What's Up?

Not much here I can say. Sorry I have not been a great blogger this week. I have started my new clinical at the Memphis City School system. I love it. I love working with children with disabilities- of all ages. Going to the schools is so cool- I get to see the kids in their everyday environment. It is a lot of fun for me. Unfortunately they don't hire new graduates, so it doesn't look like I will get a job there anytime soon.

And at nights I come home and hang with Roo and Lilly Lizard (at least that is what I have named her. Dave vetoed the name, so we are supposed to have a renaming tonight). It is so much fun for me to have a new baby in the house. She is crunched up right now behind me on the couch, snoring. Of course I am getting attached, which is exactly what Dave did not want. But, I did contact a rescue agency, Dog's Second Chance, and Lil Liz is getting put up for adoption. It has been hard to think of giving her up- I hope I find a young, energetic dog lover like me to take her. Oh well- she can stay here as long as she wants to.

And, the rest- well, taper time is here. I am very happy as I was just getting tired of having something(s) to do every single day. It was time for me to wind down. I went to yoga this week and realized how tight I have become- it is amazing what loads of training can do for your body in both a positive and negative way. I have been slowly losing the negative energy that I accumulated with miles of training- tired body = tired mind. Wow, so that is it! Nothing neat-o to post about today. Sometime this week I will try to write about the things I will think about in ironman- the things that inspire me. Star Wars and Elliot Perry will be among the topics. More on that to come.
