My downstairs neighbor is a jackass.

It is 10:46 Saturday NIGHT (okay, the fact that I am home and lone is pathetic enough) and Sade is bassing through the floor. I am debating as to whether I go down and pound on his door like he did mine last week. The kicker is that I don't think he is normal and I have a hunch there are some substance abuse "issues" that I don't want to be caught in the middle of. Oh! Even better! Now Sade is SKIPPING. HA! That is freakin' hysterical. Poor guy can't get his swerve on to a skipping cd now, can he?

Although I am seriously annoyed, I had a relatively productive and okay day. I actually got up fairly early for a weekend and started cleaning the apartment and getting rid of some clutter that has accumulated over the last couple of months. I was super vigilant when I first moved, but have been slacking a little as of late. It isn't horrible by any means, just papers and junk hanging around that I don't need. So, anyway, I purged a little today.

After I got things picked up (excluding bedroom, which is an issue in itself), I sat down and banged out six pages of research paper. Even though I had three already started, I completely began again and wrote six solid pages. The editing and citing process takes the longest and I am not looking forward to that. That will probably be a tomorrow event. I am hoping to be have everything completely done for my application by Tuesday. It needs to be in the mail BY Tuesday, actually. Time is getting tight since the application deadline is Thursday! Holy crap! The deadline is THURSDAY. It is now basically, Sunday. I have some hump busting to do tomorrow. I am also still waiting on a letter of reference from my boss, who has had the form for THREE weeks. It better be on my desk tomorrow morning or I am going to go ape.

Lance Armstrong visited me again tonight after I completed my five mile run. It is the longest distance I have completed so far with the Nike+ and actually is the longest distance that I have completed probably ever without walking. I've done a couple of 10Ks, but I am sure there was a walk break or two in them. Anyway, I am quite proud of myself. The clothes continue to fit better and I continue to feel better. I hope to stay healthy and injury free so I can keep at it. Next week I need to be a little smarter about mileage since I almost doubled what I did last week. The rule of thumb is to only add 10% a week. I think I can manage.

Okay, even though Sade is still rapping through the floor, I am going to attempt to hit the sack. I am tired and will probably have a sore body tomorrow. More editing and laundry tomorrow. Woopty doo!
