Up early this morning to run and get to work early for a meeting (I was in the office at 8:30, which is unheard of for me). Forgot, as usual, to body glide my thighs before the run; I always seem to remember that about 5-6 minutes into a run... Anyway, was irritating, but not fatal to the run. Did discover that my usual running path is very well lit, even before the sun comes up.

Inside scoop on the budget is that we should have our full-year CR the last week or January, or by February 1st. Which is good, since the executive budget proposal comes out on February 5th.

Swam after work. Also expressed a bit of irritation with some of the leadership of my tri club. I volunteered with our new triathlete program this past year, was in fact one of the co-leaders. Had attempted to get in touch with the other co-leaders in early December, was not quite blown off, and now suddenly a couple dates have been set for things for this year already, without any attempt to involve me. I let them know I was disappointed. I'm still going to help out, and hopefully I'll still be a co-leader this year as I really do believe in the program, but was not pleased at how that was handled.

That said, if you're in the DC area and you want to try your hand at triathlons, drop me a note.

Nice dinner just up the street tonight with MG. He's currently off at the grocery store picking up snack stuffs. I'm trying to cool the apartment down - it's in the low-to-mid-60s outside, but in the middle 70s in here. Too. Freakin'. Hot. This is supposed to be January, not April, ferheavenssake. At least it'll be nice to get out on the bike tomorrow morning.

Not quite done with the Uberlist for this year, have about a third of the way to go yet, but have ideas to go do file. This weekend I should be able to post it, I hope.

Strikeouts are those items which did not get done, for one reason or another...

I should update those things I've already done on the Uberlist, but I'll save that for later.

Richard came back in the apartment yesterday morning to tell me the wonderful news that they were painting the bed bug boys' apartment and that the boys were now gone. Hooray! Keep your fingers crossed that the next person/bunch is better than this previous group was.

I'm still vascillating on the whole buying real estate thing, though am leaning more heavily toward buying. The listings aren't bad, and reading more on the subject makes me more hopeful. Chatted with my bank about some short-term investment options as well, and the rates don't seem terribly useful for that at the moment. Of course, the flip side of that is that borrowing rates for mortgages aren't too terrible, either.

Today was the last day of physical therapy left from the car accident last month. Loved the therapist, she was very helpful, and we (finally) went over more stretches for my IT bands that should help with that little problem. Overall she seemed pleased with the stretching I'm doing now after we went over it, which was good to see.

Otherwise I'm staying busy between training and gearing up for the new triathlete program (sign-ups begin next week!).

Got hit with a big nasty right before I left work. Won't go into details (not that I ever do, with work), but I actually brought work home tonight.

Yes, I'm as shocked as you are, gentle reader.

Thankfully this isn't the norm for my job or I'd have to kill someone seriously consider other employment.

I see the physical therapist tomorrow. Have to have her run off a new copy of the exercises I'm to do as the original three sheets (6 per sheet) were a casualty of the exploding shampoo bottle (and did I mention that my gym bag smells of orange candy now? It does. The joys of using kids shampoo to get the chlorine out of my hair). Also checking on the progress of all the gut-sucking transverse ab work she's had me doing.

Been having too much caffeine of late, which has left me somewhat restless & anxious. The fire alarm here in the building (something was going on, fire trucks showed up, though we did not evacuate) right at 10 p.m. was not a help, either. Stayed up a bit longer to make sure we didn't need to herd the cats into carriers and head out, hence the writing, but it appears we're in the clear. In the meantime I'm listening to my "mellow" song list in iTunes and trying to put myself in the mood to sleep.

The Uberlist is down to the last 20 or so items, which is always the most difficult part to me. The big stuff is on there, now it's little things that might or might not need to go on a list. I think the uberlist idea might need to cut back by half or so or I'm not going to be able to get anywhere near finishing most items on it. While I love the concept, the sheer volume of things is a tad much to come up with.

Got up, went to pack my gym bag, and discovered that at some point in the night one of the "slimer" ghosts from the Ghostbusters movies had visited the bottom of my bag. Thankfully there wasn't much in there for the shampoo that leaked to get all over, so it was just a matter of cleaning a few things (though the toiletry kit bag is ruined) and getting the majority of the gunk out, with the major cleaning to come this evening, post-gym.

How prescient that I'd added "get a new toiletry kit bag" to the uberlist last night...
