After a very relaxing weekend it’s back to the ole grind. I know it Thursday and almost time for another week end but I really haven’t had time to blog until now. I had a great weekend. Friday I got off work two hours early with pay. I am sad to say that right after I left my supervisor texted me to tell me she had gotten me a red velvet cupcake. I have the best co-workers. Because I had the entire afternoon off I went to East Lake to visit with Jeremy. We washed our cars. My car had bird poop all over it so it was nice for it to finally be clean. The rest of my weekend was nice and slow. Saturday I did go see 101 Dalmatians. By far the WORST musical I have ever seen. The story wasn’t the one I’m used to. Yeah, I get that it was based off the book and not the Disney move but come on! The songs were stupid, the theatre was loud and distracting, and out of the whole row of kids sitting in front of us, I got the seat behind the tallest man in the world. Well, maybe not the tallest man in the world but he was pretty freaking tall. The people playing people were on stilts and some of the actors couldn’t walk very well in them and they just looked like they would fall over at any moment. The only plus to the show was when the real Dalmatians ran across the stage and at the end when they did a bunch of tricks. It was really neat because they were all rescue dogs. After the show we went to Botega café. That was the part of the evening I was looking forward to. It ended up being a really nice night.
I was off Monday. That was really nice. Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty busy days. I didn’t even have time to get in a chapter in my book. The one I’m reading, not the one I’m writing. I don’t think I’ll ever write a book. ANYWAY, I actually had work to do. Tuesday I got a call from a participant’s daughter looking for the girl whose job I took over. I told her that she doesn’t work here any more and the daughter proceeded to tell me that her mother, the participant had died the day before. Now, I had practiced this type of call, I even sat in the week before on this type of call. But those were thing that you could prepare for and have time to wrap your thoughts around. This was a “catch you off guard” type call. I tried my best to gather all the info I could and I was difficult to hear the sadness in the voice of the daughter. Notifications of Deaths are not that common in this study and we had two in two weeks. After the first one my boss told me that I wouldn’t have to worry about it for a while. Not true. I think given the circumstances I handled myself fairly well.
This warm weather is making me realize that spring is approaching fast and if I want to be swimsuit ready then I need to get my butt moving and shed these winter pounds. My original thought was to do Tae Bo in the morning and Yoga before bed. But after the first two mornings of hitting the snooze button I realized that that wasn’t going to happen so now I’m going to do yoga in the morning and Tae Bo at night and then light yoga before bed. I think yoga in the morning is a great idea because I feel relaxed and awake and calm. Namaste.
