arthur_p_dentWelcome to week two of Coffee Chat. XD
It's been a week of things. Some good, some not so much.
Among the good things, curling went well despite it being a close loss. It was another close match that came down to the last shot, which I found pretty remarkable since I ended up needing a push stick to make my shots (more on that later). I also got to spend some time afterward with my good friend, which frankly doesn't happen often enough. The weekend was also decent, with a smaller list of to-do's leaving me with more time for relaxing.
I did have plans to take time off Thursday and Friday to coincide with the US holiday, but the plant decided to do a physical count and my plans got messed up a bit. I ended up off only on Thursday, which started ok but ended with a leg injury on one of my new hills runs. I was limping pretty good for much of the weekend, and it was also the reason for using the pusher for curling. Fortunately by Monday the limp had faded, so it would seem I avoided anything serious. My leg is still sore though, so I'm taking time away from running until there's more improvement.
The worst part of the week was that it's the start of December, definitely my least favourite month of the year. I dont remember last year being so bad, but this one is starting out with a bang. I tried to take my mind off things a bit yesterday by putting up Christmas decorations earlier than normal. Unfortunately I was also cooking and working at the same time, which killed any good feelings I might have otherwise gotten. To make it worse, I spent the night with the worst case of insomnia I've had in a very long time. Hopefully it all subsides quickly - we'll see.
Well, my coffee is done (not the best I've had here), and I need to get back to finish month end (did I mention that yet?). Take care of yourselves, and I'll be back again soon. =]
