Monday = Frustrating Day!

Monday started off well and had some good moments but the two things on my agenda, the two things I had to do but was looking forward to doing ended up being a little aggravating!

A college friend and I have been going back and forth for a couple months about getting together for beers. Last week he told me that he had today off. I emailed on Thursday about picking a time and place. He never replied. So, I figured we weren't meeting up. I got up 9, did some stuff around the house, read...didn't shower or anything, no rush...except he calls at 11:30 wanting to meet at 12:30 at a place that's at least a 20 minute drive for me. He mentioned dinner instead but I had a date with cycle class so I said I'd haul ass and meet him anyway. It turned out okay but it was annoying to have to get ready that fast.

Anyway, after lunch I came home, did some clean up and took the sheets and towels to the laundromat (hence previous post and the creepy talking lady). Came home, put away clean stuff, watched some tv, made some phone calls and left to go to the gym.

The summer fitness class schedule starts today and cycle class was moved 1/2 hour, from 6 to 6:30. I was a little paranoid that someone somewhere wouldn't get the message so I confirmed every which way I could; I even called the group fitness director who confirmed 6:30 start. Except...when I walked into the cycle room at 6:15 CLASS WAS ALREADY GOING. Apparently, instructor Tim really didn't get the message. And fitness director was teaching a class so I couldn't let him know about the mix-up either. Ugh. Is it really that hard to let instructors know about schedule changes? Apparently yes. I'm not really mad but it is my fav cardio (well, only cardio) workout for the week and I still want to find away to confirm it doesn't happen next week. I thought I had the director's email address but I don't...might have to track him down tomorrow when I go to yoga. Ugh. Again.

Now I'm home. Consoling myself with tortilla chips and NCIS reruns because Michael Weatherly always makes me feel better. I should probably work out but...I've lost my motivation now. I haven't done any exercise since Yoga on Thursday.

Friday was a disaster. I'd taken Tylenol with Codeine around 4 when I woke up with a toothache. I was still feeling some side effects over 12 hours later. Nothing bad, just a general overall body lightness and total lack of energy. So, I accomplished nothing.

Saturday I was up by 9 and at noon went to my brother's. He wanted me to let his dog out while he was gone all day but his roommates were home (something he didn't check) so I was not needed. I ended up hanging out over there and had a couple beers with them. Random but an enjoyable afternoon. On the way home, I stopped at Target for some items and found Top Gun on dvd for $7.50. I was halfway through it (and had made significant progress on the puzzle I'd started last week) when my friend Rachel texted me, looking for a partner in crime for a night out. We went to Bonfire on Grand Avenue for the dueling pianos and, when we'd gotten sufficiently toasted and obnoxious, we went to the Wild Onion to dance. We just forgot that we actually hate that place. It's filled (and I mean that literally; you can hardly move) with college kids and some of them are pretty skeevy. Alas, I was home by 2:30 and asleep by 3:30 but I still got up at 9.

I just didn't stay up for long. I napped off and on and stayed in my pjs ALL day. I wasn't hungover just...bored. So, thing productive done yesterday either.

Which brings us to today. I'm going to go back to my chips and salsa and try to work up the groove to do something exercise related at 8.

Wish me luck!
