Emotional day
So it's been a whirlwind of a day. I got home from MS's this morning to curl my hair and get ready for a work meeting. That meeting was only supposed to be 90 minutes and Mom had agreed to wait for me before going to the funeral.
Well, the meeting ran over a bit and despite my speeding home (which mom said not to do) I was a few minutes late. Mom was ticked because we were going to be late (we had 30 minutes to go 3 blocks) and so she was already in a mood.
Well the funeral was fine. I sang a hymn which always feels cheesy to me...I really need to get some funeral repertoire set up for these things. But it worked and everyone (!) told me how great it was (which I hate).
After the funeral we did the family thing where I got to hang out and do the small talk thing with the family I never see. It's fine, but it's not like we're real close. Maybe that could be remedied and maybe it should be, but right now I'm just not there. Of course, it could have just been the day.
The rest of the day was ups and downs between planning, packing, shopping, etc for the camping trip MS and I are going on this week. We leave tomorrow and I'm super excited!
AND I got to talk with my OOB tonight which is always fun.
Okay...I need to pack. and sleep. The next few nights will be long in a tent, but it'll be great.

Warm and fuzzy; morning cleaning
I'm someone who can be relied on. :) That makes me happy.
-----
On another note, I got up this morning at 5:30 thinking I'd go for my 9M run, but it was windy and cool so I thought I'd just clean instead. Nothing like cleaning a bathroom to start a day.
Really I just need to find the bladder for my Eastbak version of a Camelbak. And MS is coming over after his shift this morning and we're going to run then, so it's all good.
And so I'm watching "Never Been Kissed" while I clean. My favorite line from Garry Marshall, "Ho---ly Shit! I don't even know my own kid." That makes me smile.
Okay, enough randomness...back to work for me. :)

Running for the military
Today there was a Support Our Troops run on the bike trail in town. Donations were received for the military families and members in the area. I had the option to walk a mile, run a 5K or run a 10K.
Which did I choose?
Duh, of course I'm a glutton for punishment so I ran the 10K. Plus my training program said I needed to run 6 today anyway, and since I've been SO good at staying on top of that (not), I had to run the 10K.
It wasn't a bad run. The weather was perfect today so that helped. I had my chai before the race which helped with my caffeine need and though I came in DAL I still finished with a time of 69:30. This is only a minute longer than I ran the 10K in May and that one was without stopping to walk (I walked a few times today). So I'm getting faster maybe? That would be nice.
I just need to drop a few pounds and do some strength training. I think that would help. I have the discs for P90X now, but MS and I haven't started that yet. We're going camping next week so that's out. Maybe the next week...that might work. We'll see. I need to do something. I know it would help.

Mungie Boy
Today my mentor retired from our workplace. We had a nice party for him. I laughed. I cried. I sighed. I chortled (yes, I chortled).
And I miss him already.
