how bizarre

ok so had the most bizarre dream last night. i drempt that i was in an orchestra and playing an oboe again. the thing about it is that i HATED playing the oboe during band and so badly wanted to be part of percussion. and during marching band (YES, another reminder that i was and am a dork!) loved being a bass drum. anyway, so there i was sitting in the orchestra with the oldest reed ever and thought to myself.....wow, i really kinda want to play today. so i go rushing around to try to find a reed that actually does work (cause the one i had on my oboe didn't at all and i was just pretending to play). as i'm rushing around, i find this kitten and somehow decide i have to take care of it. my mom shows up in a bmw (no clue where that came from) and she's jetting me around to find kitten supplies and a reed and i'm freaking out that i'm going to be late for the performance - which has somehow transformed into a performance for the army!!!! anyway, so i find a reed and i'm carrying the kitten around in a bag (again i don't know why) and i couldn't find where i was supposed to go for the concert and am again freaking out. i finally find the place, realize it's dumb for me to be taking the kitten with me and don't know why i didn't leave it with mom and begin to freak out that the kitten will start to meow and make noise and ruin the concert! then i woke up.........VERY bizarre! not sure why i shared but there ya go!

the day has been interesting and i'm already ready for it to be over. i ended up slacking last night and had a few beers and a chicken sandwich instead of working out in the rain. so to make up, i have to push myself the rest of the week and the weekend (since it'll probably be raining throughout the weekend workouts with TEAM). so, tonight i'm headed to dinner with chris and cathryn and then off to the gym. guessing chris wanted an early dinner since he probably has to work and forgot. have to do some running around (party city, target, costco) for third weekend since i volunteered to make sure everything is perfect for the dinner and picnic. it's fun but i have to learn to start saying NO occasionally and realize that i do have limitations to my time as much as i'd love to be involved with everything and help everyone else out. i have got to start setting limitations to what i agree to with my time. me time is important!!

i'm starting to worry that my challenge with trouble isn't going as well on my side as it is his (cause i'm a slacker). two months for as drastic a change as i'd set up in my head now seems a little ridiculous. i'm gonna keep on working out and training and we'll see how that ends up. he's still in training and wentworth is still missing in action.

well, i'm ready to leave and head to sushi......i just wish work would go by more quickly.
