falling behind in the updating front.

[hnpcc]

I've fallen behind a bit in my updating, mostly because exercise and work seem to be taking up a fair amount of time.

Quick bullet points that I want to expand on later:

* We've now walked the entire trail, having completed checkpoints 6-8 last weekend. We're having a rest weekend this weekend (thank God), partly because people can't make it and partly because we're all tired. I for one am looking forward to not getting up at 5.30am this Saturday! I'll probably still do a short (3 hourish) walk though.

* We ran two pancake fundraisers that went well and raised money.

* That bloke we ran into the first time we walked along the coast? Was in last week's paper. I did like the quote: Partly to help educate people about the disease, partly to raise money for research into a cure, and more than slightly out of sheer bloody-mindedness, Mr Williams will compete in the Marathon des Sables in April. Yep, that was my impression too.

* Exercise doesn't seem to be making me much fitter. Or I could be getting depressed as my blood sugar levels drop. I only noticed this week that I cheer up after a jelly snake (or after eating in general). I think I should probably keep them in the car.

* Actually seriously? Exercise doesn't really seem to be making me much fitter. I still suck.

* I have the darkest plumber's tan going at the moment, not least from getting sunburned the other weekend. (Fortunately I'm abstaining from the bum crack option.)

* I've booked a long weekend away in Qld for after the walk. Yay! Hoping I can walk again by then.

* Work is a whole other friends-locked entry.

* Soccer is frustrating at the moment because so many people are out.

* Netball for a change has an overwhelming number of people, even with one person vanishing after having an argument with her cyber-boyfriend. Apparently she's still around, just not communicating with anyone. Helpful. And we're winning occasionally which is both nice and surprising.

*Uni starts again next month. I think it does at least, nothing's been put up yet. *shrug*

Heh, you get pre-snack crabbiness too! Emergency cheese works for me.

Do NOT keep snakes in the car though. Didn't you learn anything from Snakes On A Plane?

Not so much crabbiness (although that can occur) just start sliding into depression really quickly. More so when it's the low energy point of the month already, although it can happen other times too.

I'm not keeping cheese in the car, that's for sure!

Oatcakes.
They're my emergency rations...
