St. Patty's Day 6 Miler

-
J ran with me this morning. 6 miles. Not a 10K (6.2 miles) but a 6 miler. I didn't run as fast as my last 10K. Finished in 1:06:some seconds. BUT, I did keep a pretty even pace for the whole run. Now I just need to run regularly and I can keep the pace under 11 minutes per mile.

My shoes, however, are officially dead. I got blisters in places that I've never gotten blisters before (from running, anyway). Well, the Dillards over at Sunland Park Mall has the women's Merrells in. Not the men's, just the women's. So I'm gonna go get a pair this week. I'll check the men's department while I'm there and see if they have those in yet. It's time for new shoes. There's a 10K on April 8. That's a Friday, so it's during PT. Hopefully we'll get J's platoon out there with us.

Then I sat at the Relay table for a while. J did some work at his office. He joined me at the PX and we saw Paul.

OMG, hilarious movie. I love Simon Pegg!

Finally it was home for delivery pizza and alcohol. I'd say it was quite a successful day.

    Glad you liked "Paul". We're going to try to find a way to see it, sans Bennett, before it leaves the theaters! I *heart* Simon Pegg too! :D

In Need of Advice

-
Most of my local girlfriends follow me here, so I can ask for advice. I'm a messy person. I always have been. J knew this when we started dating. He knew it when we moved in, when we got engaged, when we got married. He still isn't used to it, and eventually we argue a little about the state of the house. I've never been very organized. I'm a stacker. I like to make stacks and piles, and then leave them there. Fortunately, I'm not a afraid of germs or dirt. Or maybe that's unfortunately, since it would probably help me keep a cleaner house. I see my friends' houses and don't know how they do it. Especially the ones with kids. How do you keep your counter so clean? How do you keep things put away? Another part of the problem is that I don't like cleaning. I mean, sometimes I actually say, "Oh, let's do some dishes. That sounds like the thing to do now." Sometimes. Other times I look at my dirty dishes and want to just throw them...

An Ode to Prescription Drugs

Oh tramadol, my tramadol, You ease my pain, But you set sweet sleep Beyond my grasp And make me itch *le sigh* Ok, so it's not exactly an ode, but it's what I got at 0611 when the migraine didn't go away last night. I took tramadol when it started to hurt. I had taken ibuprofen and it apparently didn't keep the pain away. I waited about 5 hours to take a second tramadol, since it says to take 1-2 every 4-6 hours. Then I went to bed. I got this weird roaming itch. I think I've mentioned it before but don't feel like looking it up. I had trouble sleeping again as well. It wasn't as bad as last time, but I couldn't seem to just stay asleep. So I looked up side effects of tramadol. Mild itching is a common side effect, which explains the roaming itch. Dry mouth is another side effect, and yes I experience that. I just keep water by my bed. But this trouble sleeping isn't listed. I suppose it could just be the itching that's waking m...

Cleaning Update

-
I got tons of advice from all kinds of people, and it's helping. I posted that cleaning schedule on my fridge in a plastic sheet protector. I mark off the chores each day as I do them. I just started week 2. Week 1 went well. I did end up with a bit of a migraine on Friday and didn't get the master bath done, but I knocked it out this morning. I think it might work. For my "once a months" I'm going to do that thing on the week it's next to. So this week I pull out the movable furniture (couches, chairs, any shelves that are easy to move) and suck up all the dog hair that collects there. Some of the furniture, mostly shelves, is hard to move and will get done during big cleaning sprees. I would love to start doing a spring cleaning in preparation for Passover. I haven't even been able to celebrate Passover the past few years, but I'll be home for it next year and have some girlfriends who would be interested in coming. Anywho, the cleaning is...
