angelakDay one back at the office after my nice vacation.
It hasn't been so bad. Been trucking around getting work over with and planning and scheming for making the rest of this year tolerable.
:P
I still have enough vacation hours left so between now and the end of year I should have an opportunity to take a smaller sum off. Maybe me and Jim can do something fun in late summer, or else do a holiday winter get away – who knows.
I am thinking positively about it – so I can keep my refreshment here at the office. I was getting REALLY. Burnt. Out. Before I left. So far so good.
First team meeting since I've been gone happens in 15 minutes.
Suffice to say, I got mad when I accidentally gained the 6 lbs I'd lost on vacation.
I have a new plan.
And I think part of it has to do with LESS yoga, more variant stuff. No, I'm not quitting the yoga. I'm just switching to CT and running has been going ok for me. I'd also like to do some modest walking – but walking and running do the same things to my knees, REALLY. I swear.
So, to be honest I'd rather spend that time running than walking.
Things HAVE improved in the last 2 weeks. I overdid it yesterday and am not paying as much of a toll today. I went for a walk with Jonnie and the dogs (Fritz and his girl, Holly) in Redmond. Afterwards we caught a cup of tea/coffee at Peet's in Redmond and caught up. It's been a good 16 months since we talked.
We do this.
On again off again sort of thing. Friendship and relationship has sort of an interesting on and off aspect to it.
Jonnie: a childhood friend who I also dated off and on for about... hm, 6 years?
We've always been friends.
Also discussed my last attempt at dating him and what happened between us better. Wow, can we say communication barrier? Thing is... (I was ready to pursue Jon serious, LTRwise 3 years ago, after years of casual and childhood dating)
THING IS, digression : I would never have met and gotten with Jim. So... things definitely turned out if you ask me. Not that I still don't adore Jonnie.
He had no idea I'd had a knee condition. Annnnd? He has one too now. Different between he and I? I only gained 1/3 of my initial weight loss (which is still lower than my adolescent weight) and he gained 2/3s of his weight back.
:(
Different knee injuries, but it felt nice to talk fitness with someone who faces the same horrendous challenge: Cardio is a bitch when you assrape the knees.
I walked away with a few extra ideas about ways to amp up my arms, and it felt nice to be caught up.
I hope we stay in touch more!
Anyways. 7 minutes and counting. I better get a big old cup of water. That's how I usually have taken to coping with meetings. SLURP SLURP SLURP. It's a healthy coping mechanism. I also like to write meaninglessly strings of words, or the EGC creed over and over again on my meeting agenda sheet.
