Hello Tiffy!

……………Tiff after going to the lake.

I decided to go on an innertube pulled by a boat on Sunday. I have to say I am in no where near the shape that I should be to do that sort of thing but I did it. Boy was I in pain afterward. However the few minutes of adrenaline rush *were* fun, I will admit. I have polka dot black and blue bruises all over my body and I severely screwed up my back to the point I had to stay home from work yesterday. All good, though. I basically just tore some major muscles that you never use in your back. They are like the muscles if you traced your shoulder-muscle down to the middle of your back, they were ripped to shreds and *oh* did it ever hurt the next day. Well, the next day was Monday, and I had a hard time working that day too. I figured it would not be that bad but I had a very hard time sleeping on Monday night so Tuesday when I woke up I was utterly exhausted and decided to take it easy and stay home from work. I found, amusingly, I was great when laying down and standing up/walking, but sitting was a killer. I could not even straighten my back. Anyway, I went to work today and I feel ten times better.

I am good at getting injured. It really does pay to stay in some kind of shape. Getting on the boat platform was pretty amusing as well to people other than myself. I had to do this “beached-whale hop” from the water onto the boat platform just to get up while other people could just use.. what are they called..oh, the MUSCLES IN THEIR ARMS. Yeah I don’t have any of those. Stopped the EA Active too early… Lol. I plan to get back into that soon though.  Blah blah… Alli pills they are good… Lost 10 lb but gained back 4 after stopping the pills… now I am back on the pills… no need to go on about that, story of my life ya know!

However, I am still loving life here in Austin. I mean really. I love the heat, I love the work that I am doing, & I love the people I spend most of my time with. I would say that this was a great move for me, considering it is almost my 1st Texa-verssary (as I like to call it) I am very pleased. We signed the lease on our apartment for another 14 months and we got 600 bucks back for doing so and a box of godiva chocolates (only had 1!)….(box!)….(jk, only one chocolate).

I am looking forward to July 4th, as it is not only falling on a Saturday this year, finally, but also it is gonna be damn good bbq weather! Can’t expect much different in sunny (or as some call it, sweltering) Austin.
