Ever have great plans for the day and you just don't want to get out of bed? I was going to get up early, get to the track to jog by 9 and make it to the 10:30 yoga class. It is 10:24am, I'm laying in bed typing. Oh well. I'll do my best to get at least a walk in. I'm jogging tomorrow night anyway.
(on a side note, I just closed my bedroom window because I swear to GOD, my neighbor is trying to play the "drums" on his trash barrels! It is a Sunday morning PEOPLE! Keep it down!)
I'm a little nervous for tomorrow morning. I have an MRI at 8:45. My back has been bothering me for months. I started up physical therapy in June and in August they told me they couldn't do anymore for me. That's when I started with the massage therapist. Back in June I went Kayaking and after that I couldn't turn my head. Over my birthday I went to 2 yoga classes and had the same results. If I do anything with my upper back/shoulder muscles, they just become inflamed. I went back to the doctor last week and he wants to send me to a specialist, but they need me to have an MRI before they will even set up an appointment... guess to see if I really need to see them. Who knows.
I'm just nervous about the MRI. The doctor gave me valuim for it. That's good. We'll see how it goes.

On other notes... little brother and the girlfriend are in town this weekend. His friend got married yesterday so they flew in Friday night and fly back tonight.
(ok, so maybe the neighbor is tap dancing or something... DRIVING ME CRAZY! Even with the window closed! And I think he's 2 houses over!!! WTF!)
SO I am going up to mom's to watch the Pat's game today and see little brother. It'll be interesting what their plans are for the holidays. Little bro moved in April. Last year, the girlfriend flew here for Thanksgiving and he flew there for New Years. They spent Christmas apart. This is the first Christmas he doesn't live here. Mom will be a mess if he isn't here for Christmas. Not sure if I should say something to him today, in front of the girlfriend to stress the importance of him being here for Christmas. He can't do that to our mother.

I haven't done anything this month outside of my comfort zone yet. I have an idea that I'm not sharing yet.... for tomorrow I think. We'll see. I'm nervous! So I know it is a good idea to try. I'm looking at apartments too again. I read a thing on line about excuses type things and it said the whole, "it happens for a reason" is a cop out to not taking responsibility for things. SO, since that was my excuse for not finding an apartment, I started looking on Craigslist again. I emailed 2 places I liked. We'll see what happens. That is slightly outside of my comfort zone as well.
And I am stepping up to be the General Organizer of the meetup group. That's another thing outside my comfort zone. I don't generally commit to things like that. There are over 170 members of that group! WOW! And I'd be the general organizer? A little intimidating for me. That's part of the reason I have been going back and forth about it.
I did post info on the groups calendar about a few more 5K's. Now that we are training for a one (2 weeks!) it will be nice to keep it up after I made it this far. I'm not ready for over 3 miles in 2 weeks. The most I have done is 2.25 miles! But we'll see how I do. I'm ready to try it.

I guess that's it. Not too much else going on. Happy Fall, enjoy this beautiful Sunday and GO PATS!! :)
