My Vida Loca!!!
Well, it has been close to a week since my last post. It's been down right crazy!!
Cross Fit has not happened for me since last thursday. I typically don't do fridays anyway, but this week with preparations for vacation, I've been putting in long hours to get work done! Still up now at 2am and almost done for the day ~ I'm at a stand still since I need to call reservation numbers and they are all sleeping still. I would like to say that I will make it in 3 hours (unlikely as I am starting to get tired now)...and I'd like to make it on thursday- but will other things that need to get done, I seriously doubt that also.
Exercise really has not happened much since last week- I taught my spin class on friday and took line dancing class at the gym on saturday. We did not go dancing friday, but went bowling instead. Monday I subbed a line dance class and then today/tuesday taught my spin class. I hate not getting my 2 hours of workout in each day- feeling sluggish right now which is a combination of cut back workouts and an increase of stress eating!
Spaz is doing very well, he's still eating like a fat cat and gaining weight- I weighed him over the weekend and he's back to 6.2 pounds - GREAT news! The not so great news is that he decided to use the corner of the living room as a potty place. We had to cut out part of the carpet there and have been trying to get rid of the stink- but unsuccessfully it would seem since I caught the furball peeing in the corner tonight on the concrete subfloor that is exposed. So I have now barracaded the area, tried treating it again with Nature's Miracle and will attempt Bleach again tomorrow. If he was showing signs of being really sick right now, making "the decision" would be easier!! I'm not a fan of my house being destroyed! I have been successful in arranging for caretakers while we're on vacation. Brandon (one of my best friend's son) is going to house sit while we're gone and another friend, Sunny is going to come by at lunch to visit and feed since the kitty is eating 4 times a day!
Mom - we successfully purchased a new car for her this past weekend- a 2007 Toyota Yaris and it's a beautiful cobalt blue. She has done a few test drives, but had not driven now since sunday- I think we need to drive with her a little bit more until she has confidence to do it on her own. The car is a completely different feel vs. the old buick boat that she had! I sure hope when I'm 80, I am not as easily made afraid of things like this.
Vacation - I am getting very excited to leave this week on our cruise- I need the down time. I have been convinced that I should not take my laptop- so I'm going to leave it home. If I really feel the need, I can go to the internet cafe. Going to try to avoid it. I've been busting my tail this week to get things done. I don't know why, but everytime I seem to plan a vacation, all the new complicated trip requests show up. I'm trying to accept that I can only do so much and as long as I do my best- that is all I can do. Tomorrow (well today) is my last day. I have taken Thursday off so that I can take mom to her hair appointment, pack my stuff and then we head to the airport around 4pm. Weather forecasts for Alaska are getting a little better- am starting to see some possible sunny and 70 reports!
