Yanti & Salty RidiculoSnarky Almost Intelligent-Charming Manatees PART 4 - Full (Page 84)

I love family drama! Not. Well, the thing to remember is that YOU are not the drama. I am not the drama. It's everybody else's drama and it can stay there.

I have SUPER headache that came on suddenly during a run. It's steadily getting worse despite the application of a strong NSAID. Unfortunately, anything good I have went down the hatch to control my cough when in JKT.

Think a Milky Way would help?

Compared to the migraines I used to have, or typhoid/dengue headache where I'd have to lie perfectly still in a very dark quiet room or I'd puke (which I'd do anyway), it's not that bad. But I suck in my breath sometimes.

Asalzwed - 2012-08-31 2:39 AM mmmm fall must be coming. Mooncakes @ work and I notice my music playlists becoming veeeery melancholy. 

TriAya - 2012-08-30 1:43 PM

omg I love mooncakes. I need to go mug a Chinese person. We have some in my 'hood (we've got something of everything in my hood, do you really need to ask who the village idiot is?), but everyone would know who the ailant was.

Asalzwed - 2012-08-31 2:47 AM

I only read part of that. *BT is really good at censoring me.

Yeah, 95% of my friends at work are Chinese. I didn't plan that. 

Does Indonesia celebrate the mid autumn  festival?

rrrunner - 2012-08-31 2:55 AM Hey all!

For you data geeks (and bike fans) I found a site that gives the HR/power/elevation data for some of the pros doing the USA Pro Tour. Cool stuff!

Very cool! I was able to catch glimpses of the USA Pro race if I were up late at night and wasn't already Vuelta-ed out.

Asalzwed - 2012-08-31 3:22 AM

If you were up late?

TriAya - 2012-08-30 2:26 PM

On three separate occasions in Jakarta I was not up past midnight.

I realize it'll probably be the only three this year, barring an UNUSUALLY unusual schedule or extreme illness ... y'know ... never mind.

Asalzwed - 2012-08-31 3:28 AM

So as long as everything stays on your unusually unusual schedule, when I come visit I should just stay on Seattle time. 

TriAya - 2012-08-30 2:32 PM

Pretty much. Also, if stuff gets going in Bali, provided that we're actually going to do stuff, which I know we will (oh the creative translations of "stuff" ... ) it only really gets going around 11pm or later, which would be 8am Seattle time. Since I know you eat breakfast early, that would just translate into dinner here. Or, as is the case with both of us ... oh wait, I'm conscious? Must be a time to eat ...

Asalzwed - 2012-08-31 3:36 AM

Right, creative. 

Glad our schedules are compatible. 

I'm actually thinking that when I make the trip I will be making a few other stops with a friend whom I want to coordinate some travel with. Full Moon Party in Thailand is on the list, maybe Laos and Cambodia?? Not sure. I should do those after my visit with you (assuming I am still alive) so that I haven't adjusted to the time. 

TriAya - 2012-08-30 2:48 PM

It's not as big an assumption as you may think. You'll be alive, all right, but I can't make any guarantees regarding altered states and rearranged body structures.

Hi Manatee Piglets!

We'll have a new thread popping up soon.

Dammit I'm sleeping. DUBSIX I love your new sig line.

cdban66 - 2012-08-30 2:54 PM The new sig line came about while I was reading the constant TT whining about everyone else. Just race yourself and get over yourself. Very few of us will ever be on a podium, this is a hobby for 99% of us. If that is your biggest problem, get some stinkin' perspective.

Asalzwed - 2012-08-30 1:17 PM

Well, it's a he so that loses a couple points in my book () really sarcastic though, so obviously that works well with me.

Overall I would say no. Which is a good thing considering I don't need any distractions while I'm trying to get better.

What do you think about me and coaching? 

His philosophy seems to be dictated by strength in running. "Strength comes from the calves" he says. I almost laughed out loud because I was thinking "gumdrops."

ArielLIlB - 2012-08-30 8:14 PM Did I miss a new thread or has no one posted since in like over 4 hours? Cuz that would be really weird!

jobaxas - 2012-08-30 6:59 PM

Oh I hope i've not missed the cutover to the new thread!

 that's a good start!  Little one still very sick and she's so skinny anyway this is leaving her very weak - no energy coz she can't eat.  Poor darling.  I feel bad I can't be there but DH is off work with her.  Unfortunately I have to work Saturday - it's only twice a year and it's this week.  Dammit.

Oh well - I owe him big time.

Great squad last night - see log for details.  Was going to get up and go to the 5.15am squad but really couldn't be bothered.  Running 10km tonight if she will let me go out. may have to wait for her to go to bed.

bcraht - 2012-08-30 9:09 PM

Well, at least there are 3 of us confused if there is a new thread .  So sorry Artemis is feeling so poorly Jo, but sure glad to see the happy faces from you!!  Hopefully daddy is fighting off the illness.

I did it. After much thought and discussion, the pros FAR outweigh the cons. I just submitted my application.

Who knows, they might not even consider me, but I have to take this chance...if it happens, I will be in a better place--I don't necessarily mean geographically (I do love sunny Cali), but financially, and mentally. My husband believes it is the right direction, and even my mom does! I was sure I would get the total guilt from her, but she, without even hearing the whole breakdown, said "so you're gonna apply, right?".  I am blessed to have a great family like this. The best part for me--I would be in close proximity to my sister again--admittedly, it may cause the apocalypse, but it would be AWESOME!
