Calling… anyone?
I had three things I needed to do last night: do laundry, call Aunt Lisa, and clean the apartment. Three things. Long story short, the presence of someone washing about nine loads of laundry (no joke) kept me in the laundry room from 20:30 until 23:00. All I wanted was to wash three loads. My auntie is uncalled (this is probably the only week this entire year she will work first shift) and my apartment is still a mess. I need more sleep. I shouldn’t be this damn tired and close to tears with frustration during the summer. Tonight is stirfry and Firefly with WO and tomorrow is Chicago with…

Stepping up the speed
Yesterday’s run had the goal of trying to complete my 5 km in the time I have before WO arrives in the SRC and while he completes his day of the Couch-to-5K program. Sounds like a long time (it’s about forty minutes, or just shy) for 5 km, but I’m still intervalling on 600 m/200 m splits. But I did it. I had about 200 m of walking left when WO finished up, so he only had to wait while I stretched. My legs twinged a little at the beginning of the workout, which was more the effect of the weight-lifting Tuesday than a recurrence of injury (fatigue of those…

It’s time…
(11:01:20) WO: I’ve seen the “Users don’t read error boxes” problem he mentions on another page. (11:03:19) Lissa: Oh, yes! That makes helpdesk work so damn difficult. “What was the error?” “I don’t know. I just clicked it, and now my machine doesn’t work. Fix it.” “But you didn’t read the error?” “No, I just clicked it.” ?!!?! (11:04:54) WO: Yup. They click it so fast you don’t even have TIME to read it. (11:05:33) Lissa: You’d think it was the damn physical portion of an IQ test–faster means better! go twitch reactions! (11:06:07) WO: Yup! (11:06:25) WO: How the hell do they know which button to click?! (11:06:47) Lissa:…

Weighing in.
Yesterday was weight-lifting day. It had been a week since I lifted, and I felt it a little but not horribly. I’m up in shoulder press (and my shoulders do feel better; they still pop and jerk when moving through a full range of motion, but they have regained some of their stability). My shins, of course, feel amazing after all the months of pain while running. Leg press: 13/12 @ 55 lb Bench press: 13/12 @15 lb Lat pulldown: 15/10 @ 144 lb Shoulder press: 15/11 @ 5 lb Anterior tibialis: 13 all/12 all @ 10 lb I also weighed in yesterday evening. I haven’t been weighed since last…

What in tarnation?
Why have I suddenly become obsessed with reggaeton? Don Omar, Daddy Yankee, etc. Weird. I’ve got to be scaring coworkers and my roomie if they hear what’s blaring out of my headphones. Then again, I may do that normally… I’ve hacked out a few thousand words over the past couple of days, and while not all of it is published yet, some of it is up on the Ila des Mains series page. My character is morphing on me, becoming less nervous and neurotic in some respects, but I shall endeavor to keep her close to the brand of psychotic she was in the first couple of stories. That, of…
