jeffy

Business (in the sense of having been busy) delayed this week's first run until tonight (too late at night, quoth B) when I went here. This week, instead of having each day be the same hopelessly confusing jumble, each day is simple, but different from the others. Today's run was 3 5-minute runs separated by 3-minute rests. Next one is longer runs and shorter rests and the third is just one long run. I felt slow tonight, but other than that everything seemed fine.

Let's see, what else has been happening... Monday night I went to a practice session with the drum group I started playing with 12 or 13 years ago and haven't played with for like 8 years. That was kind of a trip. They're working on a piece that goes through half a dozen complex 2-bar phrases before repeating so there was no way I was going to just jump into that. But it was kind of fun playing support for a change (a friend and I push leadership duties back and forth between us in our usual group).

Tuesday night was our usual drumming group's first session in a while and it was fun having half a dozen people so we could play some of the pieces with that many parts for the first time in ages. As soon as drumming was over (in fact we kind of had to cut it short) we scampered off to the IMAX theater in Seattle to see Star Trek on the REALLY big screen. Pretty fun. There are some minor annoyances, but it was definitely entertaining.

The other thing that's been going on this week is that B started in on the Curves diet so I've been trying to keep her fed in accordance with that. It's markedly different from our usual fare (vegetables! small portions! variety!) Today I finally managed to do the epic shopping run that I've needed to keep her from having to eat the same thing at every meal. Spent the evening cleaning veggies and pre-cooking all the stuff that can be so she should be good for a few days.

Looks like we're going to go stay with B's sister for a few days. Gotta decide what projects to take along.
