Since some of you asked, my recent routine (that is currently crazy but I'll adjust) is:

Wake up at 4 AM.

Get to the gym by 5 after eating a small breakfast and work out for 90 minutes.

Shower, drink a protein shake, and go to work.

Eat 2 teeny snacks and a small lunch.

Work until 5 or 6.

Go back to the gym for another 30-60 minutes of cardio.

Come home and eat a small meal...go to bed by 9. Tonight's an exception and tomorrow will consequently suck.

It'll get better. I love the working out part, but the 10 to 12 hours in between is still tiring...I'm still adjusting.

IT spent 5 hours on my new laptop today only to let me know my problem is unfixable. So that has to be reimaged. My luck with computers is no good.

Day 1 of crazy workout routine complete! I'm going to bed in 15 mins so I won't be quite so tired tomorrow. The nap in my car over lunch did help though and I was fine after that.

After work I met some friends for dinner. We had sushi! Yum yums. And some good conversation, which was even better. It ended pretty early, which worked for my new schedule I guess, but I do always wish we had more time to get together. It's hard...with life and all.

Well, I guess that's all for now.

R and I are going to work out in the mornings until I leave. Yuuuck. But it will also be fun. So I need to go to bed in the next few minutes.

Tomorrow night I'm also meeeting friends for dinner. It will be sushi...and it will be a good time.

I finally got my work laptop. Yes, I've been working at this company for four years and only just now got one. I had a laptop when I was a lowly intern at nationwide, but it takes a move overseas to get one as a full time employee.

This late entry was not my fault...OD was down all day and I kept wondering if it would never come back up. After the scare back in 04 or 05 or whenever, I always wonder.

Not this time, at least.

I worked a 9 hour day today and after last week, that feels so short. It's good.

I've started shopping for some UK clothes...so far I bought a pair of green rain boots and a few tops. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a new winter coat and some ankle boots. I'm getting excited about it!

I got home a little after four this morning. In case you're counting, that's 20.5 hours of work. I woke up at 1:30 this afternoon and went shopping with my coworker friend. I'm going to start calling her R. That's where I bought my stuff.

Now it's 12:30 and I'm going to bed. I've only been up for 11 hours but I've been tired all day. Yuck. I'll recover just in time to go back to work.
