Day 169 - 2
Aug. 31st, 2007 08:04 amThe other day,
teasdale asked me if my gym experience had resulted in my feeling better physically and mentally. I told her that physically, absolutely yes. Mentally? I hadn't noticed any difference.
I'd like to retract that last statement. Yesterday was a bad day here at SDHQ for a variety of reasons - all of my own making - it was crammed full of bad juju. Trying to contain the badness so that it did not spill into my work or interactions with other people only made the bad juju into WORSE JUJU.
This morning I got up and came into this living room which is also where I spent all of yesterday and it just felt like I was crawling back into yesterday's crap. But, I put on my gym clothes and grabbed my Zen and figured I'd deal with that later.
Now I'm back. 10 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the rowing machine and reps and I am a new woman. The bad juju is gone. Totally wiped out. I'm ready for a new and better day. And actually a little surprised at the change that occurred in an hour. But, I'm very grateful.

Sort of a combo play room/high rise window lookout/private sleeping area with many nooks and crannies for her to explore and hide in. I really haven't wanted to disturb her. HA!I'm going to have to seriously think about this once I get this pain dosage thing worked out. Maybe I'll borrow your star on the calendar idea to assist me with encouragement and motivation. :)
Glad you're feeling better and I hope that you have a pleasant weekend at SDHQ. You deserve a break.
