5 pm run. 25 degrees with the windchill.

I'm feeling some back muscle tiredness from yesterday and I love it! Makes me feel like I actually did something.

I had a huge headache and still do after work/school today. So I came home and had a bagel and went to the computer store to get advice about the puter (won't get the part in until fridayish)

So then I finally ran even though my head hurt. Run was going good until I started getting pain. But on ravelry I remembered a few sayings that some of the girls had said in their heads so I said it. "Oh hell pain, can you call back later after my run is done? Thanks, I'm sorta busy." Or something like that. the IT band was not as bad as it has been. and it didn't hurt the entire time. I did get a shooting pain in my foot that made me skip and yelp but I kept on running. I am now rolling it out with my foot roller thingy.

Well school is super busy...I am finding I have less and less down time which I do not like. There is alwasy something to do. I'm really trying to orchestrate my schedule-homework, house cleaning, laundry, dinner, running, dogs, boyfriend (not in order of importance) and free time? time to just say blah...Haven't figured that out. This week I'm doing a load or two of laundry a day and hoping that helps. Then by the weekend all I have to do is clean the house.

Well that being said I must get to papers and lessons!

Sounds busy! Good job getting the run done anyway. Congratulations on your positive evaluation yesterday; that is great news. I am glad it is going so well for you.

As soon as you get your schedule down pat, something will throw a wrench in it. I say stress less. If the house isn't perfectly clean, who cares?

I personally don't care about a messy house. We're all too busy. Sometimes I wish I could just run, sleep, and eat, and maybe read.

Good job getting out to run and telling the pain where to go.

Believe me..my perfectionism about the house has gotten less and less. We have three dogs so I have to make it apoint to vaccume. If I start seeing floating hair balls I go a little nutty. I don't dust and I don't even really clean floors. If there is a sticky area I will clean it but if not then it is good enough.

And the bathroom must get cleaned atleast once a week. I'm so glad we only have one at this point. and I'm really steering the SO clear of any new homes (we are looking for a new house) that have more than 2 or 21/2 bathrooms. He doesn't clean them so that is where I put my foot down! LOL
