And boy are my arms tired!
This will be like the Shepard's Pie of LiveJournal entries... like Twitter, but in complete sentences.
1. My arms BURN like acid is running in my veins! As I worked through the repetitions on the digital weight machines yesterday morning, it seemed pretty wimpy. I saw numbers like "average weight: 10 pounds" or something, and I thought, gee, that doesn't seem like very much! It also seemed so easy while I was doing it, how could it be useful? Because as we all know, if the mouthwash doesn't taste mediciney, it isn't working! Let me tell you. It worked alright. I have all but lost the use of my arms! My biceps and triceps (and thank you, Early Morning Cardio Death Camp for teaching me where my triceps are) I am so very glad that I decided to stay home from this morning's potential workout at the YMCA. I did 40 minutes of much needed yoga on the living room floor instead. I think it's only because of that practice that I have the use of my arms at all. Mother! Okay, note to self: Must work go through digital weight machines circuit at least once a week.
2. I mentioned that one of my coworkers is going to the Inauguration. While she was online buying some stylish Democratic swag for herself, she bought me two buttons and gave them to me today: "YES WE DID!" and my favorite, "I voted for PRESIDENT Obama." It reminds me a little bit of, "They call me MISTER Tibbs," which I find much appropriate. I have these on my backpack now so I can sport them everywhere.
3. My little Patagonia backpack is quite possibly made of materials found only in the space program. It did not take well to my attempts to piece it with buttons. Man! That is some resilient stuff!
4. Somehow I managed to earn a perfect score on the pile of steaming dung that I turned in for my English paper last week. That ain't right. I've officially lost faith in our public community colleges. Therefore I decided to go ahead and write this week's paper on "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" on the same sort of whim, turn it in, and see what happens!
5. Out at lunch today I saw a bumper sticker on a car for, "Atheists for Obama." I remarked how much I'd like it. My Republican Christian coworker with me chided me in a friendly manner, urging me not to put a sticker like that on my car so that people won't judge me. I laughed and said that I'd accept that if she also asked all her Christian friends not to put Christianity-themed bumper stickers on their cars. "Why would I do that?" she asked in genuine innocence. I had to laugh, really.
