What weekend?

I don't know where the days go, especially the ones on the weekends. I do remember taking a nap this afternoon. Saturday, I needed one, but instead fell asleep at Borders while looking at MS Project 2007 books, then again at home while trying to watch SNL.

Saturday was more social than usual for me. It was Gary's celebration of life mass and reception. Gary being my friend that died from cancer a few months ago. I got to visit with Nick and Jerry, and the guys with the $1000 toilet, and so many others that knew and loved Gary more than I got to in the short time I knew him. During the mass, as always at funerals and the like, I wonder what will be remembered about me. What impact did I make on others? Was it even close to what was being summarized of the lives of those who have gone on before me? In the past four or so years, I've been to two funerals for co-workers, a cousin, now a friend, and a handful of relatives. This one is a bit bittersweet for me because at a time when I can breathe easily because I am cancer free, how can I be happy about it when someone I know died from it? What is there to be happy about? That I got the year-pass and someone else didn't? Well, I just hope that when I go, it isn't because of thyroid cancer, and I hope that everyone that comes to my celebration of life get together has a good time - whether they bitch about me or fondly remember me, the food better be good, and people better be enjoying themselves! Just like at Gary's.

So, I didn't get a lot of running in this weekend. Friday night was climbing, Saturday was Gary's thing (so only my stomach got a workout), Sunday the usual pilates class, but I ran in the evening instead of on the treadmill at the gym. My Nike SportWatch is getting better tracking my runs, kind of. I still want to try at least one more run at the lake and somewhere completely different to see if there was any improvement in the GPS tracking before I take it back.

So, now it is 1 AM in the morning, I still have a million things to do before I go to bed. It is going to be a bit of a crazy day since I have a follow up ENDO appt, then right after that I have my annual eye exam. Hopefully I will be climbing this evening as well. Then Tuesday morning I have to get up really early to drive to LA for a meeting on my big project. If there is going to be a time during the next two days that I could count on falling asleep, it would be while I am driving back from LA Tuesday afternoon or evening. I emailed my ENDO to see if possibly taking my T3 med twice daily would help with my afternoon exhaustion. I'll find out at my appt later today if we go that route or not. I'm thinking that I will really need it Tuesday afternoon if I want to make it home in one piece.
