There is such a thing as a happy Monday! When it's a holiday from work! I get MLK Day off, too, which is really nice. I did start off my day when I woke up lying in bed for a few minutes thinking about what a remarkable man Dr. King was.
To do today: Go to the gym, update my iPod playlist (part of my New Years ideas to keep me motivated at the gym!), and do some computer work for my community theatre group. First thing when I got up this morning, I put the ingredients for black bean soup in the slow cooker, so that will be cooking all day while I work.
Yesterday I went to my first benchpress competition training section of the year. Our previous trainer left us for the year, sad, but another trainer from the gym is taking over, and my usual training partner is there. Still just the two of us women and a bunch of guys, but there weren't as many big hulking men or angry music yesterday. My shoulders and triceps are sore today! I think I need cardio and abs/core this morning.
Hi Oboegal! Jump right in! Does your name come from actually playing the oboe? I played clarinet for about 5 years when I was a kid, but gave it up finally bc I hated practicing.
Dagmar, glad DH is out walking. I'm sure it's really great for him to know how much you support him, even though he decided quitting his job wasn't best right now.
Bill, wow, I need one of those pills too! I've gotten better about holding onto things but there's room for improvement. My mom won't let go of anything, and 2 of her siblings also hoard stuff (almost to the point of the "Hoarders" show). If there's a hoarding gene, I think I got it.
Have a good day all.
ETA: Jessica, we posted at the same time. Good luck with the intellectual property, don't let yourself get too stressed out by it. You & Saef don't get me started - you say "Arms of the Angel" and images of those poor creatures start flashing through my head and I start welling up!
