So Sore!

I haven't posted in a while because I've been utterly exhausted. Last week, Z and I joined the Y, and we've been working out pretty often. We've been going to use treadmills/weight machines in the evenings (I only use the treadmill), and I've been going to Pilates class on Tues/Thurs, but on Monday of this week I decided to try out the aerobics class to see how I liked it. I didn't.

It was not just an aerobics class; it was a step class. And it was excruciating. There was no warm up or cool down period. Seriously. It was just nonstop, and I am nowhere near in shape enough to do that. Needless to say, yesterday and today, I have been incredibly sore in my calves. Walking around after sitting is painful, but going up and down our apartment stairs (especially with armfulls of groceries) is atrocious.

This past Sunday Z and I visited a new church, and it seems like it might be a much better fit for us. It is much more traditional (I think I've mentioned how we feel about contemporary services) and it's large with a thriving social scene. We meant to go to Wednesday night services tonight but wound up meeting my brother halfway between Prattvegas and Montevallo for him to bring my official transcript to me. We had a lovely dinner.

I needed my transcript because I'm applying for a job and they requested it. I will have to overnight the application package tomorrow because the job opening officially closes this Friday, and I just found the posting this morning. Oh well.

It is almost time for the Bar exam. I don't know if the B should be capitalized, but it sure as heck feels like it. Only 12 more days until the first day of testing. I cannot wait for this to be over. Z studies an average of 9 hours every singly day, and he is constantly stressed about one factor or another. He can't relax until it's over, but two days after it's over (it's a 3-day exam) he is headed across the country on a business trip. So it'll be mid-August until he's calm again, probably.

Maybe sometime soon I'll have some exciting news, like a new job! You never know.
