my friends keep saying that i need to post about my weekend. specifically, saturday. twas interesting, i'll grant them that, but personally, i like interesting weekends that DON'T involve me nearly passing out. but maybe that's just me.
i had my typical friday (busy). nothing interesting, unusual, or out of the ordinary.
saturday on the other hand...
woke up way earlier than i wanted. i hadn't gotten to sleep until sometime close to midnight, and woke up at 5. i had tried to get to bed earlier so i could get decent sleep before the swim meet, but it obviously didn't work well. i spent a very BORING morning with my running-around sisters. i dropped off the youngest 2 at the mithrandirs house for the duration of the swim meet (there shall never be a time that i want to babysit during a meet) and picked up finwe who was quite willing to get out of the house while they were there. ;) at the swim meet, things got bad. warmups got pushed back an extra 15 minutes. after warmups, i was hyperventilating; my heart rate was too fast; and these were putting me close to blacking out. it took more than half an hour for me to semi-recover from that. X_X ick. after each of my three events (at the very end of the meet -- of course :P) i would start hyperventilating again. overall, not my favorite swim meet.
but it just got worse from there! i went to pick up my little sisters (after the swim meet ended 3 hours late, at 7 instead of 4), and came close to passing out again. this recovery period took a lot longer though...we ended up leaving the mithrandirs' about 9:30.
what caused this? lack of calories. i hadn't eaten anything all day. after they forced me to eat some saltines, i started feeling much better. even so, by the time we got home, i was exhausted. BUT the babysitter who was supposed to be there at 10 didn't get here until 12:30. i didn't get to sleep until 1, and woke up at 6...
now is it easier to understand why i did NOT like my weekend?
