saturday was the final push to study for chem...woke up late-ish for me...had two cups of coffee...breakfast...then i was going to study but found that the house was too much of a mess to concentrate...so the cleaning happened first...j pitched in...and it went fast...and it made me happy to study in a clean house...we left the huge pile of laundry...it was clean it just needed to be folded...we both hate this job...it would happen later...
got down to business with the studies...took a break to watch Ironman World Championship on TV...weird A) to watch TV B) to watch TV in the middle of the day...weird...but it was a good mental break...met up with a friend from chem at 5 to just go over some final stuff...we studied for about an hour...then got coffee...then it was time..
the exam went surprisingly well....this scares me a little...i took my time...and did the calculations a few times to check my answers...stayed...checking over all my other answers until about 9.30...then i was done...woo...very happy....had a celebratory gin and tonic (or two)...and went to bed
sunday...i needed to get a run in...but was enjoying my morning...so i put it off for a while...and just relaxed for a little...wow...that never happens...i hadn't run since wednesday so i wasn't going to run 13...i decided to just run 6...and see how i was feeling...it went well...not fast...my quads were still feeling a little sore....seriously...it has been an insane recovery from core class...so i made sure to ice bath when i got home...
did groceries with j at whole foods...yum...then got to hang out with erin...we are going on a cooking journey together...i'm very excited...looked over some of the recipies that she had cut out to get a feeling of what appeals to her...checked out her pantry and equipment...to get a feel for where we were starting from...very good potential...pulled at least 5 cookbooks down off the shelf when i got home...ready to mark and alter so we can start cooking next week...oh yeah...
i was feeling super great...and went online to check out home my teammates had done in the dallas marathon...and the worst thing happened...this is really sad...one of our teammates...who was 29...collapsed at mile 21...and could not be revived...she died just before noon...i'm totally shocked...confused and saddened by this...it freaks me out that this could happen...so of course i am going to schedule a physical and make j do it too...i still have to try and wrap my head around it all...for now...i am remembering the spin classes we did together...the night a z-tejas when we had some drinks...and the time i spent with her...my thoughts are with her husband...and all of her family....
spent the rest of the evening with j...and he gave me a new toy...a lil lenovo ideapad s10...10 inches big and about one pound...if you have ever seen the one laptop per child machine...it's about that size....tiny and amazing...next semester's note taking is going high-tec...and it's blue and super cool...
we made a yummy dinner together...tackled the huge pile of laundry and just enjoyed hanging out...
