Crawling/Scrambling Under the Wire

For a ‘not very eventful’ Saturday, I sure have been busy. Or at least, it seems that way. What other explanation could there be for my arriving here at such a late hour. It’s all because of the gym.


Yes, that’s right - the gym.


I had the bestest of bestests intentions of going this morning - but that was impossible. After all, it was Saturday - and I had all the Saturday papers to go through and read - and there are lots of sections in 2 papers.


Plus - I had some ‘other’ writing that needed to be done - 2 separate items - both of which, were accomplished.


Then, there was a moment of losing focus, remembering to focus, and then moving on with the day.


This is where the gym happens.


I was only going to do a little cardio but, as so often happens, once I’m in there, I can’t help but continue working out.


And so I did.


After 40 minutes on the treadmill, I began a weight workout with leg presses - 180 lbs for a total of 156 presses in 2 positions - it’s a lot.


I was planning on stopping there but then thought that I could do just a couple of curls and be done with it. But they felt so good, I had to move on to something else.


Let me just say that 2 hours later, I finally left the gym feeling quite satisfied -if rather spent.


Once I’d cooled down and got myself ‘in order’, I had another task to perform (it will remain unremarked - you don’t need to know everything!), involving calculators and number crunching before it was time to begin thinking about what the next step might be.


This was an easy one - a glass of wine before dinner - perfect.


But even more perfect was the fact that we were eating out and there would be no cooking!


YAY!


A bit of Thai.


It was good.


The service:


Not good.


Oh, well.


A good time was had.


And now -


It’s time


for


bed.
