This is my life! :)
Watson has calmed down, and for that I am thankful. He bites
somewhat, but not as often or as hard. He is licking more than biting, and
purring more than clawing. He likes to sleep now, and romp outdoors. He comes
back to the door on his own now, and he doesn’t have his moments of crazy
sprinting. He is all curled up next to me as I write. I like having a cuddly
buddy instead of a terror. It’s Watson and I vs. the World. I miss Cooper, but he has been replaced by
another 4 legged fur-ball.
All this guy does is sleep…
I ventured out on Wednesday and went to McAllister Park to
do my long run. I was having a serious mental block. I was so tired of my loop
and running on a sidewalk that I needed to go somewhere new to get past my 2.8
mile brick wall. It was so nice to run at the park. They have a big 6 mile loop
and other little ones that you can jump on to. I finally hit 4 miles. That is
the first time since last Dec (for the 10k run) that I had gone over 3.2miles
so… I was relieved. If I didn’t have to pee so incredibly badly, I could have
gone for at least another half of a mile. (Sorry if that was too much info). I
am going to go back today and try to get 5 in. Definitely making sure that my
bladder is EMPTY before I start running this time! The run was so pretty
though. Look who I saw:
So I was perusing the World Wide Web and found something
extremely interesting. How did I NOT know about this?!?! And who doesn’t love Harry Potter, and Eddie
Redmayne. Seriously.
Phyllis Schlafly. Can someone please explain this woman to me?
She relates to my last post on feminism. Don’t know who she is? Read this
article below. (Good luck getting through it without throwing something) I was
pretty annoyed by the end.
If that’s not enough… keep googling. What makes me the most
mad is that she is all against women’s rights, all for the submissive wife BUT…
she is (according to Wikipedia) “activist, author, and speaker and founder of
the Eagle Forum.” So… the woman who thinks that women belong in the home is out
campaigning, writing books and has had a (unfortunately) strong political
career. Ummmmm what? How does that work? Shouldn’t she be in the kitchen or
something? How can you promote something that, by promoting it, you are doing
the exact opposite of what you are promoting? (Does that make sense?)
So I think I am losing it lately. I have let Watson outside
twice this week and forgot that I had. Not only did I forget, but I couldn’t
remember if I even had let him out once I remembered I hadn’t seen him for
awhile. (See… not ready for offspring).
To add to that absent-mindness… I went outside to change my
license plate holder (Thanks mom and dad!) and remembered that I had been
driving around for 2 months with an expired registration. Before my parents
call to yell at me… I had already renewed, but the sticker kept living on the
kitchen counter instead of my windshield. So… decided it was about time to
change it out. As I was figuring out the stupid sticker, I read my inspection
sticker. 8 15. Ohhhh crap. Guess who also has an expired inspection. Thank you car
windshield sticker gods…. I have to make it to the zoo and back tonight without
getting pulled over. Then I get to spend a Saturday getting my car inspected.
Shouldn’t be too busy because no one else in San Antonio is going to go to an
auto place on a Saturday. Argh.
(Update: I did make
it to the zoo run and back with an expired inspection. The Saturday line could
have been worse I guess… but I was a little annoyed because they no longer give
you a sticker to put on your windshield. I have a piece of paper in my glove compartment
to prove I was inspected. Umm… why didn’t I just tear off my sticker then and
take a chance? When the guy said that to me, I just groaned and said “Ahh man…
not my registration sticker is floating weird (it really is without the other
sticker). If I would have known I would have waited to put on my registration
sticker until after today. I JUST put it on my car on Thursday”. He says “Yeah
a lot of people hate that their sticker is floating. Wait… your registration
says it was due in July”… and he looks at me with a smirk. Yeah ok dude… you
caught me. Geez.)
So my “bite” is really bothering me. I hope the thing that bit me has died a slow and painful death via another insect or something. The bite is behind my left knee so... it is constantly ripped open. This is what it used to
look like:
That mountain portion is the size of a nickel
This is what it looked like on Wednesday (and still looks
like that but the scab is bigger):
The scab is the sixe of a nickel and the red, swollen itchy part around it is a little bigger than a 50 cent piece
(Update. It now looks like a scab with dry skin all around it. I think it is FINALLY getting better!)
Ahhh technology. I really do love it. It is the age of “if
you hate talking to people, you don’t have to” in terms of ordering things. For
this introvert… it’s amazing. I just refilled my prescription online on CVS. I
can order anything from Panera for Rapid pickup from my laptop or my phone. I
order pizza online from Pizza Hut, customize everything and then go pick it up
at a selected time. All without picking up the phone. Technology is such a
beautiful thing.
I am so EXCITED for FOOOOOOTTTTBBBBBAAAALLLLL!!!! I am sad
that I only get the stupid Cowboy’s games down here and no Bills. The stakes
are higher this year in the Pick’em league so I really have to up my game (and
NOT pick the Bills every week like I did last year. Probably would have come in
first instead of second if I didn’t put so much faith in that team!) Other than
watching football, I am just trying to get chores done so my week is slower.
Running 4-5 miles takes up a lot of my night! (Im pretty slow!) I have to make
sure to schedule workouts into life and plan around my runs instead of planning
my runs around other stuff. I would never get out there if I didn’t schedule
them!
Until next time…
