T-Rex Arms!

August 5th, 2008. Published under General. 2 Comments.

It seems that this summer is slipping away. And what have I done lately? Not much.

Haven’t done any races, just did that one bike ride for breast cancer with Jennifer. I’m just in a *blah* state of mind right now. Tim’s getting ready to go back to college in a few weeks, settling into his “school job” and tinkering with computer parts (and being quite enthused by them) - but what have I been doing or looking forward to?

Nothing.

I’m taking some time off around Labor Day (because why not?), but I won’t be going anywhere or doing anything spectacular - just hanging around the house. Tim will be working anyway. We have his brother’s wedding in NY in mid-September and I know it’ll be fun, but I’m not stoked by it either.

It’s also possible that I’m not only noticing that the days are getting shorter again, but that I seem to have the “I want to lay around, do nothing and eat everything in sight and out of sight” PMS this month. It’s like spinning a wheel sometimes. Sometimes it’s the “why don’t you just fucking DIE” PMS or “I’m going to blow up like a puffer fish and retain water like a camel” PMS or “nothing whatsoever”. It’s like a game show, but horrible, food-filled and angry.

But I digress.

I have friends in varying stages of turmoil right now and I feel like a heel because I don’t feel like I’m doing enough for them as a friend. On the other hand, I want to do nothing but stay home like a hermit. It’s not a big sign of any malcontent that I have right now - it’s more of a combination of “everything’s pretty even” and “I’m a cheap miser”. There’s no “dear god I want to die” feelings, but there aren’t any “HOLY CRAP WOOOOO!” feelings either. But, that’s not a bad thing - is it?

I’m also being a hermit because of the aforementioned PMS and, as of right now, after 7pm on Friday my weekend has officially been commandeered. Friday night is Tech Snark. Saturday I work at Ye Olde Part Tyme Jobbe, then I head straight down to my sister’s house where I’ll be helping her with some home improvement stuff (to pay her back for all the help she gave me) and head back home by 4pm on Sunday to record the PownceCast.

So no time off for this kitten this weekend!

Also, since I focus way too much on running in my fitness, my arms resemble a T-Rex: small, wimpy and nearly useless. So I’m going to do the One Hundred Push Ups Challenge. I’m pretty stoked. My upper body is going to look smokin’!
