This was a tough weekend--probably the most physically stressful couple of days I've had in awhile.
Our first "brick" workout was Saturday morning. I got up early to get everything ready and drove out to Coronado to bike for an hour and then run for 15 minutes at the Silver Strand. My calves felt like they were ripping off of my legs when I started the run, but by the time I was done I could totally understand how people get hooked on triathlon. The rush of pushing my limits felt really good.
Then it was a quick drive home, shower and off to work, where I started off knowing that I had four procedures as the on-call person, but ended up doing a total of eight. Unfortunately, I had also scheduled myself to do an overnight shift, so I was at work from 10:45 on Saturday morning to 9:45 on Sunday morning. So, yeah, eight procedures, 84 studies to read, then two more procedures, then home to change clothes and go to church.
It was probably a good idea to go to Sacrament Meeting today, because one of the bishopric counselors snagged me as I was going out the door to go home and sleep. There is a new calling in my future, one that I have felt for the past couple of years was where I was headed. I'm sad to leave my Stake Primary calling, but definitely ready for this new challenge, and so excited to work with the people with whom I will be serving. Full report to follow, but I won't say more until it's official.
Lastly, I have a wild hair right now to get new furniture for our living room. It's a tiny space, so I was thinking that a smaller sofa and a couple of comfortable chairs would be good. This decorating madness probably was brought on by our visit last weekend at my Mom and Dad's and sister's in Austin.
My parents just moved to a new home in Georgetown, TX. It's the first home that they're built themselves, and it's just perfect for them. They chose lovely colors, and the layout is really nice. They are very happy in it, and I can see why. It was also my first trip to my sister's "new" house, though she has lived there for two years or more. She can really put things together well, and every one of her homes has been attractive and comfortable.

Love the furniture! I am hoping that in our next move we can just leave some of our furniture behind and replace it with some new. Can't wait to hear about your new calling. Funny, you know Read Knokelby, sp. They were in my parents ward growing up. I love them both, they are a super awesome family. I have a link to their blog on mine too.
