Today was was an eery kind of day at the office.  It was dark outside, storming much of the day with *LOUD* thunder, the phone at the office didn't ring once until 4:00, and I had only 2 work emails all day (when I usually have 20ish, daily).  I'm not a fan of thunderstorms.  At all.  With all the quietness in the office and all the darkness and thunderness outside, I felt like something ominous was on the prowl. 

The GOOD news is that I got tons of work done!  I had to work late today and so I was late getting started on my workout today.  Landlord Doug told me today that I needed to try the Cybex machine at the gym.  It's an elliptical machine, but just made differently from your normal elliptical.  He bragged about how great it was and how much he loved it.  So, I thought I'd give it a try tonight. 

.....PpsssshhhhH!  Dougster can ride that machine all day long but I myself will pass on that opportunity in the future.  I ran like a grasshopper on that thing for 50 minutes.  I went 2 and a quarter miles.  ...In 50 minutes.  It's like climbing a mountain pulling your knees up to your chest every step.  I was not loving it.  Of course I like to see the miles rack up on whatever machine or trail I'm on.  But the miles weren't tick'n today.  But I ASSURE you, I got a workout. 

I headed for my long drive home and had to stop at the drug store to use a coupon that was about to expire (it saved me $15!).  Then I got home, showered, packed for the weekend, made me a PB&J sandwich (upscale, I know) and sat down to eat it and simultaneously fold clothes at 9:00.  Nine o'clock.  I finished the sandwich and folding and returned to the household chores of dishes and laundry.  I repeat... I*Do*Not*Know*How*You*Mothers*Do*It.  It was all I could do to feed Lassie cat and myself.  And she had dry cat food and I had PB&J.

Whew.  I did ice my legs while eating and folding clothes.  They feel like they could use some more ice.  If I can stay awake long enough, I'll ice them again before I go to bed.  ...Heading that way now.
