And I Thought I Was Busy Before

for all of those frequent readers (J) here are my excuses for not running in i think 3 weeks today. shortly after that run i had a horrible week at work, long hours, etc so i didn't run that week. that was expected, since mid feb is usually the beginning of our busiest time of year, which goes through mid may. however, we have hired a new vet recently and i thought that would give me a little hope. at the end of that week Emily said she was ready to move out of the city. wanting to get something done before she changed her mind, i have tirelessly been looking for a place to move. i do mean tirelessly, some night until 1 or 2 in the morning. and it had gone from looking to a big piece of land with a house to looking for a small piece of land to build on and buy a place to hunt as well to looking for a medium sized place to build and hunt to, finally, looking for a big piece of land to build something small on for now. not to mention lying in bed trying to figure out how everything was going to work from paying off bills, selling our house, and where we are going to live until we get our house built. all this time trying to get our house ready to be listed, which means packing everything up that i won't need for the next few months. for those who have been to my house, i have lots of stuff. for those who don't have full time jobs or run, or those who have nothing better to do, i will me moving soon (everything will have to be moved twice, once now and also when our new home is done) and i have a lot of 2 to 4 people objects to move. today we actually put a bid on a farm, it is a little futher than i really wanted (and needless to say much further than emily wanted), but it is about the size place we were looking for and i hope we can get it at a good price. I know, however, that J will never visit this place if we get it, since he has never been to the house i live in now :).

i did talk to a client the other day who i could tell was a runner and he has ran several marathons, i think we talked about an hour after we were through with his dog. when he left i was pumped. then i was on call that night and tired from the week (it was friday) and i just wanted to go home and rest. i have not slept well in the last 2-3 weeks because i have been so excited about getting some land and just thinking about all the possibilities. i have been on call all weekend. i was off today and finally feel like i am getting caught up on sleep. today i have been packing up everything i could until it was too late to run.

so there are my excuses, no doubt i will be back on the wagon soon, look out!
