Three Days til Spring Break

meisajDaily Life

Friday is the start of Spring Break.

The weather forecast is not promising. Saturday and Sunday it’ll be almost 50 degrees (Fahrenheit).  Monday through Wednesday low 40’s and wet.  Thursday through next Sunday it’ll be in the 50’s and wet.

I’ll say it.  A crappy spring break.  I’m not going anywhere for Break.  I was planning on having a Break similar to last years.  Just bike everyday and hope to get close to 200 miles in one week.  However, I won’t get on the bike until it is at least in the mid 40’s.  And not until it’s dry.  I have a new bike waiting to be picked up on layaway, but I’m not going to get it until I can ride it consistently.

Ohhh.. did I tell you I have two dental appointments.  Getting some cavities taken care of (not new cavities mind you, old ones that were filled once and need to have them replaced) and getting a crown on my first root canal (it never had a crown on it).  That’s exciting, in that kind of not really sort of way.

I’ll figure something out.  Damn you mother nature for not cooperating.  Its spring dammit, start acting like it.

Dear Warm Fluffy Blue Towel

Dear Warm Fluffy Blue Towel,

I hate you.  You’re only warm because you’re in the bathroom, the smallest room of the apartment with its own heater.  And your fluffiness, oh you’re soft, so very soft, but you don’t dry at all.  I hate stepping out of the shower and trying to dry off with you. You just don’t do the job well.

Now, Grating Tan Towel, well… I feel you rip off a few layers of skin when I dry off with you.  But at least I’m dry.  So I’ll choose you over Blue Towel any day.

Your Friend and Mine,

AJ

At work we fill out out NCAA brackets every March. I don’t follow basketball at any level, so my picks are more guesses than anything else.

Like a school name… Picked them to win.

Bad memories associated with that state… They’re going to lose.

Louisville. Number one for a reason.

Picked to win.

Muscle Twitch

meisajDaily Life

For the last several days I’ve had a weird muscle twitch in my arm.  It is in my triceps on my left arm.  Just random twitches, usually two or three in a row.

Its nothing big, and really has no impact except that it’s annoying.  I’ve read differing reasons on the internets why this could happen, mostly that it could be dehydration.  I drink a lot of water but maybe that is what’s going on.

Just… weird.

Feeling a muscle twitch for a second or two and then stop is bizarre.

Asleep

meisajDaily Life

I can fall asleep anywhere.  It’s impressive when you think about it.

I’ve fallen asleep in church (not that impressive).

In a moving car (some people can’t).

Standing Up.

When someone is talking to me (again, not that impressive).

Immersed in back and forth conversation with someone.

Mid-sentence. (that one surprises even me)

While getting a haircut (that was yesterday).

While getting stitches in my chin (that one surprised the doctor putting the stitches in, it was a first for him).

I even have those quick dreams that make quasi sense, building off of what I was just doing.  I had a dream once while I was laying on the floor talking a friend.  I just sort of stopped talking (fell asleep mid-sentence) and had the “walking off a cliff dream” where I was walking and then shook myself awake because in my dream the floor was yanked out from under me and I started falling.

Its not narcolepsy.  I’m just that awesome when it comes to sleeping.
