how how

So by trying to blog earlier, I still manage to be awake at midnight. And, I use the walk back to the hotel to reflect on the day, and I'm usually writing my blog in my head as I walk...which is why I now have two blogs for one night.

On the walk home tonight, I noticed the crickets - not the constant chirping ones, the ones that are more rhythmic sounding. And I instantly wished I was back at 4-H camp in the Shenandoah mountains for the summer. For some reason, those certain crickets, and the cool night, made me think I was standing in the parking lot of Fairfax singing 'America' with a flashlight, trying to get about 300 kids and teens to walk in to campfire in a somewhat organized manner. Either that, or squeezing them all in to the campfire circle. We always fit everyone :) "Hands up! Scoooooooooot!"

That was when life was so simple. That summer job was the shit. It didn't pay for anything, but it was so, so fun.

Side note; the hotel does have MTV, and I am currently catching up on Teen Mom, although I think I just caught the end of it. Bummer again.

Also, as I left the hospital, I wanted so bad to jump in the escort van so they could drive me back to the hotel, but I forced myself to walk. It's only about a quarter of a mile, if that, but I was feeling lazy tonight. My toes were feeling swollen from sitting too long, so I knew I should walk instead. It is a nice night, much cooler than usual for August on the East Coast (at least that I remember), but I can still feel a hint of humidity that I know wouldn't be there in Colorado.

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to use the remaining 15 personal training sessions I have at 24hr Fitness...there isn't one close to here...but I have been tempted to just break out the push ups in the room. Just the thought of touching those floors with any part of my skin gives me the willies. I can feel myself getting out of shape, and I was barely starting to get in shape. We have declared tomorrow a no soda day. We've had entirely too much of it these past two weeks. Must. Push. Water.

Today at the OB clinic I saw all the good little pregnant mommies with their water bottles. And I have one too. Except it was empty. Oops. I'm working on it...

I also purchased a Snuggie tonight - for the freezing conditions Jason prefers his room. I had them turn it up just a little yesterday, and when I walked in today, it was like a sauna. Oops again. So they turned it back down finally tonight, and as I left I could feel it becoming frigid again. No happy medium. Such is life, right?
