song of the road

Well, made it to the gym today as well. So far so good this week. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for the rest of the week. Even yesterday nigt after dinner, I was feeling restless and started to watch an old DVD - 3rd season of “Everybody loves Raymond”. Still somehow managed to get to bed by 11:30 pm. Went to gym a bit late, but made it. I need to wake up at least an hour earlier to be on time. I am keeping that on hold till S returns. Meanwhile I need to at least go everyday.

Today went back to 70 kg but I think that is because my periods should start in a day or two. So can wait a bit before panicking. Today also could cram in 15 mins of warm up, 15 mins of abs and 45 mins of cardio. Though I am doing fewer squats (that too without weights), need to go up soon. They have misplaced my exercise card in gym too. I will let S deal with that once he is back. Talked to him and he seemed to be feeling somewhat better. sounded exasperated.

Also I need to tackle my second biggest problem of after dinner sancking. Must must stop. It is so unnecessary. I still feel it is my blood sugar medication. Need to go to the hospital sometime tomorrow or day after and check out their schedule. Must take mom and myself there this Saturday. Also have my massage appointment Saturday afternoon. Somehow need to juggle all that. At times life feels nothing but a never ending list of chores. Doesn’t look like I will get on top of it soon, either. But I am hanging on, things should be better.

I think I would check out the CBTs available on time management on our company website today. It might help. I am already feeling a little bit overwhelmed by the things I anyway need to do at work. Yes, Ruby Jean, you found me out - I am in IT. :)  Anyway, I mostly make a list of things to do and keep on doing them one by one without stopping to think which panics me. I tell myself, the most I can do is work hard for 8-10 hours a day. Whatever’s still left - well, I will try to either delegate or they will have to wait. God, I spend so much time only mailing and meeting. :)  But that’s why they pay me.

I have bought two packs of flavored tea bags yesterday. One is plain lemon which is good. The other one is an organic tea which has quite a few herbs and spices. It is really aromatic and nice. I specially love the smell of cinammon. My work drawer is smelling so nice too because of it. That’s the other thing - need to clean the pile of junk stashed there.

Well… that’s all for now. Everyone have a good day. Soclose - thank you sooo much for the lovely book recommendations. I am jotting them down for my next visit to the library. That reminds me - Ruby Jean, have you read Amy Tan? I think you will love her.
