A tale of two water bottles

Filed under: Rants — liviaking @ 9:45 am

On Thursday after Jujitsu, I was really thirsty, so I filled up my Poland Springs water bottle, threw it in my backpack and went to the bus stop.  As I was waiting for the bus, I looked down to see that my bag was open and that my water bottle had fallen beneath the bench.  Double checking my bag to make sure that this really was my water bottle, I picked it up off the ground, drank half of it, and put it back in my backpack.  The next day, as I was cleaning out my backpack for school, I took out the half empty water bottle, took my gym clothes out, and discovered a second, completely full Poland springs water bottle under my gym clothes.
Um yeah, so if I die of cholera … you’ll know why.
On a side note, I’m excitied about my new workout plan — which is alternating between swimming and yoga, except on days when I go dancing or do jujitsu.  The tricky part before was finding a cardio activity that I didn’t hate (ugh, running sucks), but I really enjoy swimming.  Thinking of taking some lessons in the fall so I feel alittle less self conscious in the pool.  No weights training for now.  My flexibility issues are bad enough without purposely trying to get my muscles to contract.  Any muscle development will have to occur through the other activities.  I have this fantasy that perhaps if I start working out more regularly that I’ll actually be able to be not out of shape for the first time in my life….
Maybe even run a ten minute mile… hehehe… or is that shooting too high?

Programmer’s high

Something about coding…. finding a bug after 6 extremely frustrating hours just makes you want to jump up on the table and declare “I am a PHP goddess!” Seeing as how my shoes are dirty, I will settle for my weblog instead.
