"these ones are sneaky," maria said as i stood bent over with weights in my hands. "they feel okay when you're doing them, but later, your hamstrings are going to be very, very sore."
today, my hamstrings (aka ham and cheeses) are very, very sore. i can't cross my legs with much success, but that's alright. "we measure progress in burn," maria reminds me everytime i yelp like a puppy. apparently, i am making progress.
it's a whole new saturday this morning. for one thing, i am not cold. our furnace was finally turned on yesterday, and so i slept through the night in a warm house. oh, and i'm not working this morning. for whatever reason, the scheduling gods at work decided that my workweek will now be monday-friday, as opposed to the thursdays and sundays i used to have off. what all this means is, the weekend before the craziness of the christmas season officially begins, i am home. i mercifully was given four days off in a row, and i didn't have to ask for it!
if this entry seems pretty boring, you have guessed its main theme: no drama.
i have made a conscious effort this week to step back from anything that would pull me in and beg for what little emotional energy i possess. and so, despite an ailing uterus (oh endomitriosis, did you not get the memo that this is no drama week?), i feel stronger and much more relaxed.
today is clem obedience training day, wherein i will attempt to talk him into no longer biting my nose for pleasure. it's also haircut day, and possibly a car-cleaning day.
hooray for boring entries.
