thinking about wdw marathon weekend...

Because I am somewhat in withdrawal from Disney, having not gone to any Disney property since April 😛 I miss Orlando. I know marathon weekend may still be cold, but I still yearn for early morning taper runs along the all-star sports path, spending all day lost in another world, and nights at Disney springs, universal citywalk, and funspot. Who knows, maybe I'll get a funspot pass just so I can ride white lightning every night. Probably not. But you never know.  I should like to fall asleep to the hum of the AC in a cozy all-star sports room after walking along through the swamp on a quick post-dinner walk. The End Zone food court never disappoints.  My only thing is that I wish I was doing a full Universal day but sometimes you just have to go full-blown Disney, no apologies, no regrets. We will see. Maybe I will sneak something in somehow.

Got a beautiful bridgeday yesterday actually

So yeah, opening weekend may have just been worse than I expected, but the second weekend made up for it.  Cornbellys was pretty chill at around 12:45 pm yesterday. No one was there. Football game, maybe, combined with it being a hotter day. Got the pre season experience.  Pros of being injured I guess, if I did Big Cottonwood today I wouldn't have been there so early (or gotten my piece of Jet Star 2)  Nice fall preview! Felt early! There was a calm satisfaction that there are so many run days ahead before winter I where. Like: "hey, we are getting a preview of fall now, but it's still summer!" Then I went to Cherry Hill for closing day and lost myself in the summertime.

Bridgedays has been kind of a letdown so far

Opening day at Cornbelly's wasn't blazing hot, quiet, devoid of people, and still feeling like midsummer, sweating profusely in a hot cornfield with a cider slushie.  Instead, it was 80s (read: comfortable), and packed. Insanely packed for Spanish Fork. Felt like late September/early October packed.  The grilled cheese was having issues due to their power, and then when I ate it, I got kinda sick later. Not that there was anything wrong with it, but rather that my stomach just couldn't take it for some reason.  A bit of a letdown. I've been looking forward to those strange crossover days since early February, but they're not -- this year -- all they've been cracked up to be. I ended up retreating back to my water parks, mostly. Lagoon itself had nice crossover yesterday - haunts almost ready, Thriller playing while at the water park.  But I don't feel  it.  We have one more weekend and IDK.

Buffer time

My schedule as-is hasn't had a lot of buffer time, which kind of sucks because there's this ambient stress of "if anything breaks, I'm screwed." And things will break. Like car tires at the changing of seasons. Ugh So I'm trying to build some in now, without messing with my high mileage protocols. Wish me luck. Also, I need to lift for longer.

A&A technical difficulties

My WordPress site is starting to drive me nuts. It's such a crappy piece of software. Image uploads keep breaking and I can't even access the site in safari right now.  May have to find a better solution, because it's not like I ever even got WP dev interviews back when I was applying for jobs.
