weekend happenings

Hey ho it is another Monday morning. Heaps of work to do, a cranky and non-responsive air-conditioner, and a lack of admin support. As usual. Yawn.

I did pretty much nothing of interest on the weekend. I went to bodybalance, where I seem to have injured my ankle, because by yesterday afternoon I was having trouble walking. Now it hurts quite a lot, and I am limping around like an idiot. I also went to the pool, but I don't think that could have made it worse. After all, swimming is meant to be low impact and good for things like ankles and knees. So tonight instead of BodyPump (which I will admit I have been avoiding for weeks now) I am going to go to the pool again. Swimming is calming, and I really shouldn't do BodyPump on a sore ankle. I might see if there is an aquarobics class on, or I might just do laps.

When I went to the pool on Sunday, I wore my chlorine resistant tankini. I love my non-resistant tankini so much, and really don't want it to be shredded by lap swimming. However, it turns out that my resistant tankini has somehow become completely indecent upon contact with water. I seriously spent the whole 20 laps paranoid that I was going to terrify small children or take my own eye out. We are talking everything but nip people, and on me that is a lot! Getting out of the pool in front of the 17 year old lifeguards was also a challenge. Why is it that almost everything I do is deeply, deeply shameful???

In other weekend happenings, I managed to get through a couple of sets of minutes in front of the television which was good. I really can't do that sort of work when I'm actually at work - it requires not being interrupted every 10 minutes by the phone / emails / co-workers.

I should really be paying better attention to the garden, which I've let go a bit lately. I'm blaming the summer heat - both for the garden being a bit shit, and for my being unwilling to do anything about it. I'm hoping that it will cool off a bit this weekend, otherwise I will have to do it in the evening (the chances of me being up early enough in the morning for it not to be hot are slim to none).

My computer is crazy slow this morning, so I keep having everything freeze but my internet explorer. Which is good for my personal internet usage, but not for progress on essential tasks. Sometimes I wonder how people got work done without computers, and then sometimes I think I'd get so much more done if I wasn't so reliant on the damn machine. There are rumours of us getting a new server sometime in the next year, but I'm not holding my breath.
