Friday, a day off

[jaina]

Winning at being a Grown Up: Today I got my car serviced (routine maintenance) and went to the doctor (sinus infection, bleah), both of which I'd been putting off for ages. Yay!

Failing at being a Grown Up: Trying to go into work on my day off and discovering when I got there that I didn't have my badge and keys. I still haven't found them. Boo. :(

I just finished making my 50th Pennyblossom. A couple weeks back, EW.com posted a Big Bang Theory gift guide, and they linked my Pennyblossoms! ("For: Someone who knows who Radiohead is.") That led to a very nice uptick in business, which has been pretty awesome. It would have been more awesome if my actual job hadn't suddenly gotten crazy busy at the same time, but whatever, I can sleep later.

Speaking of sleep, I have an 11-mile run at 6:45 am, so I should really go to bed. (I never thought I'd get to the point where 11 miles seemed blessedly short, but here I am. Last week was 19 miles. That one was tough, NGL.)

congrats on the penny Blossoms! I get compliments on mine ALL THE TIME!

Oh I hear you - today we're doing 12-14, and I'm just so happy it's not 20.

Thanks darling! This coming Saturday is only 14 but I know the week after is another long one, and I'm kinda scared. :-/

I showed our wine-n-dine race photos to some of my coworkers (they run, too) and they loved our tutus and your pirate hat!

wait - when is your race? and how may more super long runs are you doing??? Because you may have done enough already...

Awww, YAY! I miss running with you. :(

It's 39 days till the race-- end of January. I'm pretty sure our schedule calls for one more really long run before then. IDK, I just run what the group schedule tells me to. :)

I miss running with you too! Cannot WAIT for the Princess!

Well, I'm sure you are totally already doing this - just be careful not to over do it. I only say this because I totally did before my first marathon & could barely walk in the weeks following it, much less run for a couple months. So maybe I'm just paranoid...

HOLY CRAP MY MARATHON IS IN 3 WEEKS! I'm soooo not prepared...
