BRICK!

Okay, so today I was a little stupid.

The short story on the shower was that it went well, Jen was surprised, and it cost less than half of what it was going to. But then I found out that my first paycheck isn't til August 25, so I have to take a loan from my parents to float me til then. Ugh. In the last 12 years, I haven't asked them for money, even when things got really bad. But there's no way I can do it without their help right now. And that's a blow to my pride.

But back to how I was stupid today. I took the 6 am ferry home this morning, which put me in Port Jeff at 7:15. However, I was car-less in Port Jeff at 7:15. Loren was going to come pick me up at 9 ~ I didn't want her to get up any earlier than that, it was already wonderful that she was coming to pick me up. So I went to Starbucks and read the paper. That was great ~ nice and relaxing way to start the day.

Then the truck wasn't ready (ok, I was an hour early, but the truck wasn't ready one hour early?) so Loren and I drove around, dropped some stuff off at Goodwill, and went back to pick up the truck at 10. After paperwork and stuff, I was home by 11. And then I can't find my lock. God damn it. Alright, so I'm going to have to go to Home Depot. But I'm working out with Tristan at 2 and I already have to bike there, so I killed some time until 12:30 and then started off to Bally's. Things I learned on that ride ~ 1. The drivers on 25 are not happy about sharing the road with a cyclist. 2. Sidewalks are fun to ride on as a kid, but much less fun when you're an adult (on a road bike nonetheless). 3. Riding home after working out is also not so much fun.

Did my last set of kettlebells with Tristan today. He got some new ones ~ one 25 lb one and two more 20 lb ones. And what I learned from that was that THAT WAS STUPID.

And by that, I mean, who the hell lifts heavier weights BEFORE loading a moving van? Or goes on a 10 mile bike ride? Me, I guess.

I've loaded the van to the point that there's only a few things left in the apartment ~ most of it are things I can't carry by myself. Tristan said he'd help me with that tomorrow. Thank god.

So when that was all done, I had to still run a mile. Jezus Christmas.

July 27: W of the apartment complex
Distance: 1 mile
Feeling: totally, utterly spent

So tomorrow I still have to do a bunch of shit. So I'm going to shower now, go to bed, and get up at 5 or 6 am tomorrow to finish this off. Oh, and I have to clean still too. God damn it.
