baseball

I like baseball. People in california don't seem to understand the baseball obsession. It's kind of hard to get used to - its very exciting to find people that are even remotely interested. I miss the red sox being on all the time - its not quite as satisfying to watch espn's score keeping thing on my computer. Although tonight's game was pretty exciting even though I wasn't really watching. I think I might have scared the people at work though or at least given them more reason to think I'm crazy. I guess it was really only a matter of time. I keep trying to keep my excitement of baseball in check but it just keeps popping out :) If you're a sox fan, how could you not be excited about the last series of the season vs. the yankees that decides who makes the playoffs?

no more stomping

Over the past week or two I've been noticing that I haven't been woken up in the mornings. I didn't think much of it, well, except that it was nice not to have to put earplugs in. But now I think I've figured out why - I think my neighbors moved out. It took me 2 weeks to notice - that seems like kind of a long time. Oh well. Hopefully the new people (whenever they get here) are cool - not that I'm really ever here to notice them so mostly I just hope that they don't keep me awake :) Anyways, since I'm home early maybe I should do something other than sit in front of the computer... or maybe I'll go sit in front of the other computer and try to get some work done ...

2 heads (minus the aches) are better than 1

2 migraines in the past 10 days - that's a first. The second one turned out to be much more convenient than the second though. I was with the same people both times - perhaps there's a lesson to be learned there both by me and by them ;) As you probably could guess, when you notice right away, its dark and you are 5 minute drive from home things tend to work out better than when you're dehydrated, haven't eaten anything, its super sunny, and there's a long windy road between you and home. The weird thing is I don't even feel stressed out which is supposedly what causes them. There's a really good amount of stress in my life these days and its the kind of stress I like - the kind I would miss if it were gone. I need to have this kind of stress - its necessary for me to be me. Even "KaliforniaKate" needs it :)

a new set of wheels

As I was out running errands today I passed by a bike shop, stopped in and bought myself a bike. It was sort of an impulse buy although after walking to work one time I started thinking that having a bike would be much more efficient. 3 hrs of walking is not nearly as good of a use of time as 50 minutes of biking. So now I have one and a nifty little light to go with it since I never seem to leave work before it gets dark. Not even today, when my only real reason for going to work in the first place was to see how long it would take me to ride there, did I leave before dark. But, it was good since I got some work done, had a reason to ride my new bike, played a new game and got one of my favorite dinners :) How can you want to stay away?
