I just can't say no. An extra project at work? SURE! Freelance on the side?? Sign me up! Volunteer?? How could i say no?
I had a pretty jam-packed weekend. I had a lovely but freezing cold 11 mile run on Saturday. (cut back week FTW!) Then i went and got groceries so that Matt and i stop snacking on random things instead of making dinner. Then i did the laundry and cleaned. By the time i was done, it was time to meet up with my fellow wolf-pack mate ashley who was in town. We went record shopping and scored some Bob Seger to cheer up Matt:
We found it at Logan Hardware, which consenquently has a free vintage arcade in a secret back room. When you buy a record you are allowed entry into this secret room! I played frogger and donkey kong
On sunday i ended up working all morning, skipping cross-training and yoga. I suck. Then i had to prep the house for book club - major cleaning and cooking. I ended going to bed well past midnight every night (which is unheard of for me!!)
Which brings me to my current predicament. I am doing some freelance work on the side for a week. The downside is that it is time consuming, so i am losing sleep, and slacking at running (and blogging and everything else) The plus side is that i am basically paying for my trip to Ireland in the fall.
Would you submit yourself to a week of hell with the promise of a future vacation? Am i bananas? Either way, this is all i have time to write because i am SLAMMED!
i would totes do that. think: IRELAND! it's gonna be awesome and I am so super jealous. can you do an extra week for freelance so you can also pay for my trip to come with too?
ReplyDeleteYES! You can be my beer girl! (like a water boy, only you can give me beers!)
DeleteI would do LOTS for the promise of a vacation. Jealous!
ReplyDeleteYeah, i keep reminding myself it will be so worth it 6 months from now!
DeleteIf it was only a week and it was going to pay me a large enough sum to do something I'd been dreaming of? You bet I'd put a social life and working out on hold!
ReplyDeleteI just hope i don't regret this week of pitiful training in the middle of the marathon! :D "damn you March 5th, damn youuuuuu"
DeleteDITTO what everyone else is saying! But... it still sucks so b*tch away my friend! I am crap on little sleep, so I feel ya ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you, but i become an insane person when i don't sleep. It would be funny if it wasn't me doing it!
