It's a beautiful day outside. 75 degrees, sunny, one of the last gasp kind of days before the rain clouds roll in for the winter. It's putting me in a better mood than I've been in for the past week. I signed up to double at the store this weekend and hated that decision all the way through. It was the nicest weekend in a while and I spent it inside both days. I've been frustrated with my job choice lately. Nothing against where I work, it's just for me anymore. I get really ancy working inside, especially if it's at a computer. And, working retail can only last so long before you get sick of saying the same things over and over and over and dealing with mostly good people but really hating on those few creeps who really believe the world revolves around their asshole lives. I can suck it up and treat them like people, even though they aren't returning the favor, but it gets harder and harder to do so the less I want to be there. So, I've been grumpy almost daily since I didn't get my usual day off. But, I have this coming weekend off entirely and, even though I was going to let it slide, I'm cashing in the Labor Day I spent at the office and I have Friday off as well. Since Tuesday is my usual day off, I only have two more work days until my three-day weekend. And one of those workdays, Thursday, I get to work the morning shift instead of my usual night shift so I can watch the VP-debate. My mom might come over to watch with me so that would make that day exciting and work would pass swiftly as a result. Perfect. This week is actually going to fly by pretty quick I think. I need to leave in an hour for the first UW rugby practice of the year. I'm really looking forward to it, especially looking forward to incorporating Crossfit into the fitness practices. I think it will help the team a lot and hopefully get some people excited about fitness. After that it's the second episode of Heroes. That's a pretty big deal in the Zimmerman/Knapp/ex-McCrow household. I won't lie, it's definitely not the same without Kaisa's shared enthusiasm/obsession with Heroes but that's a small sacrifice for her travels abroad. And, tomorrow I have loads going on. I want to go to my Mom's but would have to leave pretty early in the morning in order to back for a 2:50 doctor appointment. I have some annoying shit to get checked out. For whatever reason, I get super bad cramps when I exercise hard sometimes. That will simply not do whenever I become a firefighter and it really threw a wrench in my plans this morning. Three coworkers came to Crossfit with me. I was really excited to have them there and did their first workout rather than the one on the board. It was the easiest one I've done and I wanted to get through it quick and maybe do the other one after. But, the guy amongst us decided he wanted to try and beat me on the last 200 and I really didn't want to lose. So I "sprinted" (or what consitutes sprinting to me) it in while swearing at him and got awesome cramps right away. Trouble is, it looked like I was going to puke. I wasn't but my guts hurt pretty horrifically so I stepped away. I didn't want to come back and say that was an easy workout when it looked like it did a number on me. So, I didn't. I'll have to prove that later on. Long story short (or long), I'm going to the doc tomorrow to figure out why this happens. Then, back to Crossfit at 5:30 and then to my last Breakers practice at 6:45. Wednesday I want to do the 7am Crossfit since there's a clinic at work at 9am. Short break and back to work at 3:00 and then UW practice at 8:30. Thursday would be another early Crossfit, hopefully, work 8-3 and then begins the gloriously long weekend hopefully watching Palin embarass herself on national TV. (Nothing against you personally, Sarah. Your policies just terrify me and I really don't want your side to win the election. I wish you the best in your personal life though.) Molly and I were supposed to go to Oktoberfest in Leavenworth this weekend but we're thinking no. We have to get our patio in before the serious muds start and, even if it rains at the end of the week, it's probably better now than later. Also, those damn chickens are still on the porch and I really want them off. I'm wondering if there's a better solution than the dog crate on the front porch. Maybe the newly completed patio? Our garden is super tomato-ey. Some of the leaves on the squash need to get cut back and that veggies need to get picked and eaten. A lot can probably be pulled up since we're going to cover that whole area with fill dirt anyways. Besides that, it's just the same old stuff. Before winter Molly and I want to get a woodstove installed, put new gutters on the house, bring in fill dirt to the front lawn and put raised beds in place of the current "flower" and "herb" gardens. We also want to finish the patio, put a second set of stairs on the side of the porch and pull the back fence up to that area, and then paint the fence so it's weather-proofed. It's a lot to do. Hopefully we can knock a lot out this weekend. It would feel really good to be able to sit back and see some accomplishments, besides that damn chicken coop and it's eggless chickens.
Also, Lily peed on us again last night. She is a little bitch.
