TrainingI'm stuck in training all day today, and all day tomorrow. Basically, I'm here to learn about the new software system we're launching on Monday... but everyone else in the training is here to learn how to use the system to do their jobs. So it's quite a bit more in-depth than I really need. But I won't argue- at least I have internet access!Progress on the chickami continues- I'll hopefully get it finished sometime next week. And this weekend I need to polish off Dalmore... just one more armhole to pick up, and then a few ends, and then some serious blocking. Of course, this weekend I also get to mow my parent's lawn... funny, I thought that living in an apartment meant that I finally didn't have to mow lawns anymore. I guess that I should have realized that the lawn couldn't wait almost a month for them to get back from vacation. I keep trying to convince them to buy a goat... or perhaps a sheep... but then I would have to learn how to spin, and I guess they would have to learn how to take care of a sheep. Maybe mowing the lawn is a more practical solution after all... I think I'm going to have to give up aerobics on Saturdays in favor of the new job. But I think I'll be motivated enough to do some of my own exercise- I have 1 video, and some 5lb weights, and I have an upper body weight workout... and I think I'll be getting a Pilates kit to start with. It will be a lot cheaper to buy some videos and work out that way, and I'll still have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If I do another workout of some kind 2 other days during the week, plus the exercise bike at the gym at work during lunch, plus walking or riding my bike to work, that should be plenty. :) Actually, that's more than enough, but I like to eat, and the only way I get to eat what I want to is to exercise more than I want to. It was funny, though, last night when I was doing some upper body routines- Cricket was VERY confused, and kept trying to sniff the dumbells. Ok, off to more "exciting" training, and wishing desperately for my knitting. 0 comments || # |
