Alas.....Friday

Now, one might assume that a Friday would call for enthusiasm, bouts of joy and happiness from the cubicle next to you, and happy hour on the way home.  I work at a store that carries just a little bit of everything.  I got up at 3:33am this morning to dress myself, make myself presentable (at least to try), make my lunch and arrive at work promptly to clock in at 4:30am.  This is not my Friday.  I get Sunday/Mondays as my weekend, which I don't really mind.  Except for this week they scheduled me for 6 days and so Tuesday was my day off.  Anyway, I got off work and then.... (we'll back up just a bit)

[I'm getting married to my wonderful fiance James :)  He's the sweetest man alive and I couldn't be happier!  James also works at the oversized grocery store where I am employed.  A guy we both know from work, Hank, who is intimidating in appearance to say the least, owns a gym.  So Hank told James that as a wedding present he would do personal training with me for an hour a week until the wedding (which is in July).  Frankly, a vase or a spatula would have thrilled me more but it sounds more impressive to say that I "went to a personal trainer", plus and mostly, James convinced me to go and this is my second week. ]

Back to the present...

So I was only scheduled for 5 hours today, so after work I went to Hank's gym.  Last week I discovered that the worst part of the workout was the huge bandage I was going to need for my pride.  I was slightly optimistic that this week would be better, however....FAIL.

For the record, I'm not overweight or anything.  I'm 5'8" (5'8 1/2" on a good day) and 130-135 pounds.  I'm just not very athletic.  I'm not too ashamed of the fact that I've coined the phrase "admitted wimp", because I am.

Anyway, I'm tired.  We were suppose to go do pre-marital counseling this week with a couple from Church but I've had a head cold all week and I don't want to get their baby sick.  Considerate and convenient, because I don't want to move my lazy butt off this couch for awhile....I just might take a nap
