Sharjinka: Pippin is so cute when he sleeps! ;-)
evile: yes, he is!
Sharjinka: But he was sleeping on the couch cushions when I woke up
this morning! :-D
Sharjinka: He has to be where people are / smell.
evile: oops, up on the couch, or the ones I left stacked up by the
red back-pillow thing?
Sharjinka: The ones on the floor.
evile: oh, dear.
Sharjinka: Don't worry about it at all! He looked so CUTE!!
Sharjinka: He gets out of trouble with the puppy eyes. I'm such a
sucker.
evile: he's definitely got the cute puppy eyes DOWN.
Sharjinka: Yep. That's my dog! ;-)
evile: he's a sweetie. We all loved him :)
Sharjinka: I'm glad you guys were okay with him. He just tends to
stick his nose everywhere.
evile: that's a dog thing...I don't think he was bad.
Sharjinka: He actually has calmed down a lot since I got him. He
wasn't too bad last night.
evile: he wasn't bad at all!
evile: he is a very good dog.
Sharjinka: One of these days, I plan to get around to training
him. :-D
Sharjinka: Now, I just bribe him with cookies to be good.
evile: that counts as training, imho :P
Sharjinka: HeeHee.... :-D
evile: I need to remember to take ibuprofen BEFORE class tonight
Sharjinka: Poor thing! Headache?
evile: no. anti-inflammatory, so I won't feel like so much crap
tomorrow. pre emptive strike against sore muscles.
Sharjinka: Makes sense.
evile: that and lots of water all day to make sure I don't overheat
too bad during class. things I remember from taking the intro last
summer
Sharjinka: Very smart. :-)
evile: I don't want too look too weak and pathetic for the first
class. :P
Sharjinka: I know. I'm nervous about martial arts. I haven't even
picked a form I want yet.
evile: You should definitely check out the sun dragon open house next
Monday :)
Sharjinka: I plan to.
evile: cooool!
evile: I'm going to the 5:30 one with [Cousin B], it's a family class.
there's a 7pm (I think) womens self defense demo
Sharjinka: I'm not sure which one I'll attend. Probably women's self
defense.
evile: I'm taking the day off Monday or else I"d never be able to
make it by 5:30.
Sharjinka: I can understand that. Where is the dojo?
evile: On Riverside
evile: If I went straight from work, I could make it.
Sharjinka: Riverside, huh? It's not too far from where I work....
evile: Yeah, but I take the bus, and I'd have to haul my clothes and
whatnot from home every morning...it would be a hassle.
Sharjinka: True.
evile: I took Krav Maga before and I liked it and the classes start
late enough that I can go home and go from there.
Sharjinka: That's cool. I wish I could do something like that.
Maybe next semester. :-)
evile: *nod* I'm really looking forward to being in better shape :)
Sharjinka: Me too. I'm just ready to move in a different direction.
I really do miss the kids though. *sigh*
evile: *nod* I understand.
Sharjinka: I'm also trying to get back into skating.... *sigh* I've
been so lazy lately.
evile: me too!
evile: If I feel up to it, I'm skating after Krav Maga & a shower.
But I'm not betting I'll feel like it!
Sharjinka: I'm not even feeling like skating tonight and I'm not even
going to Krav Maga first.
evile: heh, yeah. I've felt like that lately too.
Sharjinka: "I have cramps." - ChiChi Rodriguez
evile: *giggle* that was so funny!!!
Sharjinka: In my case, it's true but it's funny to think of him
saying that.
evile: yup. actually, exercise *does* help, esp. if you can do some
stretches.
Sharjinka: Yeah. My old coach told me if you can keep doing
activities than you'll feel better.
evile: I never understand women who want to neglect their bodies and
then get all surprised when they have bad periods and health
problems...
Sharjinka: Yeah....I have been neglecting health and I do get bad
ones when that happens. Ordinarily, they're so light....and I hardly
notice them....
evile: yup. take care of the body, it takes care of you :)
Sharjinka: Very true.
evile: yay! I'm meeting with HR to see if I can transfer somewhere
else in the agency!
Sharjinka: AWESOME! Congrats!
evile: It's a good first step. And I am going to have to find or make
time to enter my state app info on the TWC work search site, and do
the UT app online.
Sharjinka: YES! UT! Come work at UT!
evile: I don' t imagine the $ situation would be any better, but you
and chance and Teri's friend all work there and you all like your
jobs, so...a good work environment is a fine thing, and a great
improvement over this place.
Sharjinka: The salary isn't too great but the job itself and the
people are great. (I still think Melanie is a bit TOO nice to
students.)
evile: Yeah...I need a certain amount of $ to live, but I think not
having a raise for 4 years has made my requirements in that area
pretty reasonable.
Sharjinka: Don't blame you for moving on.
evile: well, the one good thing: I had phone duty today so I'm
leaving at 3 today
