My son had to be at the ACT testing site at 7:45 this morning.  That means I was up before 7 to get him going and awake enough to do well on this exam.  Anyway, he had to be there at 7:45.  So, what would YOU do if you were already up, dressed and awake enough to drive on Saturday at 7:45?  Well, in the old days, I would have driven back home and climbed into bed to grab a few more snuggly sleep hours with Hus-Bo. What do you think happened today?

Well, I had planned to take the spin class at 9 with my friend, but she was at the ER all night with her dad.  She's kind of in the place I was about 18 months ago.  So, she bailed by email.  There was my "out."  But I'm not that girl these days.  I just modified my plans slightly.  Instead of going to the spin class that would make me wait an hour, I decided to do an upper body and abs workout and then get in a few miles on the treadmill.  One hour later, drenched in sweat, I emerged from the gym feeling pretty proud of myself!  I got home by 9:15 and have caught up on email.  I'm going to settle in with some work, coffee, a snuggly bulldog and a subtitled French flick for the remainder of the morning.  I'll walk the dog around noon and pick up SonBo at 1.  This afternoon we may go to the Juneteenth festival down the road.

I would like to announce to the world that I love the GRAVITRON.  I have NEVER been able to do a pull-up on my own and this machine is going to make me strong enough to do it.  Just one.  That's my goal.  I am currently woking with about 30 pounds of resistance.  It's seriously difficult.  I am SO upper-body-strength challenged!

Hope you all have a fanfreakintastic day!

Peace and joy ~ Shannon
