Blah...
That is exactly how I feel. I have been feeling pretty crappy for the past couple of days. I don't think I have a fever, but I can't seem to get warm though and I just feel like curling up in my bed and sleeping for days. I'm working all this weekend and not only does it suck that I have to be here, I have to be here EARLY (6am). So I am sitting here, with my space heater on full blast and someone's coat that I stole out of their office over my lap. I dread getting up and going to check on my group because it is absolutely freezing in the exhibit hall and meeting rooms.
The house is coming along. I really like the sub contractors and our neighborhood's project manager. We've gotten to know some of them and they are kind of funny. Typical country guys. One of them had to come by and fix the door to our laundry closet because it wouldn't close. Apparently, someone miss measured the width of the closet and out standard washer/dryer wouldn't fit. So this guy came in and re- hung the doors to give us an additional 1/2 inch and now the doors will close "by a gnat's ass". Yes, that was a direct quote from the guy. When I asked him why he was working so late (it was 6:30pm when he came by the house and most of the guys leave the sites by 5pm on the dot), he told me, "Yeah, most of the other guys think I'm a worthless piece of shit because I sleep late. I'd rather sleep in and work later, it helps with the hangover." When he left, he left behind some of his tools. The next morning, as I was leaving for work, the project manager hollered over to me from the house next door that he was working on and asked if the guy fixed my doors. I told him that he did but he left his tools in my house. I gave them to him and he told me he was going to hide them on him to mess with him. They are a bunch of "good 'ole boys" and like to have fun with each other. I have a feeling I will get to know them really well, they will be on site for at least another year finishing the next phase of houses.
I have started to run outside because I no longer have access to a treadmill. I knew it was harder to run outside, but I didn't know if was SO much harder. I was up to jogging/running 10 miles on the treadmill (90 minutes) so I figured I could easily do 5 miles outside. NOPE. The most I have been able to do is 3.5 miles and that is tough. I also feel like I am running so slow, but I do that distance in about 35 - 40 minutes, which is about the same speed (maybe a little slower) that I did on the treadmill. So I don't know what gives. Different muscles in my legs are sore now too. I am signing up for a 5K with some people from work October 7th in Savannah. If that goes well, I will sign up for a couple more 5K this fall that are coming up in the area.
Well, gotta go, the front desk is hollering for me...
