I have a finisher's medal. However, the word for Nation's logistical planning is clusterfuck. Would not recommend Nation's unless they seriously change some things. Particularly, ending the tri so far from transition, telling us there would be shuttles to transition and also back to the hotel with our bikes where we were recommended to park, having the shuttle drop us off about a mile from transition both before and after completing the tri (especially with a lot of people dropping like flies from heat exhaustion) and then expecting people to ride their bikes back to the hotel because the shuttle back was a myth. Also, the whole packet pickup was also disastrous. I thought I'd be able to handle the heat exhaustion but all the extra walking did me in; we had to have some very nice woman offer to bring us home (and the EMS lady made her promise she wouldn't let me drive). Whee.
Hope everyone else had decent days. How was your shower, sj?
d, you are amazing! And I'm glad you found a ride.
I got some grading and research done today. I think I may have figured out a way out of the problem I was having with my research before, but I'm not sure -- I'm going to talk to my adviser about it tomorrow.
My doctor switched around some of my meds this weekend, and it seems like it's taken away my appetite. (Known side effect.) I kind of don't want to complain, though, because I've been gaining weight lately.
We're finally home from the shower and have unpacked the car. OMG, so many gifts that need to find a home in our apartment! Sadly, no lingerie trashy or otherwise. The day was really wonderful, mostly due to vw and my friend K who stayed near me all day and kept me sane. The day absolutely flew by! Time to fall down now.

Heh. After my Sister's shower my family was told explicitly "Do not give me sex clothes in public. Do not give me sex clothes at all. Should any other blood relative attempt to give me sex clothes in public misplace the box until after the party."
Glad the shower went well.
Heh, that's not the reaction I expected from SPP. Mom and I were talking about the gifts after and she said it was because people don't think I'm ''like that'' whatever that means.
Way to go, d!!
Glad it went well, sj.
I'm drowsy, but I don't feel like sleeping yet. Conundrum.
Heh, that's not the reaction I expected from SPP.
SPP does not believe in the combination of "sex clothes" and "blood relatives" IN ANY CAPACITY.
Oy. Just got an email from my mom that my little cousin (who's actually 18 now, but still somewhere around 9 in my mind) has gotten into trouble. I don't want to go into details on a public forum, but both police and hospitals were involved. I'm pretty worried about him now.
Hi from my honeymoon in the FL Keys! We are having a great time. Ate seafood on the water twice today. Spent most of the day in the pool, which is right next to the ocean. Best of both worlds. Tomorrow we are going on a boat tour of the Everglades. Whee!!!!
Kristin, Seamus and momo are so much alike! Does he have any white on him? The mo has 2 small white patches on her belly. So cute!
