I am still alive, just!

The total lack of blogging has been mainly due to an excess of life. I have been studying, things have been happening at work, and I have been trying to be good about going to gym. We've also been having a pile of electrical storms which make connecting to the internet dangerous.

I still haven't finished the thing Miriam tagged me for. Sorry about that. Will see about getting to it on the 20th once my assignment is in and life can get back to normal.

Feeling like a lump right now. Should have gone to gym but just didn't feel like it after an hour stuck in traffic in the pouring rain. It's also the brother's birthday today so we've had pizza and cake. GEE - all this and I STILL wonder why I weigh 75kg after a good few months of gym 4 to 5 times a week.

Talking about gym - what is it with people? I try my best to get to classes early so I can pick my spot. I am not short, I have long legs and arms, and I LIKE MY SPACE. Why is it that, when people arrive late, they seem to think that they can squeeze in right next to me? Last week somebody arrived late, set up about 20cm behind me, and proceeded to place her water bottle, towel, and cellphone about 10 cm away from my left foot. This is an AEROBICS class. We are going to MOVE AROUND. Can you say DUH! I told her that she'd better move her stuff as I WAS going to stand there.

Anyway - off to post this and try to get some work in on my assignment. I had a hectic social round this weekend - out on Friday and Saturday night and home early on Saturday and Sunday mornings. What can I say - that brother of mine might work on my nerves some (OK a LOT) of the time but it is nice to have a tame babysitter.

Before you all start staring in awe and amazement at my hectic social schedule, please remember that this is more times than I have been out in the last 6 months or so.
