it lets me know i’m alive!

Current mood:unstoppable!

so far so good. two good days in a row!

yesterday i went to the beat kitchen to see some friends play and wish rich a happy birthday. i had a nice time, drank some hamm's and stopped for a spicy burrito on the way home.

the dentist was out of town today, so i got to sleep late, which was awesome! seriously, i stayed curled up under the quilt until like 1030! i can't even remember the last time that happened! my room was so dark from the blanket i use as a curtain, and the oscelating fan was circulating lots of cool air.

i responded to three ads on craigslist for roommates wanted, so that was productive. i already have plans to meet up with one of the girls on sunday to check the place out.

i went to the gym and swam 2000y in 35 min. i wonder a little lately if i am working out too much. my stomach is flatter and firmer than it has been since i stopped swimming but i feel like my arms and shoulders are starting to get a little toner/larger. i was really uncomfortable with myself physically when i was swimming competitively, but the past few years since i stopped my arms and shoulder shrunk to a size i was very pleased with. no one has said i look hoss or anything, and i know i don't, but i think i may need to cut back a little.

i feel really unstoppable right now. even if i'm not necessarily all the way in a place i want to be in my life, i'm not scared. i feel really calm about where i'm going, even if certain outcomes aren't what i would prefer, i know i will rise above. i am making changes and taking action to get to a better place physically, emotionally, mentally.

i am looking forward to fun social events in the coming weeks including fun shows such as mauled by tigers, tattoos, trips to milwaukee to sing along to ergs with cute sweaty punk rock boys in a hot basement and to south city to attend karen's 30th b-day luau.

also, the olympics for swimming start on 8.9. i am so amped!! i am anxious to see just how fast the water cube really is. i read an article about the engineering of it and it sounds amazing. the pool in athens was a freakin' joke, and the chinese have gone to great measures to build some amazing looking structures. the cube, coupled with the new lzr suits and the build up that is olympic competition, world records are going to drop like flies in beijing!

two good days in row. score one for susan!
