Oh crap, WDSM - you're right! I was thinking of a relay totaling 800 meters. It's been about 20 years since my last track meet as a parent/spectator...so I plead forgetfulness.

In JH, I ran the 400 and 800. At our conference meet, one girl didn't want to run her leg of the 4x200. She came up to me and asked me to do it. I don't think she or I got permission from a coach, we just did it. Soooo...I ran the first leg. Luckily, they had us all practice baton handoffs just in case, so I was "practiced" in that. Think we placed 4th.
I forgot to let y'all know, but I did end up accepting a job offer last week. It wasn't with my current company, they just couldn't get things rolling quickly enough. I was definitely the front runner at my current company but I wasn't given any guarantees, so I took the only other offer that I had (which I was on a deadline for). The 3rd company was still taking their time, letting me know I was still in consideration but delaying their decision a couple of times (which pretty much told me that I wasn't their first choice and they were waiting on someone else to decide).
I'm happy with the location and I think the job will be satisfying and will help further my career more quickly, even though it probably wasn't the first choice in my heart. This was a choice that my brain had to make to make sure I didn't end up getting screwed over (although like I said, I still probably would have had an offer eventually from my current company).
So now all that's left is to finish up my classes and graduate next weekend... Crunch time is here again.

The shingles rash has been receding. The discomfort is still there and I still get a some shooting pains at times but it isn't the awful constant burning like those first few days. I'm sure the antiviral medication and steroids helped with that. Hopefully my skin will be cleared up within the next week.
The house we grew up in is up for sale. Was able to see the listing and the photos of the inside. Two of my sisters that still live out there went to the open house so they could see it for real. The St. Francis statue is still in the back yard. Been there for over 50 years. My sister wanted to steal it. My other sister said let's hold off on the larceny and see if they'll sell it or give it to us.
I guess our next door neighbor that is still there is going to go over and ask about it.

You might want to consider getting the vaccine after the appropriate time has passed.
I'm like 40% sure it's not technically breaking a commandment if the item you steal is religious in nature. You should be good to go.
My doctor says he wouldn't even prescribe the shot unless you were 65. Also from what I have gathered, once you have shingles your chance of getting them again is about 1% which is the same as if you got the shot. Now I've heard rumor there is a new shot coming out. Maybe it's 100% effective.
Mine recommended at 60, which is where most of the literature I've seen has recommended. I hadn't heard about the new option...but PapaLew will tell you that I complain every time the commercial for the current one (Zostervax?) comes on, because both the virus and the vaccine are apparently British. I find that annoying and pretentious on American television.
We did our qualifier in KC early April. Our top 14U club team (not the one we were on) will do nationals there in June. They are coached by ISU volleyball associate head coach Dawn Sullivan, her daughter is on the team.
This one? Damn Brits. Didn't we fight a war so they had to leave us alone?Mine recommended at 60, which is where most of the literature I've seen has recommended.

Also wonder why taped announcements at Des Moines airport are in a douchey British accent.
Am I the only one here that likes British accents?

Am I the only person on RTT that enjoys watching the critters in our "yard"?
I don't really spend much time with your "yard."
Go to "The Midlands" in the UK. I was on a bus going to Wolverhampton and some guy was arguing with his flat mate or something on his cell phone very loudly the whole 30 minute ride. Outside of the swear words I barely understood a thing he said.
I need to get our pictures more organized/all in one place. Kindergartener needs a baby picture for "B" day Thursday. Pull up pictures on new computer, not there. Go to old computer, find the pictures. Go to print. That computer no longer hooked up to printer. Upload to drive, switch back to new computer, print. I am horrible with baby books, and considering she is #3 there are very few printed pics. Next year the 6th grader will have a big project that will need lots of pictures. I had better start finding them now.
