I HATE SHOPPING!!

Last night, I had to go shopping for a few of the many things on my list to buy for training. The only part I enjoyed? Shopping for my truck. What can I say, I shop like a guy. My idea of shopping is limited to electronics, trucks, Jeeps and motorcycles. Maybe someday when I have some money for 1 of each of those. At the moment, I have my truck and a few minor electronics. I went shopping for new running shoes, hoping that they would help.... right. Well,we shall see. I'll be leaving in a few minutes to do my daily torture.... running. And whose idea was it to run in the heat of the day? Not mine. Although if it was up to me, I'd skip the whole damn thing.

My knee is not quite as big as it was before. It is by no means back to its original size, but better. I'm attempting to run tonight without the brace... living on the dangerous side tonight. This is probably not the smartest idea I ever had. That, and I agreed to "walk around the block" with my dad on Saturday morning. My block is 7 miles. AND, the ice cream store will still be CLOSED when we get there. :( The ice cream store is about the halfway mark. It's all uphill (or should I say mountain) from there. I think I was on something when I agreed to that.

Didn't get to work much with my dad today. Had to work with one of their employees.... don't like him. He drives worse than my brother! And those of you who know my brother probably can't believe that anyone drives worse than him. For those of you who don't know, my brother has wrecked, at least twice, every one of the 5 vehicles that he has owed, plus his ex-fiancee's truck and 2 of my mom's cars. His latest vehicle (that has been wrecked, although minor, 2 times already) is only a year old and he has already blown up the engine. And, his previous truck was wrecked more times than I can count and was at one point hanging off a cliff (why anyone would give my brother car insurance is BEYOND me). This employee is WORSE!!! I refused to get in the car with him today. I took my own truck instead... OTHERWISE, I was going to drive HIS truck. I'd swear they learned to drive in Pittsburgh.

There just aren't enough hours in the day. I haven't opened a book or my WIP since I got to my parents. When I am not working, I'm unpacking, repacking, shopping for stuff to pack or running my ass off. I feel really guilty about not getting anything done, but I need to sleep sometime, right? I only spend about 5-10 minutes every other day on the net to update my blog and check my email. Geez, even if I stopped doing that, 1o minutes isn't long enough to get anything done on my WIP. *sigh* Maybe, someday.

Off to run in this God forsaken heat and humidity. Welcome to Flood City.
