OMG, I'm tired!

Well, work was okay. I got out of the engineering review tomorrow cause my project is on time and under budget so I can just work on the project versus working on slides to talk about said project. I scheduled a business trip to Virginia (blacksburg area) for the 20-22. Found out that mel will be at some base somewhere from 22-24...which is the sad. I hope our hotel has a work out room. Anyhoo.
Did errands after work which were to involve Kiwi Knit Shop and GNC. But the actually involved driving to Kiwi and noting that they were closed until the 11th. Sighs. Then I drove to the mall and while chatting with Ari on the phone I ran into icka. Which was cool. She found some neato stuff at Cato for her work outfit and we parted ways at GNC. I headed there to get a small container of protein powder since I've figured out what I like and got a shaker cup with one of the wire balls for mixing. I liked shanda's. Then on a whim I had a 10 Minute massage from the Chi Masters (chinese massage guys) and man did that feel good. I will probably go back to them when I have time for a full 30 min. It was so nice and it relaxed my shoulders which I knew were tight. Biking and pushups just do that too me.
Then I headed to eddie bauer to check out their sale and I found I fit into a size smaller than I expected shorts and bought them and got a new water bottle for cheap. After that I headed to ELYS. And was pleasantly surprised...the cranky gal didn't seem to be helping customers and the gal that helped me understood my needs and showed me the parts of the store for what I needed. Now, its funny. They have crochet classes and it says "crochet friendly" on the door but yanno...doesn't that mean you should be selling crochet hooks? WTF? But it was a good experience there for once but the did not have any of the sock yarns I've been hearing about on Knitmore Girls so I will hope that Kiwi has them. I might have to make a trip out next tuesday to see them.
Got home and changed to do some weight training and did that and ab stuff for 30mins. Had dinner and then it was time to get ready for practice. It was hella humid...but I took breaks to get air and water and cool my head off. I was sweating but it wasn't getting through all of my layers, like my kerchief I wear over my hair. So I kept soaking it. I fought 5 folks about 5-6 passes each throughout the night. Not bad. After a few times on my knees I needed to not do that any more...plus Oslaf hit me in my right knee (its pretty blue right now on the side) and zippy hit my in the left on the side but its okay. I'm sore in the arms and legs from the last few work outs but its the good, I used those muscles sore. I got a little nauseous towards the end...not sure if it was too much water or what but I pushed through. Poor mel wasn't so lucky.
He got too tired and just worn out about 30 mins before me. He was cooling down and talking with the possible man-at-arms about armor etc but he was DONE. I got off the field cooled down, chatted with HE
atensibilla and
thyririgain and then I dragged his butt home. He was pretty unable to talk when we drove home and he got his armor stored and cats fed and curled up on the floor in the family room. I do mean curled up, like fetal position. So, being the good wife, I figured he'd overheated. So I got an ice pack out and put it on his neck and that started to bring him around. We sat for quite a while while he moved the ice about his head and was very happy to see him hit the "I can communicate" stage. He got a quick, cool shower and I think he was asleep before I started reading.
I slept well but I was sore so I tossed a bit. I really, really didn't want to get out of bed this morning...neither did the girls, they were pretty snuggly. But here we are at work. I forgot to refil my Kashi container for work so no crunchies in my yogurt. Sighs. Oh, well. I have lots of meetings today so that should make the day quick. I hope to get get home, do my work out tape, eat dinner and head to grandma's until kung fu. It will be good. After kung fu I think it will be early bedtime and maybe a bit of laundry. The fighting clothes are already in the washer, I just need to turn it on.
