The pre-homework blog
I woke up at 5:45 AM and was worried that I was going to have another horrible night of sleep. But then I realized I had my alarm set for 6 AM anyway and I had already slept over 8 hours. I got up and went to the gym where I foam rollered, ellipticalled for 30 minutes, and did some leg presses and wall sits (to benefit my quad/knee). I biked to the gym (using the blinking light I single-handedly installed on my bike!) and had to go the long way b/c it was still dark and not safe to go through the park I usually cut across. It felt so great to be up early, starting my day, and getting a workout in. I really like the elliptical but haven’t done it too much since the winter just b/c it has been so gorgeous out the past few months and I wanted to be outside. Plus, I was tri training over the summer and there is no elliptical event. I feel a bit sniffly with a slight cough but I am much much improved over the past couple of days.
In the rest of my life-I love my dentist/orthodontist and his whole office staff. I had to go today. Too boring to describe why, but if anyone in Boston has any teeth issues please let me refer you! Also, even though it doesn’t hurt anymore, having a retainer is still annoying. I usually eat something between breakfast and lunch (especially when I workout in the morning) but I was at a really long meeting. I didn’t exactly want to take my retainer out in front of everyone and then subsequently have to excuse myself to go brush my teeth. So…I pre-planned a fluid snack. I ate applesauce. But then in the afternoon, when I was by myself in the school computer lab, I wanted to eat a Balance bar and it was SUCH a process. Use hand sanitizer. Take out retainer. Eat balance bar. Go to bathroom and brush teeth. Put in retainer. I tell ya, my teeth and gums are going to be SOOO healthy by the end of this.
I am headed to NC tomorrow. I think we may have finally found someone to perform the services. Apparently there aren’t a lot of Catholics down south so you have to book a traveling priest. It’s okay to laugh-we all did. We just can’t believe how hard it is to “book” someone to do the service. I am really looking forward to seeing all of my family and I know my grandma is too. I talked to her the other night and that was great-and sad. I am bringing my running shoes and I know my little brother is too (he is missing x-country practice and is going to get his miles in). If I had to guess I would imagine my Dad will as well. I don't think he travels without his sneakers.
