skibigsky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Still alive Yeah... I'm still alive, although you'd never know it from the way I've been updating. Good thing I didn't do NaBloPoMo this year... (Heck, I didn't even realize it was November until about 2 days ago...) Life has been hectic, on so many levels. Shit. For an unemployed 'domestic engineer', I have been busier than hell. In fact, I think when I file tax returns next year, I'm going to have my CPA put my occupation as CFO/CIO. Mr. V. has a bunch of business stuff going on, and he is the King of The Delegators. He comes up with the ideas, and someone (usually Yours Truly) implements them. And with the end (sort of) of the car racing season, and the start of the ski season, we're scrambling on all fronts. The only consolation? If I ever had to find a job again, I've got So Many More skills to add to my resume. Sadly, I'm probably best equipped (other than mentally!) to be an executive assistant. Because that is basically my job, 24/7. I guess it is that way with any new business, but it is still exhausting. Still, I think I'm over the bronchitis - haven't tested the lungs in really cold weather yet (and don't want to - I'm not ready) and have gotten back to exercising. Which is good, as I've put on a few pounds in the last couple of months, and I'm a tad depressed about that. The perfectly fitting tight-but-in-a-hot-way jeans are starting to just look tight. So, I'm back on the treadmill, cutting back on the wine with dinner, and hoping that in a month or so, I'll be back to the Looking Hot thing. *grin. In the meantime.... We are heading to Primm, NV this weekend for another autocross. Charles is flying out to join us yet again (I think next summer he should just move in... less travel, but this does rack up the FF miles...), and he'll help Mr. V. with the driving down. We are just running to Corvette, so there will be much running around swapping out drivers, but it should be fun. And I'll be in a class of 3 - much better than a class of one. Mr. V. wanted to go skiing this last week, but we didn't go, with me being sick, and having about a bazillion other things to do this week. Truth be told? I'm not excited about skiing. Not yet. Maybe it's a carry-over from the season-ending injury. Maybe it's because I REALLY like autocrossing better. Maybe I'll be more excited when I actually get back on snow. But really? I'd rather autocross all winter, and throw in the skiing when possible... Eh. Maybe that will change when the snow falls. But I'm just not sold on the skiing thing yet. Anyway, I'm excited about the racing this weekend. We'll see what happens the rest of the time. Otherwise, I'm just tired. It has been a hectic week. And I'm getting frustrated with Mr. V. Maybe he's just in 'business mode' and I'm not adapating, but he's been a bit of a PITA lately. Dunno. My patience is wearing thin, and I'm not sure what to do about that. Eh. Like Ms. O'Hara, I'll worry about that later. This should be a fun week, and I'm going to focus on that. Hopefully there will be some posts from Vegas! 9:29 p.m. - 07 November 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
