Holiday weekend
On Saturday I had to work from midnight until eight. Whenever that happens I put a little check in the get-out-of-the-service column. Lots of checks on that side of the chart, and now with the new G.I. Bill it's almost a no brainer. Full ride plus books plus a paycheck, wow!
My Sunday plan was to sleep in until noon or so and then go to the pool, but when I got home I was still wired from being at work and didn't want to sleep yet so I threw in a movie. National Treasure 2. Pretty damn good! It was one of those where my expectations were low and were therefore easily surpassed. Only thing was about 30 minutes into the movie I suddenly passed out on the couch.
I woke up around noon as planned and looked outside. Bright and sunny, a beautiful day. I was blinded. Something about being up all night makes you hate the sun, so I opted out of the pool. Instead I made some pancakes, put the movie back on and watched it through, and then suddenly passed out on the couch again. I woke up at 11:30 last night and thought, "Well, I guess it's time for bed now."
This morning I woke up early, refreshed. I did not feel guilty for sleeping the day away because I obviously needed it. I decided to make a big breakfast, eggs and corned beef hash and pancakes. I wanted the eggs over easy, that way you put them on top of the hash and the yolks make it yummy, but something was wrong with my eggs. I couldn't crack them! Instead of cracking open they just smooshed and I kept breaking the yolks. I wasted three eggs, I was getting pissed. I was cursing them, G__D___ these F___ing eggs! Usually I don't want to waste them so I'll make them up anyway, scrambled or something, but today I was in no mood so I just kept throwing them away until I finally got two nice ones. For the pancakes I used the instant batter that comes in the yellow shakey thing, I thought it would be gross but it is pretty tasty and very easy, also no mess. It costs about a dollar.
I have the day off today so the weekend is not a total loss. No big plans. I could wash the car. Somebody dinged my door again, a nice big one that went through the paint. I swear if I ever saw somebody doing that I would kill them. Why do they think it is okay to dent somebody's car and not say anything? IT IS NOT OKAY! If they were driving and somebody hit them they would get out of the car and carefully inspect the area for the slightest scratch and they would demand insurance information and the cops, but in a parking lot they think it is perfectly fine to dent the shit out of somebody's door and then just walk away. I will seriously pummel somebody if I ever catch him, even if it is not my car.
My marathon training has started back up, I recruited another guy to train with me. I was supposed to go 18 miles this weekend though and I went a total of zero, this is not a good start. I could still go today, but I think I might consider just running a half this year. I haven't registered yet, I think I'll just wait and see how the next few weeks go.
I like this game, The Impossible Quiz.
