My sleeping bag got ruined in the wash. No idea how, though I should've suspected something when it didn't fit so easily in the washing machine. I really had to stuff it in there. After coming home from Walmart, the cycle was done, and part of the bag is ripped and it's not a small rip either. I was thinking to myself "what are those white fluffy things that look like stuffing?" It's the inside of the sleeping bag! I didn't pay too much for it, so it's not that bad, but I'm going to miss the old sleeping bag.
I feel so much better after my camping trip. It was exactly what I needed. It was alright heading back to work. The best part was finding out I have Wednesday off. I could use it for a nice transition back into non-camping life. I woke up Monday morning and almost felt like I was back in that tent. Then today I woke up at 6:30am. I haven't taken a nap yet. I might a bit later before work.
Work yesterday went by fast which is the way I wanted it, and I got to tell my co-worker how my camping trip went minus all the really good stuff. I mean I told her about the hiking and the hotdogs, but nothing about how wonderful the company was. Which is why I went in the first place, to get back in touch with everyone and to recharge myself. I am feeling more energetic than I have in the past few weeks. I did the 100pushup challenge yesterday and that was tough because I haven't done it for weeks, and I started with the week I left off at. The minimum pushups to do was 32 and I made it to 33, but I ended up almost collapsing on the floor. I had to lay on the floor for maybe 5 minutes before I could get up. I never knew how important my arms were to help me off the floor. I'm hoping I can do Day 2 of Week 4 tomorrow.
I got a haircut today which I had put off yesterday because I had meant to go yesterday. So I've gone from a scraggly camper to a polished gentleman, maybe.
Tomorrow I might actually go see Transformers. So many people have been telling me how good it is and that I should go see it, so I guess I will go. I was afraid it wouldn't be as good as the first Transformers was or it would be exactly the same.
It's great to be back though, and I'm trying to get back into my normal routine again.
