I really don't have any good excuse...I could very easily create some random crazy story about why I haven't been able to write lately...and since my life is usually a bit on the random crazy side anyway, there would be no telling the difference. But...I will be honest - I just haven't had time!
How in the world an entire month has slipped past me is beyond me, but it has, so here we are.
What has been going on...
Rowing...as it turns out after all my efforts and extensive training...it turns out that I really don't like rowing too much....go figure?
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the french man that kept getting the spot behind me. He had what can only be described as an superhuman reach and an uncanny ability to ALWAYS be out of time with the rest of us. End result...i had bruises on my back for a week since he kept slamming his uncoordinated super outstretched fists into me!! I'm not even exaggerating...like I ever do:)...the cox (the chick at the front that yells stroke...stroke...stroke) she even yelled at him twice and then told him to stop rowing since he was so out of time!
But it wasn't just frenchie that got to me...the logistics were a nightmare, too. Its the first time I actually sort of missed driving. The rowing club is only 8 miles from my flat...it took me 52 minutes to traverse those 8 little miles. I just figured that there are better ways to waste 104 minutes of my time twice a week.
Besides, the few people that I met rowing aren't joining either...we have decided to be rowing outcasts together.
Besides the rowing and masses amount of work I've been doing lately...you heard me...my workaholic tendencies are creeping back!! I know! I know!!! I swore it would never happen!! I am wearing a watch and drinking coffee now!!! Its a whole new world!!
But never fear...its not for the long term. I am in a bit of a crunch is all and it should be back to more normal hours in the next couple months...
Next couple months you say?!!? Well yes....simply because this Thursday will find me kicking off a 10 day trip to Greece and then when I get back, I will be in 5 countries in 5 weeks for work!
So as you can see...my next couple of busy months aren't so bad....busy...but what a way to be busy!
Now with that mini update, I am off to try to finish some laundry and figure out what else I need to get for My Big Fat Greece Vacation!!
