happy first day of summer... and FULL MOON...
yes, so today (i guess really yesterday, or tuesday) was the first day of summer. and it's also full moon. hooowwwwllllll.
one the one hand, summer is "finally" coming. with that, more humidity, intolerable heat, and dehydration will follow. in addition, boys and girls, start keeping track of your sunsets! the day length will get shorter and shorter from today and on. man, that sucks. i didnt think our day light was that long to begin with!!! soon it will be snowing again. :(
so last night i stayed at barbarini's. this morning we woke up super early-- way too early for us night owls-- to swim this other lady from our tri group. it was very hard to start moving around that early in the morning, particularly also im the kind that need an hr or so to fully "wake up" and "catch up" after i open my eyes. our morning swim went fairly well, actually. once i warmed up, i think i felt better. i still need to work on my strokes, as for some reason my arms get to tired when pulling through water. sigh... i think i may need a private swim technique session with our instructor. BAHHHH, money! :(
after our swim and run, it's "take christine to work day." woohoo. i went with barbsbie to her favorite boofoo starbucks in libertyville. she worked while i read national geographic, newspaper, and ate. i forgot how interesting national geo magazines are!!! we used to subscribe to them in HS. maybe i should start again... assuming that i read.
after lying around at starbucks, i finally decided to drive home. of course, got stuck in traffic again and got extremely drowsy. sigh.. i really hate traffic jam. it's not calming at all! since my day started super early, i decided to take a nap after i got home. of course, i was OUT like a light! SOOO tired! then i met wendy downtown for another bike ride along lake michigan after her pilates.
man, im starting to think that perhaps i am experiencing circa-quarter century (since im well over qtr century old) crisis. im not really anywhere in my life-- yes im in school but school just seems to last forever; i dont know what i wanna do after graduation; or where to live (although barbsbie portrayed a picture perfect version of my life as her neighbor in boofooland. then again, "if" we were neighbors, our dreams of sky bridge linking our cherry/dark wood libraries and museum of ancient maps named after our weird, un-pronouncible maiden names could come true); dont know what i want in life (besides shiny things and... err...); i have no real possessions; i want attention but no suffocation. basically, i dont know what i want. i wonder if all this pseudo exercising is an attempt to make me feel better about my inner and outer image. unfortunately, there are tons of people that dont workout and still look good inside and outside, w/o even trying! eh...

weeeee... gotta wake up soon to go to the new studne orientation in the morning... YAWN.
