Just like old times
I'm rowing tomorrow morning for the first time in nearly 2 months. I'm really excited about it. It's just a one-time deal during the holiday break, since I'm out of school this week, and some of my old crewmates are at home bored and vegging. And we'll have a coach, a young guy named Jason, who's training for a national team of some sort. I hear he's good and am looking forward to rowing for him.
Only problem is, I'm sore and blistered from playing tennis yesterday for the first time in nearly a year. The BF and tennis partner had been out for months with a severe back injury. We're not great, but we're both pretty evenly matched and both insist on hitting it hard and not giving each other any breaks -- which makes for some short points but long games that go back and forth from deuce, your ad, deuce, my ad, deuce, my ad, deuce, your ad... It's the game that wouldn't end. My right leg and buttcheek are sore -- WTF? -- and I have a blister on my right thumb. The thumb's going to be problematic for rowing 'cause it's the hand with which I grip the oar the hardest. It'll hurt, but it'll be a good hurt.

Waistline update
Feeling fat. Eating out too much. Gut oozing out over top of and testing limits of jeans like Chris Farley. Surrounded by endless supply of holiday candies and sweets, which I am powerless to resist.
Current mood: Depressed

Dusting off the cobwebs
I guess I should post something so people don't think I'm dead.
Nya nya. Today has been a perfect example of why one lives in Florida. It's a veritable blizzard up north, but it's 72 degrees, slightly breezy, bright and sunny and beautiful here in the swampy goodness between the Redneck Riviera and Alligator Alley. I've been pretty overwhelmed lately between school, work and Christmas activities. As you might expect, I've been forced to put Christmas obligations off till the last minute, so I'm still shopping and struggling to set aside some time to fill out Christmas cards. I haven't forgotten about you. School hasn't been hard, but it's been a LOT of information shoved into our heads in a very short period of time. I can barely tell my gluteus maximus (ass) from my external auditory meatus (hole in my head). I'm fascinated, just overwhelmed by too much information. My girl, Amber, has gone nutso. I think it's the cool, dry, crisp weather. She's no spring chicken, but that hasn't stopped her from darting up and down the hallway, cooing, meowing, demanding attention, rolling on her back under the bed, trying to get the mellow cat to play (to no avail), then dashing off, tail poofed, with hair standing on end -- over and over again for the past few days. She's a trip. Going to see another wrestling event next month with my wrestling buddy (and ex-coworker) in Fort Lauderdale. It should be a hoot. Big, manly, ripped men acting like goofs. I can't wait. Nervous about my first critiqued massage for a grade, coming up sometime this week, called the first evaluation (there's a second, more comprehensive one, considered the final exam, right before you graduate). It's critiqued and graded by a clinical instructor. It's nearly impossible to fail, but just being in the spotlight and under a microscope makes me terribly nervous. The thought of it is making me more nervous than the anatomy test also this week. Current mood: Sleepy
