Yeah, that was me... working on a Sunday. Isn't it funny how you have a whole day figured out, what you need to do, how to do it, how much time it will take -- only to have your entire plans changed by someone in management??? I figured I could do what needed to be done, plus a little extra, in five hours. Needless to say, I could have worked a full eight and still not have been done! But. I refused to sit through a lunch hour on a day when I wasn't scheduled to work a full day..... Instead, I came home to my fav breakfast meal: Peanut Butter on Toast. I love creamy, melty PB on warm toasted wheat bread. :)
The rest of my day was spent sitting. Laying. Squirming. Moving again. I was trying to ease a pain in my foot. Something in the arch of my foot has tensed up, and there's a knot. Sometimes it takes hours for it to relax and go away. Today, I tried a version of BenGay on it. Then tied a heating pad around it. I laid on my side. I elevated my leg. I even got up and tried to do some stretches. I have a little ball with knobby's all over it, it vibrates, I roll my foot around on it. That helped a little as well. It took about 5 hours for the pain to subside enough that I felt I could toss dinner in the oven, take out the recycle trash, and run Sadie around the back yard for a few minutes. (I like to wear her out before I crawl into bed... otherwise she tends to keep me awake... )
I spent some time chatting with some folks last night. Again, I felt the resentment of time lost where I could be doing other things. But at the same time, it was good for me to have actual conversations with someone other than #AzSadieThePug. lol
No time for photography today. And it looks to be a very busy week. I don't want that at all. I just want to go in, do my time and go home! I've been trying to figure in my mind just how to work this week. I thought perhaps I'd go in, do my thing and then dash over to another store to give them some help they requested. I'm not sure just how much needs doing over there, so I'd like to know and be prepared for the rest of my week. I was promised to them on Thursday, around 8am, but when I flipped my calendar, I found I've a doctor's appointment for a physical that day.
I'm not looking forward to that at all. Mostly because I'm embarrassed that the pounds I managed to lose have come back. I didn't stick with my regimen of healthy eating, or of going to the gym every day. But dammit! It's so not fair sometimes. I wear a pedometer from time to time and I walk the equivalent of about 6 miles a day for my job. I also walk my dog every morning half mile. A year ago, I was also spending an hour a day, five days a week, in the gym. Along with staying under 1600 calories. And that was just to maintain my weight. To lose weight, I had to up the gym time to 90 mins, and cut back 200 calories a day. Well..... excuse me, but that's not much of a life! Get up before dawn, walk the dog, head for work, walk on my feet for 9+ hours, then get all hot n sweaty in a gym. Head home only to make supper, clean up a bit, play with Sadie, hop in the shower and tumble into bed. We all talk about Quality of Life.... well, what's the quality in that???? yeah, I don't think the doc will agree with those as excuses either. *sigh*
We shall see. I'm more concerned with making sure I'm healthy in a good way, get my annual colonoscopy, and keep the dreaded "C" word out of my vocabulary.
Hope everyone has a better week than mine is shaping up to be.
Keep Smiling! I am :) :) :)
