getting in the swing of things
i think the routine has settled in, that is i'm used to doing things with zero sleep and staying up half the night. i walk around as if through a fog, and woe is the person who made plans with me, i'm sure i forgot. i'm seriously trying here, people, but when the eyes close there's nothing i can do about it.
i did go to the Velo Bella race, an awesome event and full of sass as expected. a killer course with five steep runs, a big drop in straight down into the start-finish area, lots of twisties and tricks. i felt good again, not cuz i got any sleep, lordy no, i had none of that, but i pulled out the win none-the-less. i thought i was going to bust a lung several times, though. i heard several "go faster" and "make it look harder" comments from hecklers who obviously forgot their race not a hour or two before and how hard the course was. i was hurting, people, i've just perfected my poker face over the years. i had a blast though, and a big thanks to all the Bellas who worked so hard to make the first race go off great. i can't wait for the halloween race, i have an idea for a costume already.
Chase was a month on sunday too, he's starting to come out of his shell (my mom says he's hatching) and seriously interact with everybody. he already knows where the action is, and he was flirting with all the Bellas in his suave little way. nothing like little cooing noises to melt a girl's heart, right? just wait til you have to change his diaper; honeymoon's over then. he's giving everyone big smiles now and is awake a fair bit more, so i'm getting to see what he likes (the blinds) and doesn't (being alone). also, he wears himself out a bit during the day with all his flirting and inspection, so he's adding 30-90 minutes to every night sleep session. may not sound like a lot but it's like nectar to exhausted parents.
i also found out how to work Skype on my computer and so i've been talking to my bro in Taipei for free and it's easier to get coordinated with the IM right there too. if you need to talk overseas check it out it could save you a ton of money.
Back to work, the baby's crying.
