Random Updates
- There is pollen everywhere. The deck is yellow. The truck is yellow. UGH there's tree spooge on everything! Though, knowing Florida, there will be a major cold snap at some point before Spring really gets into gear. So I guess I'll just live with it being uncomfortably humid for a while.
- I was not 100% certain what a "bralette" is but I bought a couple online. My command of the English language tells me it's a diminutive of "brassiere" but not much else. They look like a cross between a tube top and a scarf - at least the ones I picked out did. I figure I've lost enough weight and gained enough definition in my arms to wear something like that, so what the hell. Anyway, they prevent people from seeing your nipples, which is apparently the single most important thing for anyone who is perceived as female.

I survived RunDisney! Holy shit, it was cold. I have been cold in my life but the morning of the 5k was practically Arctic when you consider this is Orlando/Kissimmee we're talking about. Happily Fox found a huge pack of those Hot Hands things, so I stuffed some in my gloves, in my shoes, and even found the stick-on kinds to burrito myself with while waiting in the corrals. They gave out mylar wraps, too - a lot like the emergency blankets you find in first aid kits, but it was so cold that they mostly served as windbreakers. I managed to fold mine up and use it the whole weekend, but wound up giving it to someone else the day of the full marathon because the lady looked like she was going to actually, literally turn into a solid block of ice.
- I really should get a medal rack for those things.
- Running in the Gate River Run 15k this March! :D Because I have very weird ideas of what "fun" is. But we get to run over the Main St. and Hart bridges, which will be cool. (BEEP BEEP I'M A CAR)
- We're in Spring Cleaning mode here which means each week involves trips to the dump or various donation places. I've got a bed headboard to try to unload this week, plus some musical instruments and more books. I already took so many boxes of books to Chamblin's that I racked up over a hundred bucks in store credit. I'm just sort of at a loss as to what to do with the clarinet, bass clarinet, and guitar. I think there's a keyboard, too. Maybe the pawn shop? No idea. :P
