Jan. 18th, 2005 01:11 pmOh good, LJ is back up! It's going to take me a couple of days to read what I missed over the long weekend.
The long weekend was fun. I had a massage Saturday afternoon, which got the kinks out of my aching neck. I couldn't stand how lazy I was being, so on the spur of the moment, walked from the town I was in to the next town over for a stretch and bowl of soup once I got there. It was SO cold and damp, but the hodge-podge "emergency clothing" in my car did the trick of keeping me warm. I veered off on a different route into F-x, looking for a bridge I'd seen once before, and found it. It's fun explore by myself since I have a good sense of direction and am not easily lost, plus enjoy adding to my mental maps. En route, I FINALLY located the defunct F-x Town and Country Club that is constantly being argued about re: planning/local gov't/real estate development. Cool!
Sunday, it was hot at home. I could've done yard work all day, but instead got some work done at the office, then off to suelac's surprise party that evening, which was very fun and I wouldn't have missed for the world.
Redbud and narcissus are blooming now.
Monday, I more than doubled the walk from Sat. by walking from my house to F-x and back with a friend. Hoo boy, my feet were sore by the end, which tells me I need to do this much more often. Then off to see the Hotel Rwanda with my sis, followed by drinks at the Club, where we ran into a mutual friend, which was fun. HR was horrifying but not the tear-jerker I thought it would be. Don Cheadle is excellent as is Nick Nolte. After seeing that, I'm resolved to donate again now to the foundation that makes micro-loans and grants to women in Africa instead of to tsunami aid, as soon as I dig out its name again. Drat. I thought I had it bookmarked. Grr.
Back to work.
edit: Monday's walk was about 8 miles. Yay!
