(Written in two bits, posted as one.  So it doesn’t quite make sense.)

So, no workout today.

The slight pain in my lower side seemed worse this morning (sitting the hard chairs at school seems to make it twinge). I thought it might not be too bad so planned to workout anyway. I was getting ready, which involves moving and laying out a medium/heavy rubber mat, and realised that there was just no way I was lifting weights today. I’ll probably drop the cardio tomorrow as well and see how it feels Thursday morning.

Really, when it comes down to it, I just feel crappy. Today I was so cold in my first class (a lecture hall that tends to the cool side) that I went out and got my coat. I wore it for a good part of the day and then spent 10-15 mins in one of the offices on my way out and ended up overheated. Can’t win.

I’ve also got my period and I’ve got cramps. So all around I’m just in a bad mood. I don’t know why either, but they’re coming a little closer together than usual. Although, just the last two, and only a day or so, but I’d become so used to them being regular. They’ve been more regular since March which was nice.

Okay, enough rambling. I’m going to see if I can catch up on some stuff before it’s time to make dinner.

Nothing much to add for today.  School was, well, school.  Got another good mark in Communications (14/15) which keeps me over the 90% mark.  We did another in class assignment today and he’s promising to mark them quickly and let us know where we stand (out of 35).  The only thing I don’t like about the course is that 30% of your mark comes from a group report with an oral presentation.  I know that some of the ummm ‘mature’ students are concerned about that.  We aren’t allowed to pick our groups and some of them feel (and I think I agree) that we’ll end up picking up the slack as WE want as good a mark as possible.  So, we’ll see how that goes.

Tomorrow I’m going to have a high protein breakfast (I think a shake) and then I’m not sure what I’ll do for lunch.  I’m going to visit with some people that I used to work with and we’ve left it open for coffee and/or lunch.  It’s unfortunate as I think our favourite restaurant is closed.  I say too bad because it had some pretty decent choices.  Oh well, we’ll see what happens.
