  • en-route to meeting talk with JW and KP about content errors in one course (I was given wrong information. grrr.) and launch plans for another course.
  • Arrive at site for 4:00 meeting at 4:06. No one else is there. Order cold press coffee. Large.
  • At 4:20, call church office and ask for phone number. Call person I’m supposed to be meeting only to find out meeting was moved to Friday at 2:30.
  • Decide to take the next 20 minutes and get a manicure (non-essential. I know)

  • Answer an email from a cousin.
  • Go to bed and check a couple of blogs. Start this post. 11:30 p.m. Done by about 1:00a.m. (gotta love the back-dating.)

Now, I ask you oh interwebs of wisdom: Where the hell in that schedule (and admittedly there were a couple of wrenches thrown into it) was I supposed to put 1) a 45 minute walk/jog and 2) 30 minutes of decluttering.

In all honestly, the ONLY thing that could have given was the time with MC. A woman who is on the beginning end of the divorce cavalcade of fun, whose birthday is tomorrow. I was supposed to call her and tell her "sorry. can’t meet. I have to walk?" or clean?

Seriously. When I say it’s hard to fit exercise into my life, please, for the love of God, believe me.

    In this girl’s humble opinion, a busy schedule like that counts as exercise.


  3. laura b.No Gravatar Says:

    I agree with randi! It sounds like you run non-stop and that should so count!
    Does it help at all to know that I am jealous you have a dishwasher? haha!


  4. churlitaNo Gravatar Says:

    I am super jealous of your dishwasher too.

    But your schedule? Yikes! I still can’t believe that I got this paid week off. It was so bizarre to just slow everything down. I didn’t have to take migraine meds once this week. Hmmmmm.

    I am with the others.

    Simply READING about your day makes me tired!

    Also - if your meal friend (lunch? dinner?) is interested, perhaps a slow walk pre/post meal could be included?

    I still think that your heavy duty day was packed with exercise!
