justification for comprimise

August 27th, 2003

Off topic: It really creeps me out to hear a grown man call another grown man “baby” in an attempt to be macho-sport-jocklike.

Ok .. so I think I’ve decided that I cannot coach Master’s swim any longer. Does it make it better if I say I’m not resigning FOR work, but BECAUSE of work?

One year ago today, my friend had her final chemotherapy treatment. She’s a survivor. Next year, on this date, we’re gonna take her to get a pink ribbon tattoo.

Congratulatsions Mary. You’re my hero.

I’m in some sort of a snit today that I can’t figure out. I feel like Martin Short in Innerspace when Dennis Quaid was stimulating his adrenal gland…

outta control

August 1st, 2003

So far this year, I’ve forgotten Mother’s day, my sister’s birthday and now my mom’s birthday.. oh, and I think Father’s day was somewhere in there too..

My house is a mess (well, not so much now thanks to Nick), the bills are piling up, and the dogs are becoming restless..

I haven’t cooked in weeks (might be closer to months).. we’ve been pretty good about laundry (only because we need to keep washing our biking clothes) ..

All of this, and I still don’t get as much biking as I would like. And I’m tired, because I stay up way to late and don’t get enough sleep..

I feel like some sort of drug addict ..

How do I balance all of this? I don’t understand how others can manage to ride almost daily.. how does that happen?

argh..
