Countdown

I cannot WAIT for this week to be OVER. I'm usually really good about living out of two places at once while catsitting, but this time I cannot get my shit together and my workouts have been suffering and the dojang is closed Thursday and Friday for the big re-opening. I finally found my sports bra, but now I have no pants. I'll do HIIT on the parents' treadmill in the privacy of their house.

My calendar is off by one day, I thought my folks were coming home tomorrow afternoon, but it will be Saturday. This foils my plans to go fishing over the weekend which is actually ok. Camping with Japanese people generally involves huge amounts of starchy food and alcohol. Instead, I'll have this weekend to clean out the fridge, go grocery shopping, do some cooking, move back into my place, probably lug more logs and go for a good hike.

On the plus side, I've been sleeping really well. Howlie-Yowlie is extremely well behaved when other cats are around, but I know that will change as soon as we get back to the condo.

In other news, I met Jeff King! Neurological problems have been popping up in sled dogs and while a lot of mushers just quietly cull the pups, he is interested in finding out what's going on. We made a lab road trip to his kennel and helped a colleague take blood samples from like 40 puppies, parents, aunties and uncles. The puppy runs have giant hamster wheels in them and it's hilarious to watch the pups cram in and run.
