we're taking care of livvie's parents' dog, ramona, for the next two weeks while they're on vacation. it's a pretty easy gig, but she does like to bark quite a bit. this can usually be remedied by placing her in a room where she can't see people walkign by. earplugs have been helpful as well.
here's the two pups at the top of the stairs last night:
perhaps it's not just work that's tiring me out this past week. my mileage has increased to 4/7/8.5/0/7/5. it didn't look like a lot of miles there on the sidebar of this blog, but SHOOT, my legs were tired this week. i'm working tonight, and tomorrow is my long run. hopefully i'll be able to pull the energy out of somewhere to get that done. i just have to keep thinking to myself: it doesn't have to be fast, just get the miles done.
livvie is gone this weekend at the beach. i have to work the whole weekend, so we wouldn't have seen much of each other anyway. having to work the entire labor day weekend has also made me feel acutely the loss of attending-dom. now (again) i'm just another intern who has to indiscriminately work holidays and weekends. but before i start feeling too sorry for myself, let me remember:
- i love my job
- i work with a fantastic group of people
- i have a loving and supportive family
- liv is great
- i have a great group of friends (and the bubba)
- i live in a fun town where it's easy to run and i can bike to work!
and i shouldn't feel too bad about having to work the whole weekend. i have friday through sunday of next week off to run the blue ridge relay. we had our first team meeting at the station last night over beers. i didn't know most of the team, but they seem like a great group of folks. we even came up with our official team name: "the tarheel crunk posse."
ok, i'm going to grab some dinner at weaver street market before heading into work. hope everyone has a great labor day weekend. please try to stay out of the ER. it would be better for both of us that way.
