i'm bored! i have a ton of work to do to prepare my board book presentations, but after a while you just get really tired of doing the same thing for an extended period of time. (well, okay, there are a couple of exceptions to that, but work-related stuff is usually in this category.) claire wanted drafts by the end of the day today, and i was only able to give her four of the ten i have to write.... however, no one else is even close to being done with any of their presentations, and they're also not officially due until next wednesday so it's no wonder no one is done today! oh well. just one more stress factor, but at least i work well under pressure! kristen, the new project administrator, keeps assuring me that she'll be fine ("i'm a writer," she says-- well, so am i, and it's still a pain in the ass!), but i think today she's starting to feel the stress. there's just not sufficient time to do all the things that the board and the agencies want us to...

anu is under the weather these days because his ankle is still recuperating from surgery... he's not the happy-go-lucky guy he usually is, but that's understandable considering the pain he's probably in. he just got a walking cast on tuesday, so he's progressing, but he's straining himself more than he had been so it'll take some getting used to. feel-better vibes going out his way... :)

freakin' jeff garcia, man. of course, did you see the part where it says that coach erickson empathizes because he's had a DUI too?! sheesh. get smart, people!

marla and i are working on climbing muscles... we might go climbing again on sunday. yay! i'm excited about this new hobby of ours... i just hope i get better at it...
