cds and swim lessons

shutter to think it has been close to a month since I last spewed my thoughts on this screen that mysteriously enough can appear at millions of places and on lots of different computers all at the same time...stop and think about that one. Makes me a little jealous as sometimes I'd like to be multiple places at once. Take right now for instance, if I could I would have these 10 cds burning copies of themselves and spend these two plus hours swimming and lifting in training for my upcoming x-terra triathlon...date yet to be set in stone (or shall I say dirt and sweat and blood). I think August will be the month, I'm attempting to secure a training/triathlon buddy, dlovept, who is not so hard to convince. After a few lessons on how to breath correctly while swimming we should be well no our way to being listed in the hard core hall of fame next to all the other off road triathletes.
Even if I wasn't out there physically exerting myself I could be infront of another computer arranging forms and packing info into this little brain to secure a passing grade on the upcoming OSCE. Ah, yes, the OSCE, the test of all tests, the right of passage to the next year; the thing that makes one earn the title "Second Year". In all honesty, I think I will pass, this gal has got the guts, she's got the grace and compassion and blood of Jesus covering her and obviously His strength through it all. And besides that after I have all the forms made, hopefully I'll have paper backup for the fleeting moments my brain may decide to take as the rush of adrenaline and weak knees take over any brain power that might have been there in the first place.
"What else ya got?" you ask
whahaha, well, in case you wanted to know...there's always spanish to be learned, let's be honest, I spend more time dreaming about how it will work out than actually learning any...but hey I'm moving along the steps of readiness like any good ACSM trained exercise scientist when it comes to evaluating people on their way to exercise and this will definitely be an exercise of the mind.
Let's just put in a plug for all the ways God is good. He gives us shelter, food, friends who are there at the push of a button and the connecting of cellular phone signals, towers, and satellites in outerspace. Therefore, thanks God for technology that can connect us with amigas in multiple states.
In non-related news...the movie Crash is highly recommended for a good view of how messed up and fallen this world really is.
In the weather report...cloudy skies are a way of God saying, "Dori, sleep another hour today, you need it. YOu can swim Friday morning instead."
In the literature...shoulders and knees are the most common ortho thing ever so I'm starting to put it all together and incorporate generic interventions for the like....a.k.a. Flash is in part described multiple times during the day:)
In international news...Velma is leaving us soon for a thanksgiving getaway and will come back having walked the grounds we read about hopefully daily. And I await mighty cool stories about how it compares to the pics I have in my mind from my own imagination.
In local times...God is good and provides opportunities to serve Him and His people all I gotta do is get out there and take the time and do it! whew, good to know.
And all of that in the time it takes to burn some cd's...who knew
