The weblog has competition: 16 sex in the city dvd's I borrowed from T. Bliss, finally I can lie in front of the TV brainlessly again!
For all those people who are laughing at me for playing soccer: I am getting better, I even get praised, and I managed to aim some hard shots today - even scoring a goal (ehrm, we did not have a goalee today though). I will be moved back to mid field in the next game, we have had to have a strategy rethink because we played so badly in the last game. No one paid much attention to my strategy contributions, why not??? If we win on Wednesday we go on to the tournament. I hope we do!
On Tuesday morning I have the tennis try-out. The coach actually called me to say it was too rainy and whether i could manage Tuesday. 11 am, great time, if I always have to play at these times I may not be playing much..
The IRB has promised me feedback by Monday, Tuesday at the latest. A relief (I can run next week Tuesday!), and a stressor (should I try to run earlier?). So you see I always manage something to worry about. Had 4 wonderful worry free hours of complete relaxation with another person - probably the first time since I have been here. I did not realize how much I had missed it until I experienced it again: T and I went shopping together and evaluated each others clothes, chatted about all sorts of things and ended up having a salad dinner together. It was such fun, made me very happy!
One more J-less week to go. I am not pleased with him right now. THanks to his tree that was hanging into our drive way after a storm I now have a broken antennae and another scratch on my car. How was I to know backing into an overhanging tree would have such drastic consequences? L laughed very loudly when I asked whether I could hold J liable for the damage :-))
Big dog is coming back again this evening. I guess I was a little too positive about her when I thought she was leaving anyway (all I said is that I could look after her this weekend because I have more time to let her out then - and because I am too much of a chicken to sleep in the house alone with only a little cavalier king charles spaniel, did not say that). i was so looking forward to some guilt-free running this week (which will be hard enough with soccer match and tennis game planned already).
Hmm, perhaps it's time to watch just one more session of sic...
