Yea, I made it through a week alone! Yes, I've done it before, but I was feeling pretty low about it last Sunday (Easter) after I took Sweetie to the airport that morning. Had almost a whole day alone and of course, I didn't use it productively to study. At first I was wondering while I was feeling so low since Sweetie had just left, but I realized it was the prospect of his being gone for over a week (he returns Sunday night - tomorrow! yea!) that really was making me miss him.So Sunday was sucky, but having to go to work the rest of the week actually helped me keep it together and not get bogged down in loneliness. I worked out every day too, which may have helped my mood. So anyway, here I am having made it through to Saturday and expecting a visit from my mom and my sister! I have class this afternoon, but they will be here when I get back. Their visit will be brief (they're leaving early tomorrow to avoid driving in a predicted storm), but it will be good to see them as I haven't seen them since Christmas - that's almost 4 months! ("Up to 4 months!" TV commercial reference... 2 points if you can get it.)********************I had a little freak-out on Wednesday night working on the homework that's due today. I felt as if I had forgotten everything I learned or just totally missed something I should have learned. I was starting to panic so in desperation, I e-mailed this girl in my class who very kindly e-mailed me back (she wrote "don't panic!") and cleared things up for me. Turns out, I was doing it right, but I thought it had to be harder than that.********************On the fitness front, I am still totally kicking butt. I worked out 5 times this week, and lost another pound. Yesterday this girl at work said I looked thinner so that was nice to hear. I think it will be good to have a day (or two) off from working out because my treadmill workout yesterday was really tough on my feet. I walked at 4 mph for 17 minutes, interspered with 3 one-minute 5 mph running intervals, all at a 2% incline. This was after 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer. I know 3 minutes of running doesn't sound like much, but it does wear me out. I made sure I took the time to stretch afterward even though I just wanted to get home, but my feet still feel a little sore, or maybe not sore exactly, but tired.********************Off to school now!Watching: Poirot: Murder on the Links starring David Suchet.Labels: family, life at home, physical fitness, school posted by Miss Rachel 4/14/2007 08:58:00 AM . . .
