Monday March 31, 2014 -- Missed

Another missed day! Gah!

I was too tired when I got home this morning to go for a walk. I talked with my roomie and she suggested I just go to bed and she'd go for a walk with me when she got home sometime after 5 PM. I said OK and off to bed I went. I was in bed and sleeping after 8 AM. I woke up around noon to go to the bathroom and was blinded when I opened my cave door. Man! That light was bright!

After I finished, I went back to my room, laid down, and couldn't get back to sleep. I sat in bed, tossing and turning, with my face mask on, willing myself to fall asleep. I did this for about an hour. I decided after that, there's no point in trying to fight it. I thought about taking a walk but then decided against it, since I would be going with my roomie later. So, I read. I this eventually worked in making my eyes tired and so, four hours later, I was able to fall asleep.

I was woken by my alarm at 7:50 PM. The house lights were off so I knew my roommate wasn't home. I saw a coffee cup in the sink and a damp towel in the bathroom -- both signs she had been there earlier. Where was she?

I got in the shower and was almost done when she got home. She said she had forgotten to wake me up. She was so distracted and frazzled when she got home she took a shower and then went for a walk (instead of taking a walk and then taking a shower, the logical choice). She's started this new course at work and it's going to be, in her words, hell.

After I packed my lunch, I headed out. On my way to work, I hit a bunny. There's no way I could have avoided the collision -- an oncoming car and no shoulder. I was on time for work and was able to enjoy some of our wonderful end-of-March weather. The saying really is true: In like a lion, out like a lamb.

I got to work and did a mild cardio of cleaning our booth. It's not a 2.5 mile walk but its something. Tomorrow's the start of a new month and a clean slate.

Cheers!
