Shipped my wedding dress back. Felt like I was having a melt down decided on Tuesday at 10 am or Tuesday at end of day. Money stresses me out sometimes, and one was double the price of the other.

Went to yoga. New instructor, which usually brings some anxiety, and she did sun salutations which usually bring huge anxiety, but she was awesome and taught me so much and I even kind of enjoyed them. I LOVE my regular instructor, but it's good to learn from a variety of people, they all have something different to offer. She was very gentle and watched to see where exactly I struggled and gave me a fix.

Mopped floors, laundry, etc.

Went to the pool. Wrote about it on facebook. Basically three 14 year old girls from El Salvador were harassing my upstairs neighbour. He's such a sweetheart, from India. Arranged marriage, very traditional, very gentle and kind. He was there with his nephew who is also sweet and kind and quiet. These three girls were being crass and rude and obnoxious and were pissing me off. After watching it for about 20 minutes, I swam over and quietly said "Hey girls, it's not cool to act like assholes in the pool. Stop harassing him or I will go speak to the lifeguard. He's married and you are making him uncomfortable and it needs to stop". (They were asking him if he wanted to date them, if he grew hair anywhere else besides his moustache, etc)

Then then went off and threatened to beat me up, called me fat, said I was "staring" at them, called one girl's mom and complained about me, tried to intimidate me by swimming VERY close to me, called over kids and told them that they didn't like me because I "said a swear word to them" (but they were using the f word everywhere). Some of it I heard, some of it another woman told me. Two people came over and thanked me for shutting them up, they were making such a scene that even though I was quiet, people were watching.

After 2.5 hours of swimming, I got out and pulled up a chair beside the lifeguard and told him what happened. Maybe 2 minutes after I started talking to him, they had gathered up their stuff and took off. I think they knew they'd be in shit.

I felt so uncomfortable because I didn't want to make it into a big issue, but I just couldn't watch it anymore. Then I worried they were going to jump me, so I kept my cell phone open to call 911 :P


Dinner with Tim and Reagan, lots of snuggles with Reagan. She was emotional about the weekend move again, but she was very happy to be here.

Well this afternoon is feeling very accomplished. Practicum journals are completed, presentation is done, grant application is mailed, chemistry is almost finished. Thanks to some great (smarter than me friends) {does that make me evil?}

Saturday and Sunday were hours of chemistry. Went to Trina's and we worked "together" on it. Managed to get most done. 3 hours later... Just a few labs to complete. Have to figure out how to draw Isomers of C5H12 (etc...) and have no idea what to do. Think that will be one lab that just won't be completed. Hate to think what will be on the exam.

Lawn is mowed thanks to paying a teenager... bathrooms the same.

I am writing this only to say that I feel like an incredible load has been lifted from my shoulders. Actually said "NO" to someone yesterday (v. hard for me to do) and she turned around and asked me to do something else for her and I said "NO" again. They were stupid things that she could easily do herself or perhaps ask someone who doesn't work constantly... Proud of myself... anyways, probably boring journal entries for any readers... I'll try to think up some dirty thoughts or something for later *titter*
I'm too clean to do that....
