Too early...
Our kittens are getting into this routine of when we get up- And even though I didn't have to be up early today, it didn't really matter to Raimi, who got under the covers and did a purring perimeter of my body, giving little licks at my feet, popping out of the covers at my face and licking my nose... He's too damn cute to be angry at, and the way he danced around my feet with joy when we got out of bed before stampeding around the house just cements the fact that he was just happy to see us...
AAaaargh... Guess I'll be getting alot accomplished today- And I do have alot to do.
Yesterday Dana & I drove out to Orleans, met a lovely retired couple who were selling their son's home gym.
We each paid our 40 bucks, the husband took it apart with me, being careful to remind me of what part he was removing goes where, so that I would be alright to put it back together. We managed to stuff the thing in the car, (leaving barely enough room for me) and it's now sitting in a million pieces in our basement. It was an enormously positive experience, they were so kind- And the thing is worth so much more than what we paid for it!
Internet- I love you.
No really.
I really, really love you.
I can't wait to get this thing assembled- When I was going to the gym regularly, I was seeing changes develop really rapidly, and my back & neck pain, and headaches, were fewer & farther between. This machine is a smaller version of the one at the gym, but I get to use without other people leering at me, waiting for their turn, or without guys watching me use it, guys I have to see in a work context(the gym is the one in the hospital, for the staff)... I stopped going largely because I was no longer comfortable. Which made me sad. Regular "anonymous" gyms were just too far out of my price range, compared to the piddly 20 bucks a month at the one at work.
But no matter.
And with all the recent gang activity in our neighborhood, it really wouldn't hurt to be just a little stronger.
