jianantonicJust 3/4 of a workday left to go and I'm en route to DC for the long weekend. Technically, I'll be working, but really it's more of a vacation - a much needed one. It's not that work has been stressful this week, because it surely hasn't been, but the funk persists and I need a change of scenery, if only a brief one. Ahren's birthday is Tuesday, and we both have Sunday off on the schedule, so I'm taking him to a Nationals game to celebrate. I've got plans to see them when the Dbacks come to town, but that's not until September, so this will be my first Nationals game. It'll also be my first D-Rays game. Woohoo, right? So, let's see...I haven't really seen that many pro teams. I've seen the Orioles, Mets, Twins, and Diamondbacks, and I've been to Shea Stadium and Camden Yards, for a total of 5 pro games - this will be two new teams and one new stadium for me. Yay:) For someone as die-hard as I am, you'd think I would've made it out to more games, but there's nothing close, and it's an expensive hobby. I intend to be a regular one day, though.
The gym last night was like a reunion - I saw all kinds of folks I haven't seen in a long time. I spent some time catching up with them, but most of the time was spent getting my ass kicked by my sadistic trainer. We did what she called dropdown sets on a bunch of the machines - basically you start at your regular settings on a machine, do 8 reps, then drop the weight 10 pounds, do 10 reps, and drop it 10 more pounds and do 12 reps - so it's 30 reps before you rest, and then you do that three times just like you were doing your regular set of 10 or 12 reps. My legs felt like they were on FIRE. It hurts so bad...but I can see how they'd be good for me, so I took it like a champ. I only cried a little ;)
I've got some work to do, so I guess this is enough procrastinating for now. There's a good chance I'll be back on LJ before I go, but if I'm not, have a good long weekend, everyone.
Peace.
