I'm in a state of total knackeredness. It's all down to this evening's Body Jam class, which was great - but really took it out of me. I suspect I didn't have as much of 'it' in me at the start as I'd thought! I tend to be a little complacent about my fitness, because I've got "an active job" - but it's not so active this time of year; nor am I. Gulp! Must be more active *nods*.
Incidentally, the class is super-popular, to the extent that when booking opens the week prior to a class, it's full up within an hour or so (booking opens at 6.30 am). So until I found the motivation to wake myself up just to book into the class, bang on 6.30, I wasn't able to get on it. I managed it this morning, for next week, so feeling victorious.
I'm sort of pleased about how my report is going at work, in that I've done most of the number-crunching stats stuff, I think, to start on writing up the basic results. Last year was a huge effort, because not only was I working on that year's data, I was also overhauling all the previous surveys' data and compiling lots of new stuff too, so that I ended up pulling really long days - and evenings - in the office. This years is fairly simple, and I now have a template to work from (thanks to last year's slog). So hopefully I'll have time to do some more complex analysis, too. (The report is a stock assessment of the local crab, lobster and velvet crab fisheries, in case it wasn't obvious - which it wasn't :D)
So I may get on to some spatial GIS work soon, which might be fun - cool maps do, at least, look impressive in reports - even if lengthy discussions of intraspecific fisheries interactions and their socio-economics and geography can be pretty dry!
It's Wednesday. Tomorrow is nearly the weekend - yay :)

And yay for nearly the weekend!
(It's actually a sort of franchise - there are Body Jam classes around the world; they have a "new release" (new music and choreography) every three months or so. So, in theory, I could show up to any Jam class around the country and be doing a very similar workout.)
