cha cha so nasty

it's been a quiet weekend in baltimore. the sleep has been good. the radiators are warm & i only left our place once so far, with the exception of our friday night anniversary celebration. generally that would make for a terrible weekend but i just needed time to chill out from a super busy week.

another physics test come & gone with a score of 139... don't ask me. on thursday the teacher spent at least ten minutes going over the next 2 chapters with me, one-on-one, because he'd decided that not enough students came to class. so he ignored them & talked to me & spilled coffee on my book & cursed a bit & then i left. i felt bad, but it was such a long day/week, i wasn't listening anyway.

aimee came over for dinner on tuesday - cheesy fondue night. it was great to catch up. pkp spent the night & got his car towed - LAME. i felt so terrible - we got there just as the dude was pulling it up on the truck. the bastard. went to a good training - "how to make difficult conversations less difficult". i felt a lot more prepared for the particular conversation i need to have... finished writing the grant at work. didn't have time to proofread it or anything before i submitted it on friday. hope it turned out ok. d & i went out to dinner & dancing friday night. it was pretty fun - though i/we got laughed at by some goons at the dance. what can i say? i'm not the most graceful dancer in the world. i'm not graceful at all, really.

other than that, i've been feeling much older than 31 this week. strange body pains. since thursday, i've had this wierd muscle pain in the back of my knee... like someone kicked me. really terrible. but no one kicked me. what gives? pretty sure none of my shoulder exercised from pt have affected my knee. i've also had this wack pain in my tailbone. i've had this before though. the first time was my sophomore year in college. my ass hurt so bad (from sitting for hours doing drafting assignments) that i went to the health center & some student doctor spread my cheeks & sliced open the cyst that was apparently growing on the tip of my tailbone. it was pretty awkward... i wasn't feeling up for any of that so i've been taking very hot, salty baths for the last few days & it seems to be working. so... i feel like a lemon. maybe i'm really 71 & i somehow missed 40 years of my life...

i'm off to clean up our kitchen cuz my good buddy katie is joining me for some dinner & hanging out. she's back in balto for the winter & i'm uber excited about it. yippie!
