It's supposed to be dry today (after rain all day yesterday), so I'll probably do a few more hours of garden work for that one customer. I keep going back and forth between "no, don't wanna" and "yay, extra money". While I'm doing it, I don't mind the work, but I don't like coming home late.
Well, today is the last day I can do it, anyway. Other stuff getting in the way the rest of the week, and I already told her that I won't be able to do anything from next week on, as I'll probably have to work overtime at the nursery.

Well work is back to semi-normal now. Coworker had to go out of state on family business so I had to take over her duties. Not at all hard, but it definitely made the days go by faster as I actually had stuff to do. Now I'm back to looking up ISBNs *eyeroll* Oh the excitement! Boss had given me a task, to reconcile a specific vendor account that we do a TON of business with, and was expecting it to take forever and be really complicated, as that account had never been reconciled. The worst part was finding out the 3 "companies" (really divisions) were all on one statement from the vendor... After that, it went quickly and there were exactly 0 issues.
And I finally muddled my way through that other vendor mess (them not billing us correctly, us not billing customer correctly, ughh it was a nightmare) and found out what REALLY happened, why it happened, and how we can settle it. Now it's just up to the higher ups to read through what I found and decide how and when to settle the matter so I can FORGET ABOUT IT until September when the customer renews their contract...

I just wanted to sand the game pieces in a game I have, so I can paint them another color (as I have the game twice and want to make it a four-player game, instead of a two-player game). But it's raining, so I couldn't do it outside, and don't want all the dust inside the house. Guess it will have to wait.

When you're done, you totally have to bring it to the very next gamesday. Megafjords FTW!

So I went to the gym for the first time EVER this morning before work. Rode the elliptical, felt like I was gonna die, lol. Gonna have to ease my way into doing cardio, since I've never really worked out before. Lifting some heavy things is on the schedule for tomorrow! (Ok, heavy relative to my strength...)

Put the first layer of paint on my Fjord game. And yes, Aan, I'll definitely bring it along the next time I come round!

Yeah, I have to do the dishes too. And I really have to find some time this weekend to repot my seedlings.

Oof. Day 2 of gym workouts. Today was arms... Military dumbell presses, lateral raises, shrugs, bicep curls (on the machine), and 5 min of elliptical. Am quite pooped, but not feeling discouraged! I was able to complete all the reps/sets I told myself except for my very very last 20lb curl. It was hard work, but I feel like I actually accomplished something, whereas when I rode the exercise bike yesterday I was bored to tears and got off feeling like all I did was tire myself out... Nothing was sore, just tired.

Fiancee pointed out something interesting to me. A couple things, first off that I was one of 5 total girls that did any lifting vs the 15 or so guys that came and went in the 45 min we were there. Second, that of all the guys that were there, only 3 (including fiancee) did exercises that were not benchpresses or dumbell curls. Of the girls, 1 was grandma-aged that was doing lat pull downs (like a boss!), 1 was doing cardio, 1 was doing light weights (relatively in shape, so since she seemed to have been working out for a while, she should've been able to do more), 1 came in towards the end and was working out with her hubby using some arm/leg machine, and the last was me. But basically... almost everyone seemed to be doing very specific workouts (guys working only arms/chest, girls doing things in their plans their trainer gave them) whereas we both would like to do full body strengthening. Not that that's all bad but... so what if your arms are strong if you have no back strength or leg strength? So many people are in it to look better, not necessarily feel better or be stronger.

Well if you're going to put plants in the bathtub, you should make them aquatic plants so you can sit in the tub too! ... Right?

Hm, now there is an idea... are there water plants that can live in hot water...?

Hello Minters!

And finally, the last plants are showered, and shopping is done. On the way home, I learned that metal plant stakes are less sturdy than bicycle spokes, but that's a good thing - the stake slipped and got caught in the rear wheel, which could have had a nasty ending, either for me or the bicycle, or both, but instead, the stake just bent and then broke.

*falls face-forward in huggle-trap*

Waaahhhhhh!! What happened!

Oh yeah, right... I've been missing...

Can't believe I missed three whole pages.... trying to catch up took quite some time... pffff....

Really sorry for my utter lack of beinghereness lately......

Back now!!
