I phoned my doc for a referral to a pulmonary doc.  The referral’s earliest avail. appt was 9/23!  I made the appt, and I’m also on a list in the event of cancellations.  I left a message w/ my primary doc telling him this and that I’d like to go ahead w/ him for the xray.  Hope to hear back from him today.

Didn’t go to the gym or do any other exercise last night.  My only sorry excuse is that it was taco night. 

Kelly, re your comment - I tool another look at the group exercise schedule for my gym.  During the week, the only classes I could get to after work are the later ones, which are yoga on M & W, and a “Yoga & Pilates” class on Thurs.  On the weekend, there are a few cardio offerings each day.  I have taken a yoga class at this gym and it was a good one, but I wasn’t exactly looking to do yoga for my main exercise.  I would definitely be willing to get to a Sat. morning cardio class - I did that for years and it’s a good way to start my Saturday.  I’m disappointed that several of the weeknight cardio classes start at the same time I arrive home from work.  I’d have to change my schedule quite a bit to get to those.  Now that I just said that, I actually checked the train schedule and “quite a bit” turns out to be leaving home and work only 30 - 35 minutes earlier than usual.  It sounds so inconsequential in black and white, but for some reason, every minute in the morning counts and it’s very difficult for me to get out of the house early.  But getting into a new routine could be worthwhile. 

There are also a number of classes that start really early in the morning and I don’t ever see myself dragging my butt out of bed to get to a class that starts at 5:45 or 6 am.  The best I could do would be to drag myself into the basement for an exercise video session. 

So, I will plan on getting to a class on Saturday morning.  I’m a bit nervous about my options, because I’ve never taken a spinning class (8:15 am) and it’s been a long time since I’ve done a step workout, and there’s an advanced step class at 9:15.  But I’ll give one of those a go. 

Bf just phoned and told me the podiatrist office phoned to report my orthotics are in.  Unfortunately the office closes today at 4 pm.  I will phone and see if I can just pick them up or if they need to see if they fit properly. If they can just be picked up, maybe bf can get them for me.  Tonight I will go to Joann’s for the pattern sale and see if they have the pajama pattern I want.  (Tawna - here’s the link to it:  link to pattern )

Okay, I better get this posted and get to work.  I have two meetings today.  I’m totally not in the mood to work, and it’s only Thursday.  I need to just focus and get into a groove and hopefully the day will go by quickly.
