the checkout that he got into “some trouble” — meanwhile we’re like staring him down and the women working are realizing what’s up because I was in the library when the police called and I got so upset. So needless to say, it got awkward. He did say sorry, but he was also laughing and joking around about his car being towed and him having to pay 500 dollars to replace the grass.
What are the chances?!
Anyways, Chelsea came to Weldon so I went into the cubicles with her and did some work! Now I’m going to go run a few errands/have my dietitian appointment and then it’s home to my clean apartment where I hope I can focus on the paper I need to get done. There’s lots of fun this weekend (a baby shower, a nutrition symposium, a dance show), but I don’t think I’m going to be able to do it all and come out with a smile/a decent paper. I’m going to try my hardest.
This evening I’d like to do yoga OR go shopping with some girls. Either one’s a kind of stress relief…so I’m just going to play it by year. It’s another gorgeous day here but it looks like things are taking a turn for more seasonal soon (though I see some warmer stuff too!). Maybe that plus my super clean apartment will mean I’ll be more ready to do some work this weekend?
What are your plans for the weekend?
When do you find yourself most likely to clean? Good weather? Bad weather? Other things you should be doing?
Do you find shopping relaxing?



I clean when I’m bored or to keep myself busy…sometimes when I’m anxious or restless as well, but I do really like to do it haha!
DANCE SHOW DANCE SHOW DANCE SHOW!!!!!
I am thrilled that you’re coming!!!!!! Preeeetty pretty please make my dance show a priority!
Cheryl, I need to thank you for blogging about Dr. Lemon’s Nutrition Symposium!! I’m visiting Western this weekend and added that to my agenda after reading your blog! I went a couple of years ago and didn’t know it was happening again this year. It made me so happy!
And I’m also going to the Dance Force show. I’ll prob see you this weekend at one of those events!
YAY! I HOPE SO! Today was ridiculously unproductive… but awesome.
LOL I can’t believe you ran into angry jeep boy!! He was LAUGHING about paying all that $$ to replace the grass? Either he’s loaded or was really embarrassed and needed to put on the “I’m cool” front hahaha. Also….what does swimming with fins do? my mom bought me some but I’m not sure what their purpose is lol…
Good call about the dummy in the jeep–I didn’t even consider that he might be embarrassed. bah a. lame.
The fins make you go fast! hence my jump in metre-age
have fun with em!
