Last minute Friday Update

[angelak]

Time to update. Things feel a little less strained with me and the fella.
It's like things are slowly falling into place. We're getting a little less high strung about many little things. I've been working out as much as I can manage, but this isn't quite as often as usual.

Yesterday was fantastic. The day before that I took off, and the prior day to that I started my workout and got mostly halfway done. I think I did my CT? I can't remember, but I know that I get REALLY bored on the treadmill too many consecutive times. I'm not meant to run inside, in place.

I almost quit (and I NEVER QUIT once I start) for a second time. Then I started walking towards the showers when I found myself heading out the doors of the gym to the outdoors. And then I started running away from the gym, even if it was cold and I was only in shorts and a tank. And suddenly all my motivation flooded me – and I kept running until I hit my old route. And it felt so good. I couldn't stop grinning and I suddenly found I better take a walk break for the tendons (ugh I hate it) but I know when to let the tendons bounce back for 1-3 minutes in the middle of runs. So then after that I ran back and then was happy because it's not that I suddenly suck at running. It's that in the last 2-3 weeks I have become quickly bored of the treadmill. The last 2 times I desperately wanted to go outside. Well I decided to put up with the temperature and I was so distracted from the sheer enjoyment of not being inside that I did not even notice freezing my ass off!!!!!

So that went well.

And then in the last week I have been FINALLY clearing out the temple space to make sure it does not remain a crap room. Been trying to organize everything and keep the actual room clean, get things placed. I am VERY happy with how it is turning out. It is a place I can have clean and focused and spiral. And the altar is set up once again and soon I will dedicate my temple. But I think I need to find a couple more things. I have ideas!!!!

And to my pleasure, Nobody approves ;)

Man, I'm just so ready for the weekend. This has been a long, busy busy week!!!!!!
Tons of requests and lots of running around for me. Good mostly – bad in the sense I was really needing some down time mid week and didn't get it until like. Now.

None the less, I have some good plans this weekend.
Hopefully I can make it to OLOTEAS, but I am having my parents over on Saturday – to do house projects and get some furniture that they are letting me inherit. They're moving into a smaller place, so we get a headboard for the bed that has shelves on it, and a TV. They are clearing out the last bits at their old apartment.

I am looking forward to the headboard for the bed. The girls are “kidnapping” me Sunday. I might work 4 hours on Monday. Then again I might take 4 hrs leave, work Tuesday/Weds, and I have holiday pay on Thurs/Friday. And tonight? I am wholly confused as to what I should do for the evening. It is tempting to drive out and kidnap Charlie.

I didn't update the LJ friends.

So the story is, my mom's dog had puppies. (Truffles and Frankie, who were from separate litters, 2 weeks apart in age). Black and tan Dachshunds. They wanted 1 litter of puppies from them before they get the 2 fixed. So, they had puppies (5, 4 girls and 1 boy).

I was telling her after the babies were born, that I didn't want a puppy when Rufus dies (Rufus is my 12, going on 13 year old Dachshund.) She then concocted this idea of raising a puppy for me and then I could have one that was (as my wish is, trained and house broken, which is why I never wanted a puppy again, especially seeing as mine are already housebroken.)

So I got on board with this. I'm not sure why. I think it was because she made it sound THAT good. And it really is a great plan... if it works out as planned. I don't want my brand new carpets ruined by a puppy, which was the biggest reason I REALLY didn't want a puppy.

None the less!!! I decided on a little girl at the suggestion of my mom. Because I have 2 male Dachshunds (Rufus and Fritz) at home. Early on, I was a bit more attracted to the little boy, but my mom suggested one of the more laid back girls. Now, I like my Dachshunds a little smaller. But Rufus, the originator – the first Dachshund in our family, has always been a big boy. Everyone always called him fat (although these days he is trim, just larger than the average mini) – so when Luna, the dog I intended to keep – was bigger and less clingy than what I like (an independent dog) ... I switched. To a dog that is now being christened “Charlie.”

He is the smallest of the litter, and the prettiest one too :P I tend to have this issue. I like the pretty dogs. Fritz has always been a prettier dog than many others (no, I am NOT saying this just because he is my baby.) lol.

So, we're going to eventually have 1 more boy dog. Charlie. And I am contemplating kidnapping him. I don't know what to do on a Friday night though. I have no plans, and I am slightly house-poor. Which is awesome. I didn't do much anyways before. Now I have yet one more reason not to blow my paychecks on stupid shit. But as for excitement? What to do!?!?!
There are many options, regardless. I could clean house. I could drive to the parents and blow gas. The list goes on and on.

I could search for those things I am looking for. They're little inserts to wall handle holders... nm too hard to describe. I should leave the office.


And for those interested in my temple space, this is my photo stream with some images of the work in progress:

I am planning on sheers only for the windows, like the not-solid ones on the right side of the window. I have 2 more panels coming in the mail early next week. And that is my new curlup chair for reading for just ritual purposes or whatever.
