Thursday Varied

After yesterday and talking through steps 1-3, as well as the rest of the conversation I feel so much better today!!!

She pointed out some things that I hadn't realized, or I had but hadn't taken the time to note that they were significant.

A friend of mine asked me today how married life is going. I was able to answer honestly that last week was rough and I got really discouraged but this week has been a lot better. It's about progress not perfection

Tuesday night I did one of those workout videos, and yes it was an actual VHS tape. I have tons of DVDs but I wanted to see if this particular workout was as tough as I remembered. I think I have the DVD version of the same thing I need to remember to check.

I didn't think it was that challenging but my abs kind of hurt today, I'm shocked. Jack Banner was a little confused about why I was on the floor, he thought it meant it was play time, so I implemented him for resistance on my ab work, he wasn't a fan.

I left my office yesterday afternoon and was holding my breath as far as what traffic would be like. Fortunately for me I was easily able to make my way up the highways and traffic was even a little lighter then usual.

I cleaned the office and headed home. We went to out to dinner, which was nice. Then I didn't let myself sit down I changed and headed out to the gym.

Last night at the gym the music playing was taking me back, Shaggy took me back to my college days. Then there was Matchbox 20, college again. Another song took me right back to 2004 and still another took me back 2 years ago. Saturday they played a Nirvana song and I texted Patrice and pointed out that this song is well over 20 years old and how weird is that and when did we get old.

Mr. Clean is 9 years older then me and I think I give him a lot of I must be old moments.

Today is the final day of the DNC. I'm glad that everything will be returning to normal around here!

Girl Clean will be starting back to ballet this Saturday. I'm excited for her. I'm also thankful that we're doing the hand off at class. This means that her mom gets her ready and I won't be quite as pushed for my 8 mile run that has to get done on Saturday morning.

My time is ridiculously slow. Tonight I'm going to drive the route I hope to run to make sure that it's safe. I'm also going to see about purchasing some mace to carry with me. Since I'll be starting the run before the sun comes up I am a little concerned about taking extra safety measures.

Tomorrow night I will make sure that I go to bed early, so that I can wake up early, and get this 8 miler done!

I'm thankful that this has been a short week. I'm thankful that tomorrow is payday, even if it's all gone out before it's even there. I'm thankful that I'm not where I was, and I'm right where I'm supposed to be!
