A day in the life....

I woke up feeling crappy today and needing a few extra hours of sleep...so I emailed work and fell back asleep within a few minutes.

G-man has a habit of stopping home between his classes at Lakeland and his classes at South. If it were not for that habit of his, I may have slept the day away....

But after I crawled out of bed and made a little lunch for myself, I was feeling quite a bit better.

In fact, I probably got more work done in 5 hours at home than I would have in 8 at the office...yeah, part of that is because I would have went to all of the scheduled meetings if I was at the office, instead of just one phone conference...but that is a whole other issue...

About 6:30 I decided it was a Bally's night. Apparently, a lot of other people in Willoughby decided the same thing. I am one of the strange breed who like to work out by myself. I do not mind going with someone, but once I get there, I like to go off on my own at my own pace; It is like a road trip for me...time to be by myself and think...

Well, tonight I was thinking and wondering...why do they have beach chairs around an indoor lap pool? And why were they all occupied tonight? Ok, so there is a sauna and steam room and hot tub, and you are suppose to take a break after a little bit in them, but these people visit with each other, take naps, do sit-ups and leg exercises...I just do not quite get it...what am I missing?

Maybe it was because the water in the pool was so cold tonight. I actually could not get warm...so I too took a break. But I opted for the hot tub, where it was warm.

After two sessions in the pool, I headed for home. As I pulled down my road, a noticed a van in my drive. Ah, my friendly neighbor was returning some books she borrowed. She and her husband were on their way to the library...hmm, I had been thinking I need to get to the library, so I hopped in their van and off we went...me not thinking that I had just come from ballys and looked like it...sweats and no supporting underwear...bare feet in slipper like shoes...wet, unbrushed hair tied back...no makeup...

Oh and by the way, after the library, we're stopping at our brother's house to drop something off...maybe we should have mentioned that earlier....

Oh no worries, I will just be your token tag-a -long slob.....

But all in all it was a fun evening; a nice little impromptu jaunt around town with friends, all sharing stories of our lives as parents of teenagers, and noone commenting on my state of un-dress - just as if I was one of those teenagers whose parents do not care how they leave the house...hey just as long as they come back on their own power and not escorted by the cops....

Thanks for the joy ride J & G:)
