I worked out this morning with my usual gang. There was a lot of heavy breathing and sweating going on (maybe even with some of the other girls as well!) so it was a good one. I judge all exercise by how sweaty my clothes and hair are afterward! I saw a quote once that said "If you look good after working out than you didn't work hard enough." I've so got that covered! After a workout I go straight home, up the stairs and into the shower. I don't check my email, I don't ask anyone anything; I shout "Hello, I'm home" and head straight upstairs !
But not today. No, today I sit at my computer breathing in my own stink and even getting a chill from the sweaty clothes still on my back. I have, at current count, five things on my calendar that MUST be done by the time I pick the kids up at school for their piano lessons and taking a shower isn't even included in the count. Yet I sit here. I'm actually starting to prioritize them so just in case they don't get done...! I know I'm going to feel like a million bucks after I'm cleaned up, but still... There are so many stairs to go up and my chair is so comfortable!
And so I go, I really must. I will tear myself away from my faithful PC and my cushy chair and be the responsible adult I think I am...or strive to be...most of the time...! I will take my shower, dry my hair, put on some make-up (a requirement!), and face the 19 degree day and accomplish most, if not all, of my tasks! (I think I hear the National Anthem playing in the distance).
So farewell, dear friends, until the next time I plant my butt in this here comfy chair!! May your day's accomplishments outweigh your excuses not to do them!
