Funkytown

that's where i've been of late. not sure why, but i think it was triggered with the old man going into the hospital (old man being my father). not sure why. but i hope it's passing. i spent yesterday on the couch vegging out. which i don't like to do. i am not in shape and need to be for Australia.

although yesterday i did jump rope for 10 minutes. you may laugh at that, 10 minutes right? well have you jumped rope lately? it's fucking hard on the shins. and i was so out of breath. but if i can keep it up i won't be having problems with it. damn glad i didn't decide to do a full out 30 minute jump rope session (i was advised to start that out super slow). i of course will jump rope for a minute between each weight lifting set too (ya know, i'm sure you see people do that in the gym, IF you go).

i also did interval training today (walk/jog for a few minutes at a time). i only wanted to do it for 10 minutes but felt better so kept going. was going for 30 but was like WTF i can do more. i eventually ended up doing an hour, went to the post office, and home. then i realized--- my cell phone was not in my pocket.

SOOOOOOOO i was having a stress moment, thinking i've got to fork out hundreds of dollars for a new phone. but i went back to the beach to find it. i was like, OMG it's like finding a needle in a haystack! but a couple positives: 1) it was highest tide when i went out running (i try for low tide but won't be able to today) 2) it was threatening rain while i was out so not too many people out there.

so since it was high tide, i had to basicallly walk the sand dunes in most places. plus! because unless my phone dropped out in the middle of a patch of black goop (some of that shit that comes up in high tide it so yucky) it shouldn't be too hard to find.

and find it i did. thank goodness. but i ended up spending another hour backtracking so i did a nice workout today!

i cashed out my two measly retirement accounts this morning. wow and all the above before 10am. woohoo! but since i am not using financial aid for my trip i need the money.

i am going to submit my resume to the career services department of the school. i don't have a lot of graphic design or other department knowledge so not sure how i am going to find a decent job (another reason why i've been in funkytown). but there's an actual internship with the Falcons. if i wasn't in classes i'd consider doing it! that would be kinda cool! i know who the major players are! i certainly know my defense from my offense.

oh well i must get my web pages done......
