• my replacement faceplate arrived while i was away, and for the first time in over a week, i had music in my car again. oddly enough, without music in my car, i was pulled to sing - and the only things i could sing were off the old story-records i had as a kid, even though i couldn't remember all the words. so, that was the first cd i popped into the player once hawver wasn't in the car.
  
• you've heard of people sleeping diagonally across beds, right? well, overnight, my cat decided to stretch out widthwise on the bed - and paws behind her to paws in front of her, that's about two feet of bed she was taking up! i went to bed way past my bedtime last night, and in my sleep depp this morning, i adopted an 'if you can't beat them, join them' attitude and after the alarm woke me up the first time, i turned and dozed alongside the cat. she gave me funny looks each time i pulled myself up to hit snooze - which i did for a record hour and twenty minutes this morning.
  

this week has been decent, but a bit odd.
i've been feeling very unfocussed. it was most noticeable at silks and at yoga - i just didn't have the concentration to do things the right way. at silks, this lead to rugburn (rugcut?) on my leg, and at yoga just frustration over the difference in how my body is now. the combination of being bigger overall and also having some more muscle has left me less flexible in places that used to be very naturally stretchy. all of a sudden, lunges feel very different and my hips are tighter. i know that what i need to do is make time to do stretches at home, but it's very tempting to throw up my arms and say "i'm no good at this!". good thing i bought another 10-class card this week.. but, even outside the physical activities, i've just been skimming the surface a lot; i'm not liking it, but can't seem to push past it.
on Tuesday, i got no homework done, possibly undoing all the progress i made last week. instead, i hung out with jedi for a while and went to bed somewhat early. sadly, i barely slept all night.
last night was slightly underproductive, but still had a lot of good points. i got home, chatted with goat a little and then made dinner. unfortunately, i used too much lemon juice in the stirfry, but it was still edible. i then drank beer and watched tv instead of cleaning until maighread came by, and then we went to tosci's to have the most decadent drinks ever - being unable to decide between ice cream and drinks, we decided to have it all. i had an iced mocha with a scoop of mexican chocolate ice cream and she had an iced vanilla chai with chocolate jack daniels ice cream. oh, and whipped cream. yum is a total understatement.
on the way back to my place, we popped into river gods to see sol3 and goat, and after a few minutes there, the caffeine carried me back home, where i cleaned up a chunk of the cooking mess and took care of the litter box and trash. next up was cleaning my room, but sol3 showed up before i was done, so my room is still messy.
despite it being late, we got some quality time together, which was really really nice. this weekend is going to be full of running around, and i was worried that the bit of time we were getting last night wouldn't be enough to cure the "i'm feeling tired of us being rushed" feeling i was struck with, but it was.
and yes, this weekend - full of running around. next 3, possibly 4, weekends - to be spent out of town. it's starting to feel a little overwhelming. luckily, when i told my mom that i was offering to come visit for July 9th to appease her for backing out of the 4th of July, she took it in stride.
