whooo....

so we're in seattle for jake's dad's surgery this morning.  Why am I up so early?  Well, of course, night shifts have totally screwed my sleep schedule, so I woke up at 3 am...and thought it was like 7 or something so got up to read for a bit.  Now that it's almost 5, I'm debating just staying up, since I was planning on getting up at 7 anyway to go for a run or a swim.  

On the swim note, I wanted to go to Madison Pool, but it looks like they are only in open in the afternoons, what with the City of Seattle's budget being below the red line.  Oh well, guess it's off to Shoreline for me...good, because it's closer, but it also ups my chances of running into someone I know.  That could be...um, interesting.  

Otherwise, all day, I'll be at the hospital waiting with Jake and his mom.  Good think I'm reading the Twilight saga to keep me interested.  They aren't that good, but I do keep reading to know what's going to happen next.  I guess I'm hooked, since I can't put it down.  

If I'm going to stay up, I should probably eat something soon.  Actually, I'm going to nap before I head to the pool.  

Tomorrow, I'm planning on going for a run on the Burke Gilman Trail, so that should be really pleasant right there along the lake.  We'll see how good swimming feels today too, it will probably be really good to work some other muscles for once.  

De-Fense!

That was the kitty walking on the keyboard.

Also worked out today for the first time in a week. The Vegas trip really messed up the routine...but got back on today after work. I have found that I am a MORNING workout person. If I get home from work and sleep all day, I can't find the motivation to work out after I get up, so I have to go after work, or it won't happen. It actually works pretty well, becuase what else do I have to do in the morning but sleep?

It's defense mode now in the runup to Turkey Time and Christmas and cookies and such. Didn't get too carried away with the Halloween candy, so that's good.

I am also excited about all the leaves in the yard. If it's not too dark when I get up today, I am definitely going to rake:) Otherwise, I will do it tomorrow. Woot.
