Workin' It!

My son dropped his phone-- cracked the screen, so we were out and about, stopped at Best Buy.  His phone has insurance so they had to order one.  While I was waiting, I was perusing the new phones -- without a contract, some of them are priced at $800 !!!!!!   Now, I know I'm old, but that's more than an entire desktop computer with a 22" touchscreen!!!  I'm sorry, but I'm not about to pay that kind of money for something I carry around in my back pocket.   hOLy bUckEts!



It has been two hellish days at work, involved in a single project sending suncare products back to the vendor.  After five years of doing this each and every year, I keep wondering WHY???  Why do they ship in so much???  It's not like sunshine has a "season" here in the Valley of the Sun.  We get sunshine 300+ days a year.   We use sunscreen year round.  And frankly, in the summer isn't when we use the bulk of it!  More like spring and fall, because that's when its nice enough to actually be outdoors again!  Every single little can has to be scanned individually into a credit memo -- and there are about 10,000 items!  Yeah, as you can imagine, I'm just sitting here shaking my head.  It seems quite pointless to overdo something that you're going to un-do four months down the road.   I moved here from Ohio -- now THERE is a place that has a seasonal need for sunscreens.  The sun only shines from May to October!  *laughs*



I am back at the gym.  I know, I keep saying that, but this time, I feel it.  I felt it last Thursday, I was actually looking forward to it, and pleased with myself afterward.  Today was the same thing.  I actually put away my work tools and decided that all my work would be there again tomorrow, and left for the day.  I got to the gym, slipped into my workout clothes and jumped on the elliptical.  I went 2.45 miles in 40 minutes, and I'm damn pleased with myself!  I also made it through the day with only one Diet Coke -- and lately, that's been tough for me!
