So that happened...

The last 5-7 days have gone by kinda in a blur.  Work = Stress latley, Workouts = Good but tiring, Home Life = Hectic so I've just been keeping my head above water.  One thing I can say through all of this is thank goodness for a good workout it helps keep me balanced. 

Have you ever had those weeks where you remember something and you have to think did that happen or did I dream it?  It's just been so busy lately I find myself having to remember what happened.  I'll dream up a solution to a work problem and then get to work and expect it to be done then realize it was just a dream! 

So this happened (or did it?)

1.  I went to put a file up, then later when I needed it again I couldn't find it.  The next day I went to put my lunch in the minifridge in my office and guess what?  There was the file!!

2.  I went for a run then a bike ride and was sooooo tired that when I saw this in the parking lot:


I got really excited thinking I'd be getting some chocolate but it turns out they were just handing out flyers for a race in September...


3.  My stove sparked, made a loud bang, and died!!!  I've been cooking noodles in the microwave for dinner, beans in the crockpot, and protein shakes for breakfast till I figure it all out. (that's all I want to say about that!)

4.  I'm getting closer to my fundraising goal for Special Olympics Over the Edge event but I'm also getting closer to the deadline!!  Please check out my page and if you can help out in any way and spread the word!  Thanks to those of you who have already donated!!!  http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/NatashaArnold/special-olympics-new-mexico-over-the-edge

5.  I wrote a bunch of great blog posts with some of the great ideas I've had on my runs and rides, wait Doh!  I have to work on that one...

6.  There have been horrible fires taking over our state and I hope the people who have lost their homes are doin ok.

7.  I'm normally a good driver but lately I've been so zoned out I've almost gotten into 2 accidents. 

8.  I recently ran the fastest mile I've ran in over 5 years but barely remember it.  One minute I'm lacing up my shoes the next my watch beeps at me that the mile is done :-)

What's new with you?

Sounds like things are crazy nutsy in life right now. At least you're getting in your workouts and you can still use a blender for your smoothie :). Our dryer died so I've been doing the laundromat thingie and it sucks! No $ to buy a dryer right now, but hopefully soon.

We're having bad fires here, too. We were in Gunnison a few weeks ago and the fires from New Mexico were causing some serious haze, it was burning my eyeballs. Going to be a very bad summer for fires for both of us, I fear :(.

Hope you have a better week.

#2 is disappointing, at least have some chocolate milk for the people training, I bet you would have considered the race if they fueled you
#3 is scary
#5 HAAAA I know that feeling
