to August, and beyond

Ben and I just got back from Conneaut n'at. His family is up there all week. Unfortunately it was cloudy and cool most of the day, so I didn't get to work on eliminating my farmer's tan. Suppose that's what August is for.

Speaking of - only two weeks of work left! Can't really believe that. Part of me feels like it's gone very quickly, and part of me feels like I've always been working there. I've been feeling very strongly recently that this is sort of a watershed time for me - new job (though it is only temporary, it's a proper lawyer job), new place to live, new decade, new iPod, new kitten (still outside, but s/he's a wee babeeee). All good stuff, but that doesn't mean the old stuff was bad stuff. There have been good things and bad things, but that's how life is.

I still can't run. I tried on the treadmill yesterday and couldn't manage it. I did the elliptical though, so at least I'm maintaining some muscle tone. It's not entirely a bad thing to not be able to run - I obviously haven't gained 30 pounds as I was afraid I would, and there are plenty of other ways to work out. Maybe in August I will be able to do some more yoga too.

Mmkay, all updated on all my computery things. Now I need to accomplish tasks. It's practically Monday!
