I was in Girona. *sigh*

Had a rough day. Scott took a spill off his bike en route to work, so we spent a few hours in Kaiser Hell getting him checked out. All’s well now, but it was a long and draining day.
So, as I was cleaning out my overloaded e-mail in-box tonight, I found this jewel that Jason sent to me a few days ago.
Too funny!

I did a push-up today.
That may not sound like much to the more physically-fit of you who read this, but let me assure you, for me, that was a big deal. It was the first full push-up I’ve done since my high school gym class days.
I’ve never been a big fan of working out, frankly. It always seemed like a boring, sweaty chore more than anything else, and since I was lucky enough to be naturally on the thin side, I never really bothered with it.
Until this year, when Scott started biking regularly, and dropped 25 pounds. I took a look at myself in the mirror, and realized that I wasn’t the same skinny thing that I used to be. And so, after much procrastination, over Memorial Day weekend I finally joined a health club.
I did it right and have been seeing a trainer once a week, as well as working out on my own, with a mix of cardio and weight training. And I’m starting to see some progress. I have to work harder to get my heart rate up on the treadmill. I’m using a higher weight setting on some of the machines. And tonight, I did a push-up. Maybe in another week or two, I’ll be doing several of them.
It’s a small step, but I did it. And I feel good.

I’m off to work. I’m taking a camera and plan to swing by an Apple store at lunchtime to check out the party. I may or may not post photos, depending on if I get any good ones.
UPDATE 3:25PM: I did get a couple of photos, including one of Steve Wozniak himself camping a line like the rest of us mere mortals. @Flickr.

If this keeps up I might need to add a “Beads” category.
Where I Spent My Saturday
Learning something new.
Now that grad school is past and life has settled down into something approximating normal, I’ve been waning to add some new things to the mix. This weekend, it’s a class in making lampwork beads.
I don’t think I’ll kick my career to the curb and become a full-time glassmaker like Sarah did — my beads are seriously ugly — but this definitely is a lot of fun.
