Just had great FaceTime chat with my Mom. iPhone is gateway drug; whole family is Switching now! Free video chat is very “tomorrow.”

Crap. Throat is officially sore. Tomorrow’s long run *may* have to be postponed til Tuesday. (cc @laimelde @kunaal84 @mrs_sockvictim)

@missamanda I’ve had desensitisation to dust mites and grass. For like the last 5 years.
@missamanda I used to take a Zyrtec every single day to survive. I’m down to maybe 1/wk or less now. So it’s helped a lot.
@missamanda The stuff was like $150 maybe every 9 months? And then the cost of getting all the shots. Medicare pays some of it.
@missamanda Shots were every 2 wks for first few months, then gradually stretched out to every month as dosage increased.
@missamanda It’s a bit voodoo though. Drs aren’t quite sure how or why it works. And it doesn’t cure totally; just helps mitigate a bit.
@missamanda I only stopped because I was burnt out on going to the doc every single month. You have to commit to that to get any benefits.
@drkknits Go to YouTube and look up John Denver version. That’s the key I’m doing it in!
@knitabulous @drkknits Sadly, yes. But John’s is best!
@drkknits iTunes has heaps. Even Sinatra covered it!
Tonight’s Jamie meal: Wonky Summer Pasta, Herby Salad, Pear Drop Tartlets. Fastest one yet: 33:26!! http://twitpic.com/4oe0m8
Longest run ever tomorrow. I could not be better prepared… with the exception of this stupid cold. Now to try and sleep.
It’s the buttcrack of dawn. Coffee, bagel with peanut butter. Hydrating. I am going to rock this run.

The SMH has a story today about the “Open Forum” at the Humanist Society here in Chippendale. I walk by some Wednesday nights and hear them through the open windows. I like that we have these quirky little societies in our neighbourhood.
I was interested to see that the article made no mention of the whole “Neo-Nazis invade Humanist Society” scandal from last year. Anybody know what finally happened with that? At the time I actually emailed about joining, thinking they could at least use my postal vote to kick out the fascists. But they never did get back to me…
@toastman I am disappointed that’s a fake site, frankly.
No breakfast in the house. We planned to go to Eveleigh Markets. But it’s pissing down, as it always does in Sydney on Easter break. 🙁
The week started out crappy – what with my mystery cheek infection and being on antibiotics and all – but slowly got better. Sunday I went out for a six-miler with the Snook, with a planned “Magic Mile” time trial for the second mile. We pushed hard and I felt like I was going to barf or explode by the end of it. I was thrilled to see our time was 9:46! Using Galloway’s Race Predictor and our average times for the past 3 MMs, that gives me a predicted marathon finish time of 5:39:28. Sweet! Monday I was wiped out so I rested. Tuesday I went out for an easy lunchtime run, and Wednesday I did a Spudds workout. Now we’re on a 5-day Easter/ANZAC day holiday long weekend, so the Snook went with me today for a run to Glebe. My hamstring still isn’t great, but I’m hoping it’ll hold up for Sunday’s long, long one!
Apr. 17: 9.67km
Apr. 19: 5.52km
Apr. 22: 5.80km
Total this week: 20.99km (13.1mi)
Total in 2011: 380.21km (237.6mi)
In order to meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 338.5km right now. So I’ve still got more than 40km worth of cushion. Only 7 weeks to go!
@laimelde I emailed you with my schedule. Should be 10:30 ish?
@laimelde And yay!
@imdominating Oooh. I read the book. I SOBBED AND SOBBED. I can only imagine that I’d sob even more if Viggo was involved.
Yay! @carbolicious got the Easter package I sent. Video of kids opening it is CUTEST THING EVER. http://bit.ly/hvJEOp Love Indie’s GASPS! 🙂
Aww, Red Cross just rang me to personally thank me for donating! That was nice. Makes up for the vicious bruise I’ve had for over a week.
Sometimes the most important thing to do in your day is cheer up a friend who needs it!
@gizo Nuh. Works fine for me!

I thought I was coming down with a cold, and then I had a couple glasses of wine, and now I feel fiiiiiiiine. 🙂
@gizo Don’t be a sad! For I haz friended you.
@redambition Avoid the Long Island Iced Tea. They’re very good. But… BADNESS. ASK ME HOW I KNOW.
@kunaal84 AWESOME. Was it good???
@devvyleys May well be the case! She did a great job, but I still have massive purple splotch on my arm.
@lemon_lime HAVE FUN! Say Bon Voyage from me to Jamie too!
@SallyPompom Very! Please take photos. We miss her. And you! 🙂
