I didn’t mention the other day how my five mile run went. It was a group run, and I think I made a new friend, Emily. She’s about my age, and we’re about the same speed (right now, anyway) so I’m happy about that. The run went well, even though it was hot. We’re having another group run this weekend, and it’s at 6 a.m., so hopefully it won’t be as hot.

Got a temp job yesterday. Decided to call Adecco to get back on their list, and they had a job come in right as I was calling. So it’s $8 an hour (more than B&N, at least) and indefinite. So I’m pretty happy about that. Got my first unemployment check today, and it was $105. So yeah…won’t be living off that!

Ran four miles on the treadmill last night. Other than the fact that my right knee and ankle hurt, it went well. I think I banged my ankle on something while riding Terry’s bike yesterday. I hope that’s why it hurt and not any more sinister reason.

We had an almost-hurricane on Monday. It rained a LOT, but nothing major happened. George and I were watching a Star Trek movie (I promised…) and the power went out. Saved! Of course, now we have to watch it anyway, so I was only able to delay the inevitable.

Taking my computer in to get fixed so I can update my website and figure out how much money I’ve earned so far…

Eva (Irish friend of Annie’s) went home yesterday. We had lots of fun on Monday, getting trapped in the French Quarter, got soaked, almost blown away. Whoops! This is why you shouldn’t go out in a hurricane!
