Very blah day.  I wish it were Friday – this week has just been bad.  My desk is a nightmare.  I wish I were able to get in the habit of taking 10 minutes at the end of the day to jot down what I did that day so that I wouldn’t feel like the day was unproductive when I don’t finish work that I intended to.  It would help to see why that happens – meetings and conference calls, time spent on unexpected/unplanned assignments or problems. 

I didn’t go to the gym last night, but I did get a good workout in my basement.  I decided to do my Margaret Richards “Sculpture” dvd – the upper body workout only.  It’s 50 min long and it’s a toughie (for me).  My shoulders were burning, and I think I will be in a world of hurt later this afternoon.  My shoulders and pecs are already sore.  My abs were still sore from Monday’s workout, so I was feeling soreness in my abs during the ab section last night and expect more soreness later in the day.  I bought a couple MR dvds several years ago that I find challenging, but I prefer MR on the Body Electric exercise series because her personality comes out more in the shows and because there are 20+ shows in a series/season, I don’t get tired of doing the same workouts.  I’m generally not a video exerciser anyway, but I do like MR.  It’s a nice change of pace to exercise at home every once in a while. 

Dinner was a hot dog, potato salad, and baked beans. 

This morning I had to buy a ticket on the train because I didn’t have my new April monthly pass – it came in the mail, but I didn’t put it in my wallet.  I already bought my ticket home so I don’t run out of time tonight and get stuck paying another surcharge for buying my ticket on the train when I could have bought it from the station ticket window.  So any money I saved bringing my lunch today went towards paying almost $10 for my train tickets.  Grrr.

For the first time this week, I did finally bring lunch from home today – a turkey sandwich.  I also brought some edamame and some carrots.  I have an apple as well. 

I’ve got two meetings this afternoon, otherwise I have a bunch of stuff on my desk to organize and address.  Ugh.
