Happy 4th July.

We were visited by the roaming fire-work brigade last night. ( safe and sane still sets stuff on fire )

Projects. Yay!

I was going to warp the loom on Wednesday, but I left the warping pattern at work. (boo!) But realized I needed to "make hay while the sun was shining", so I cracked the whip on another project.

Fitness blah-g

Overall:
I get home from the gym and I'm just a puddle of exhaustion, which was not the case before I reworked my program.

Last night I was in denial after hanging with the neighbors and scaring away fire-cracker bearing kids. Instead of going to bed, which is what my internal exhaustion-meter was screaming at me, I logged onto CoH to play w/ hubby. After 5 minutes I almost face-planted the keyboard. I kept closing my eyes and waking up to being defeated. I gave up. I did manage to turn off the computer and then I fell asleep in front of it with my head in my arms while waiting for hubby to be done. How's that for romantic? hahaha! Next time I'll go to bed.

I think that I can say with total confidence that I am giving my work-outs serious energy input and not stinting on effort level.

Today is Thursday, which is my day of rest. I think my body is greatful; everything is achey and will perform better after getting some recovery. Thursday is the day that might be a play, or a night with an apprentice or a night reading a book or maybe taking family out. But it's not a night at the gym. My compulsive brain suggested I go roller-blading at lunch, but I've sent "that" voice to the corner for a time-out. I'm locked in my office with work and I will take 30 minutes for myself, but I won't be exercising.

I feel really good.
