Long Recap of Randomness
Apr. 9th, 2005 07:48 pmYeah, so... I was going to do this boring post on Thursday night but our internet was mysteriously out. So here it is.
Over the last several days there has been little more than work. I skipped the gym on Wednesday because Jen had a headache and I wanted to make her feel better. Also, I got out of work at 7:30 and just didn't feel like going at that time. I miss my Wednesday aerobics class at 7:00. On Thursday I dragged myself to the gym early because my 4:00 appointment wasn't feeling well, so I took a class called "Step Interval" at 5:00. It was a great class - it kicked my butt but didn't kill me (the perfect amount of exercise) and when I was done I was s-w-e-a-t-y. I wish I could take it every week but my 4:00 is super consistent. We watched Survivor but I couldn't comment on it because of the lack of internet, so I will say now that Stephenie is the uberchick and I just [heart] her so much.
On Friday I went to this conference called "Play Therapy and Beyond" which was boring because it was a total lecture. No interaction whatsoever. And the man was a self-titled "expert" who brought a bunch of his merch to sell and that always ticks me off. He had some good therapeutic ideas but since I work with kids under 3, it was so not helpful except to make me miss clients that can actually talk to me. Also, his play therapy tips were "directive" (which means you basically tell the kids what to play) and on top of that, seemed to heavily involve having child therapy clients watch the clinician draw pictures and make things out of clay. WTF is up with that? My colleagues and I were nonplussed, but it got me out of the office with some of the people I really like. Sweet! (And 6 CEUs - score) Last night I watched a trashy Lifetime movie with Jen called Lethal Vows after we went for a walk around Castle Island and got into a big public argument. I love those. So we came home and made a big salad and then watched WOMEN GOOD MEN BAD.
Today
Tim and I walked all over Back Bay and the South End for a couple of hours after stuffing ourselves with Coldstone Creamery. We met my Jennifer for her dinner break and ate yummy Qdoba burritos. I think I got a little sun on my cheeks. Yay! It was muy nice out today.
I also got a few minutes to talk toHopey, which was nice because I don't get to do that very often. It felt so nice when she asked me questions about how things were going with the Metformin and my health. It sounds stupid probably, but it was really nice to have someone be interested in me and concerned about how I was doing. I don't think any other friend of mine has asked about the whole PCOS thing since I got the official diagnosis and started taking the meds. So thanks, Hope, it really meant a lot to me.
I'm home now and am planning a scintillating evening in. I will probably watch The Believer in a few minutes (thank you, Netflix) with the cats, since Jen isn't big on the Nazi movies. I have Word Wars too, but I will save that one for later.
