So, I can’t get daily contacts. My right eye and my left eye have both apparently gotten a lot worse over the past 2 years, and so I have to up my prescription by an amount that the optomestrist says may make me feel a little queasy and so I should ease my way into it. Plus the lenses alone will cost between $327 and $476, depending on the type of frames I have them put into.
I’m going to trial the contacts still, but not really sure what I should be doing glasses-wise. I will be poor, regardless.
Meh.

So, to whoever it was who stole Rish’s laptop last night… I hope karma gets you. Or you realise that you’re better off just giving it back for that no questions asked reward. I don’t care about the laptop, it’s just the work he had inside of it :(

Did my second PUMP class. Feeling quite shakey.. I need to get dinner started so I don’t fall over into bed. But it was good, though I think I had my weights too high at one point :p I’ll gauage it properly next week.

I nearly lost my work diary today. I headed to Woden to book an optomestrist appointment (think I’m going to get daily disposable contact lenses for those times when I really should have been wearing contacts), get lunch, and to just get out of the office. I put my diary on top of the car while I got my keys out, then got in and drove off. Made it back to work 5km away, and realised that there was no diary on my passenger seat. Crap. Drive back to Woden. Diary is on the ramp out of the car park *phew*

Okay. Need to make sweet potato chips. Yums.

So often I come home from long weekends rather tired, and so not ready to face the working week again.
I think it has alot to do with the travel. Even though Rish is often the one to do the driving, I still get tired travelling, have a hard time sleeping in the car, always still watching the road. But that’s my problem, hey? :p
We got to the beach, even if it was Monday lunch, and even if we didn’t swim. We still saw beach, I still got enough sunshine to bring out my freckles. :)
Last night I dreamed that I was in a plane crash. I blame it on me completely forgetting to call Rish’s mother to organise our flights over the Greece in July. It looks like I’ll spend a few weeks in Greece, rather than chopping around Europe. Rish will be usy druring the times I was looking at, so I’ll just have to leave him to his work and what he’s meant to be doing while he’s there, and I’ll just have to spend more time in Summery Greece :p Such a shame. Going the start of July – just over 3 months! :)

4 day lng weekend, so we’re off up to Newcastle with the rest of the traffic to Sydney, bright and early tomorrow morning. Once Rish is out of the shower, I’ll be inspired to pack and get myself off to bed.
Wondering if it’ll be beach weather – there’s been iffy weather up there, and there’s a cold snap due (from 30 doown to a max of maybe 15 tomorrow?) here overnight. Maybe winter will come.
Got a line-up of social events, friends and family to see. Chocolate eating to seriously consider :p
(yet another version of that bunny cartoon I see every year)

Okay. I just completed my first bodypump class.
(and I was just about to eat some leftover kangaroo and vege kebabs when I’ve realised that, hey, I should take my antibiotic, and then wait half an hour and then eat *pouts*)
Okay, that done.
I reckon I’ll be sore on Friday :p I used the smallest weights because I knew that for my first class I wanted to focus on the technique etc… The is a technique class on Fridays, but it’s a 5pm, and 5pm Friday? If I am off work I’d rather be drinking :p
So, I had mini-weights on. And I was going along fine. Rish has taught me well with rechnique. I saw some girls (one in particular) with terrible posture throughout and really hoped that she wasn’t hurting herself. I biceps went pink during the bicep stuff, so I knew the blood was flowing there! (yes, I go pink and red so quickly)… and the squats and lunges kill me. The kill me without music, and with Rish just pushing me along, so to put me to music, in a class, it’s good for me.
So yes, I’ll be back next Wednesday night for the same torture. Rish and I are going to try to do a second weights session on Sundays, where I can focus on the weights etc, but both will be good for me, and with the cardio sessions through the week. I’m having fun (but feeling oh so guilty over the little easter eggs that were going around today and I decided to eat!)

So, the theory worked in that I’m feeling far better today that I was late last week, and the extra time at home probably contributed to me feeling better. I do seem a bit sniffly this morning, but that’s probably because I’m going to be seeing children today and my body is already trying to get rid of any contact I may have had with them. Like Hay Fever, but with children.
Gym yesterday went well – Mostly on the treadmill – did my 5:30 in a block that totalled 15 mins (did another 4:30 at the end of that), then used the eliiptical on a hard setting for 15 mins, then back to the treadmill for my vesion of intervals. Yesterday that meant starting at 6.0, then going for 3:00 at 9.0k, then back to a walk until the next song at 3:00 to go then put it back to 9.0k, back down etc. 3 min blocks with at most 2min rests. With a 5 min or so go at the end :p
Think I did more than I had sugars in my body, because once I got home I was vague vague until I’d gotten some dinner and some Nip/Tuck watching out of the way. Gotta love a Christmas episode!
Okay, there are 4 work days this week, then the Easter long weekend. I can do this! :p
