Rolling with the Punches

I was so proud of myself for actually hydrating properly last night, laying out my running clothes, and setting an alarm clock to make sure I did not sleep through my run. I fully intended to set out on my 6 mile run at 5:30 am. I wanted to be done running before the sun came up because right now the sun and I aren’t friends. At all.

I managed to get up as planned and started getting dressed. I had a cup of tea and checked my emails. Things were going well until…thunder and rain. No biggie. It rains all the time in Florida. It usually ends as quickly as it begins. Nope. Not this morning. It’s now 7:20 and has been raining for about 2 hours.

I don’t mind running in the rain. It’s actually preferable to heat. Around 6ish the rain slowed some so I headed out. Once I got up the street, I got thunder and lightning. Sigh. Back inside I went. I won’t run in lightning. Too dangerous. It seems like I made the right choice since the storm just got worse.

So, with that, I’ll be running this evening. Not my favorite time to run (I actually run WAY faster in the evening though). Meh…whatever. I’m more upset that I got up early and couldn’t go back to sleep after realizing I’d be rained out.

Since I was up early, I decided to get shit done. One of my favorite things to do. You’ll notice a new template and updated links (let me know if I missed anyone). I also updated my version of WordPress. I’ll try to take some pictures to rotate out in the header this weekend. I want to update the about me page and a couple of other things, too.

I still have about 30 minutes to kill so I’m going to load my dishwasher, clean my bathroom, make my bed (what???), and fold some laundry. All of this productivity is kind of awesome. Plus my house will be clean.

Any blogs that I should be reading? Do you want to be added to my links? If I missed you let me know.

    Holy shit! I’m actually sitting down to do some blogging! What the hell? Everyday, I think if pulling the plug on this blog, but I just can’t do it. It’s ALWAYS been here. I’ve blogged for 10 years. I try to get my mojo going, but I just can’t find it. So, it will just[...]

  • Birth of the Cool by GeekGirl

      The first time I heard Birth of the Cool, it kind of sorta blew my itty bitty mind. What many of you probably don’t know is that I’m a HUGE music lover. I’m kind of a snob. Not in that indie, hipster – I heard it first way. No. In that, holy shit that[...]

  • 2012 Review and… Zzz… by GeekGirl

    I can’t even pretend to give a shit about reviewing my 2012. What can really be said about it? My dog died and I lost a close friend. Otherwise, 2012 was just there. I’m sure I’ll forget it in another week or so. So, what does 2013 have in store? Another big fat who gives[...]

  • Huh… by GeekGirl

    I keep logging in to post and realizing that I have absolutely nothing to say. My life is really and truly that dull. I get up, go to work, go home. Lather, rinse, repeat. I’m trying to squeeze in runs and some weights. Things are still difficult since Ms. Willow still thinks that I should[...]

  • Not So Easy 2 Miles by GeekGirl

    Since getting Ms. Willow Rosenberg (my beagle is Jewish, yo!) it has been extremely difficult for me to run, go to the gym, get groceries, or well anything that involved me leaving the house without her. The minute I would set foot out the door she would start howling. Honestly, this was not a problem[...]

  • She Lives!!!! by GeekGirl

    Wow! Where the hell have I been. I really think that is the longest I’ve gone without blogging in years. So, why so quiet? Because there is not very much going on here. I continue to work on Willow’s separation issues. The vet has prescribed what is basically puppy prozac. I’m happy to say that[...]

  • Life With Willow by GeekGirl

    As we all know, I got a new pup after Gio passed away. (May he RIP. I still cry at least once a week for him. I know that’s depressing, but damn it! I still miss the Notorious LIG (Little Italian Greyhound.)) She is a beagle named Willow. I got her at 6 months old[...]

  • Da Fuck? by GeekGirl

    Lots of stuff going on around here. There is a big post coming up about life with Willow. I just gotta get Photoshop activated on this new laptop (the fruit of working 20 days in a row!) as well as the rest of my must have barebone design stuff. Here’s a hint: Willow and I[...]
