It's Today!

Wow. It sure felt like a Monday! and here it is Tuesday.  Usually a better day for me, but for some reason, everything seemed like it was running in slow motion.  Or maybe because there was just too much to do.  Ugh.  Its pretty typical for my job, but some days I seem to handle it better, I suppose.  By 2pm, I felt terribly sluggish, so I grabbed myself a Starbucks Refresher -- yeah, I know, calories I didn't need, but it gave me just that extra edge.  And I'm thinking its probably better than a plain shot of caffeine from a Diet Coke.

After work, it was right to the gym - I definitely needed some cardio.  I hopped on the stairmaster and went for 5 minutes, up "eight flights of stairs".  It went ok, but stepping onto moving stairs leaves me a little leery, so I tend to hang on for balance.  Then a mile on the treadmill - in 14:57 - yay me!  Then on to the elliptical for a 14:30 mile (those go faster for me for some reason! but I'll take it!! hehehe)

After that, it was drive thru Taco Bell for a steak taco salad -- Dad had a craving, and I never turn one of them down!  I had to chuckle:  I usually go to the same Taco Bell, and its usually on Thursdays about 4:30pm.  Although it's Tuesday, it was still around 4:30 -- my "usual gal" was on the speaker taking orders, and I ordered two taco salads instead of one, and no Locos tacos!  She asked me again to make sure she heard me correct.  When I got to the window, she smiled, and says "No sauce, correct?"  lol yep, she remembers me.  After handing back my card, she asked "Where's the dog?"   lmao.  I'm not sure if it means she's good at remembering, or I'm bad because I have a "taco bell habit". hahahahaha

Dad and I had supper (mid-west folk still call it supper, even after they're transplanted in the West!) then watched the news together.  Mom flies in from Minnesota tonight, where the wind chill factor had the temps at 35below --- BRRRRRrrrrr!!!!!   She'll be happy to be back on the west coast for sure!!

I'm tired, but its a satisfied tired - physical activity and doing something good with family today makes it just that way.   :) :)
